"I love sci fi and fantasy novels. I read a ton of them. But they have to be accessible. What does that mean? It means that readers who don't traditionally pick up much sci fi & fantasy, can pick up one of these novels and enjoy it."

Beautifully written or Upmarket Adult fantasy/SF/horror that would appeal to a book club audience. Think MEXICAN GOTHIC, STATION ELEVEN, or THE STARLESS SEA. #mswl

YA/NA #MSWL: although sci-fi is still tough, I always say things in publishing are tough but not impossible.

I’d love a BIPOC grounded sci-fi mystery/thriller that can be comp’d to DEVS/Tales From The Loop/The OA.

MG #MSWL: I am looking for a grounded science fiction story set five minutes in the future that’s Super 8 meets The Arrival/Tales From The Loop/DEVS (but from an MG perspective), and which also includes a strong parental presence.

It's #MSWL Day... 📜

In Adult I'm now open to SFF, so I'd love to see lush world building, morally grey MC's & lovable villains 🖤

Time Travel where it compliments a much bigger plot 🪐

I'm still on the look out for a psychological thriller with an unreliable narrator 🎭

Big fascinating SFF with a moment that grabs you by the throat, like EMPIRE OF EXILES or the forthcoming THESE BURNING STARS - or, not on my list, THE TRAITOR BARU CORMORANT or GIDEON THE NINTH.

Romantic SFF along the lines of CM Waggoner, Freya Marske, THE UNDERTAKING OF HART & MERCY, or WINTER'S ORBIT (or the secret book that will be announced v soon, hang tight)

As for me, I'm always looking for genre-blending literary fiction, accessible sci-fi and fantasy, diverse and inclusive kid-lit, and moving non-fiction.

Some recent examples from my list? Here are some by @AlisonStine @mikechenwriter @mk_england and @JamesTateHill.

I'm only looking for sci-fi in the adult space and prefer distant-future space-set stories. I love SF that is kind-of-sort-of-fantasy, like Yoon Ha Lee & Tamsyn Muir.

Finally got around to watching Poker Face (ep1) with @BrendonAlekseii and all it's done is emphasize how much I would love some SFF that feels like this, or a Knives Out movie.

2. I'm also still craving a BIPOC elves/fae book

3. A corruption arc

4. YA sff that isn't gritty or dark and has personal stakes instead of big world ending ones

A VERY specific wish list item, could be any genre (SF/F, horror, contemporary, etc.) but a novel about the Navajo Rangers from a Navajo author (perhaps something along the lines of what was featured in Unsolved Mysteries Volume 3).

SF/F that appeals to newcomers to the genre as well as hardcore readers,
​hackers,
fresh romantic fantasy,
stories exploring a matrilineal inheritance through a trans POV,
real, burgeoning science & innovative technology taken to the next level

I'm also interested in SFF that shows characters with a strong sense of spirituality. Though caveat, I'm not the right editor for overtly Christian narratives.
