And @a_cochran says: I’m looking for quality crime/thriller/speculative/SFF (would love a good epic fantasy), literary novels, historical that doesn’t wear its research too heavily, and anything with a strong concept that hooks me from the first page bit.ly/3btDWXS

I’d 🖤 a scifi novel about all the aliens who’ve been quietly monitoring us for years who suddenly show up all at the same time when they start getting satellite images back of our planet after it went “quiet” due to coronavirus #MSWL so I want worried mothering alien overlords!

Hello friends! I am day 3 of #workingfromhome and still adjusting to this new normal. But will hopefully have lots of time to get through my submissions next week if you're waiting for a response - excited to have the time to properly dig in!

Have a look at my #mswl pinned tweet if you're thinking of submitting - I'm actively looking to build my list and welcome submissions in a whole range of genres, from picture books to SFF 👋

I’d also love to see something sci-fi -light. Like Another Earth or The OA for young readers/crossover. #MSWL

to everyone who's writing epic feelings-laden adult SF/F that's thinly veiled untamed fic rn, remember me when you go on sub. have your agent play wangxian.mp3 and I'll do the editorial equivalent of grabbing your manuscript's wrist with Great Feeling and 13-16 Years of Pining

@tadethompson @Gambit589 @jeannette_ng @Shakes_P Does this make me an apprentice witch?! I'll take it! @writingandcoe I feel this is your wheelhouse.

Also, there has to be a book somewhere about this right?

Replying to @RemyNjambi

I would like to confirm that knitters are indeed witches, but also confirm that I can't knit: I'm terrible at it😅

I will, however, absolutely take a book on this theme! #mswl #sff

My first for @BitchMedia is about the importance of having disabled authors reimagine the fairy tale canon and write our own SFF and magic stories. @DisabledWriters #CripLit #DisabledWriters bitchmedia.org/article/review…

It's been a while since I've done a #MSWL and I try not to b/c honestly, sometimes I don't know what I want until I see it - but I know some of y'all find these useful so here goes...

In Adult SFF #MSWL I'm partial to:
- Fresh twists & unique concepts
- I love all kinds: dystopia, post apoc, space opera, high fantasy, low, magical realism, urban, etc - but it HAS to be different than what's already out there.
- Mash ups and new takes most welcome

Zabé/Z.R. Ellor @ZREllor

My two cents on YA sci-fi—it works best when the science fiction elements line up with actual teen struggles. Uglies and Divergent are two great examples. Body image? Cliques and belonging? These books use science fiction to speak directly to the unique needs of teens

I’m all for YA sci-fi, but totally agree 👇👇👇, so if you can show me how your YA SF aligns to teen struggles, then #MSWL, y’all.

Naomi Davis, literary agent @NaomisLitPix

• Adult sci fi! I need, like, an EXTREMELY energetic space opera. I want a sensory explosion in space, an enemy so frightening I get nightmares, that I'll come to understand and hopefully empathize with, too. Show me how the characters misunderstood their whole universe.

Would really, really love to see this in my query box! #mswl

#MSWL SFF in non-Western settings by #ownvoices authors

#MSWL tweet! On top of seeing some atmospheric lighthouse submissions hit the inbox, I wonder if anyone is writing some good SF around isolation - something that makes me feel like a microscopic dot against a microscopic dot. I'd also love a fast-paced UK/European thriller.
