A few specific #mswl bits I'm on the hunt for at the moment: character-driven sci-fi (THE LAST WATCH), gothic horror (THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE), immersive mystery (Attica Locke's Highway 59 series), and journalistic nonfiction (Patrick Radden Keefe is a favorite).

The plot of It's Raining Men is honestly a banger sci-fi concept #MSWL

I'm on the hunt for excellent, original #romance in the sci-fi/fantasy genres that fits Mystic Owl guidelines. Submission details here: cityowlpress.com/queries/#mysti… #MSWL #querytrenches #amquerying

#mswl would love a mg or ya fantasy or scifi set in Ethiopia. Or an adult royal romance. Or a historical fantasy romance. Or a biopic related to the royal family.

And finally if you have chapter book or middle grade book that uses humour, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi or any combination thereof to help little kids explore their big feelings like in COCO and OVER THE MOON, please send me your work. #mswl

Been meaning to mention that I have an editor #MSWL page a la @ManuscriptWList.

#Writers: this may also be a helpful starting point to see what a #literaryagent is looking for in #submissions.

In SFF: Stories that are feminist and intersectional, particularly in science fiction. #MSWL 6/7

Also #amquerying really looking for *grounded* SF&F right now—MG, YA, A.
✨Usually not the right match for high fantasy.
✨Love to be based in myth/folklore/etc.
✨Love to be grounded with a clear emotional arc.
✨My tastes tend quite literary for Adult.
