Would love an adult sci-fi, or spec-fi with strong world-building centered on a Latinx culture, but also want it to have a very strong science fiction plot line. Would love Dune vibes. #MSWL

I keep think about the potential of latinx sci-fi, so I painted a thing pic.twitter.com/ZRFVApxbXyEditor

Adult historical fantasy (show me a location or pivotal moment in history I've never seen in SFF)
Contemporary YA (show me how powerful& combustible teenage relationships are)
Middle grade sci fi, contemporary, or fantasy (I'm pretty wide open; nothing is off the table!) #mswl

I am open to multiple genres right now! #MSWL
Adult sci fi (PLEASE send me a shockingly weird and powerful space opera)
Adult fantasy (twisty world politics and shifting loyalties with magic)
Adult romance (something that walks a WF line - the queerer the better, too)

I can’t stop thinking about this.Someone write me a reverse, PoC Howard Carter #SFF novel where cultural artifacts are repatriated to their rightful inheritors. Give me the fantasy or future tech inverse heist novel. #MSWL twitter.com/_iwakeli_i/sta…
YES PLEASE (I even wrote a #MSWL tweet about this a while ago!)

I desperately want to go to space right now! I love warm, character-driven adventures a la Becky Chambers, and more sweeping space operas. Give me your ragtag crews and seemingly impossible odds, battles and hijinks (and..ahem...some romance) #MSWL

I’m really in the mood for SFF with a strong and unique authorial voice. Think Charlie Jane Anders #MSWL

Three things right now:
1. Clinical books about how we can heal ourselves during this difficult time.
2. Books that offer a world of escapism such as fantasy and science fiction, etc.
3. Lighthearted and humorous books to lighten the mood.

YA or adult or crossover, SFF or contemporary or romance, I don’t care; just send me your books starring queer, exceptionally charming disasters #MSWL

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!

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 PiningEditor

@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?
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
