In February, I did an agent feedback giveaway. Here's what I saw: tmblr.co/Z1DsEu23-zs8k #askagent #mswl #amquerying
The world has lots of great middle grade fantasy - how about some #MG #scifi? #mswl buff.ly/2275qvv

I think hard #scifi for a #YA audience has untapped potential! #mswl buff.ly/1QKIlX0

If this is woven in with magical realism, science fiction, mystery, other genres that get kids reading, all the better. #MSWL

So the #sciencefiction I want to see in my #MSWL? Smart SF that takes a diverse future as a given.

And I don't mean sidekicks either. I mean heroes. And full on casts. #sciencefiction #MSWL

And then look at demographic predictions for the next 50 or 100 years. If you're writing #sciencefiction you need a diverse cast! #MSWL

Late-night #MSWL in reaction to reading yet another SF set in a nearly all-white future: SF is extrapolation! LOOK at current demographics.

Iโd love more erotic works! Especially erotic thrillers, suspense and sci-fi where the action is sexy, thrilling & engaging. #MSWL

What I mean by that is not straight historical fiction, however. Plenty of SFF and contemporary novels have use in the classroom #MSWL

I'd love a YA sci-fi with characters operating mecha suits a la Gundam and Pacific Rim. #mswl

I'd love to see SFF stories about corner- and edge-cases. Your world has rules, sure, but what happens to the exceptions? #MSWL

Okay, but really - if your SFF novel has the kind of world I just want to linger in forever? Please, please send me your book. #MSWL

Diversity strengthens writing! Quote: "[...]itโs about subtracting homogeneity for the sake of realism. - Kowal" Send me diverse SFF! #MSWL

One more #mswl: If you write SFF like CJ Cherryh or Ann Leckie, query me.

I'd like a lighter sci-fi set on another planet or in space, a space opera a la Firefly/Serenity. #MSWL
