Also, cosy romantasy is always a vibe, but let's see some cosy sci-fi: low stakes, high heart, possibly in space! 🚀

As a small sampling of things I love and am on the lookout for:

Genre-benders (think Romantasy, thrillers with a dash of romance, etc)
Speculative with heart (AS King, Adam Silvera, Kacen Callendar)
Thrillers (Isolated settings and beyond)
Sci-Fi (grounded and/or sweeping)

5. Speculative/Fantasy/Sci-Fi: I don't really have specifics here, but I'd love anything that completely transports me to a new world and makes me crave the setting/characters once I finish. Books like Matched, Fourth Wing, Babel, Artemis. Bring on the book hangover. (6/8)

My bookshelf is 50% character-driven sff/speculative/spooky, 50% realistic contemporary/historical (coming-of-age romance, mystery/thriller, action-adventure, and verse novels), mostly by BIPOC, queer, or traditionally underrepresented folks, & my taste very much reflects that.

#MSWL Agents, I've been seeing some fantastic YA sff subs. I'll never say no to sff that captures my heart, but I'm also on the lookout for gorgeously written verse/prose, layered coming-of-age (historical or contemp) esp if it weaves in queer romance and/or mystery/suspense.

In sci-fi and horror think Love Death + Robot themes like Zima Blue, Ice, or Jibaro. I love a blend of culture, punkfuturism, anticolonialism, humor, and a pinch of weirdness.

I thought I might try a #MSWL thread with a slightly different spin. Agents, these are a selection of my favourite books of all time, in no particular order, so you can get to know the kind of SFF I love.

I'm open to Graphic Novels for all age groups.

I'm open again to science fiction and horror, though still being extra picky there. I like my horror to have social commentary.

#MSWL I love the voices of Andy Weir & Martha Wells in science fiction. Andy is so smart but the science feels approachable. Plus his voice is real & smart, witty, real. And totally same vibes from Martha. They make science fiction approachable & easy. Give me that.

The above is only a snapshot of some very specific areas I'm interested in, so if your story has intricate world-building & characters who feel like real portraits (humour/romance a +) please do send to christabelsubmissions(a)davidhigham.co.uk and I'd love to read it #mswl

I lean more towards fantasy than sci-fi, but always love an intricately built space opera. I'm more attracted to the human aspects, so what I'd really love is a Space Soap Opera: imagine Shonda Rhimes writing a show, but setting it on a spaceship. High drama + high stakes! #mswl
