Like it could be a Dark Fantasy or a Speculative Thriller, or an Ensemble Bottle Episode Mystery, or a Heisty Puzzle Solver, or a gloebtrotting Adventurous Romp or a Warm & Fuzzy Rom-Com... but critically... whatever the vibe is I want THE MOST VIBES WE CAN HANDLE.

She’d also love to find ms that speak to the unspoken or largely undiscussed facets of motherhood, like The Push & those that feature speculative fiction settings where people may live and love whomever they please like Hanya Yanagihara’s To Paradise. #writingcommunity /6 end 🧵

I love romantasy, but I’d also be curious to see romance-forward stories in other SFFH genres. Dystopian? Speculative/SF? And maybe most challenging of all….Horror? #mswl

I'm on QueryManager now! 🥰 QueryManager.com/TrinicaSampsonaSampsonVera

#amquerying authors: send me your MG, YA, and adult! I'm a sucker for anything speculative (particularly fantasy, romantasy, and horror) and am especially interested in stories featuring queer/BIPOC rep.

4. Speculative fiction: like our world, but one or two big differences. This is less of a pull for me, but if you’ve got something unputdownable with a massive hook, send it my way!

A sneak peek at my eventual #MSWL —I’d swoon over a Gilmore Girls inspo with a paranormal or speculative element, anything that could comp my favorite song of all time, “Never Surrender” by Cory Hart or a story set in a coastal boating town. #amquerying #WritingCommunity

Hello, a quick #thread blast on about my current #mswl ,

I'm looking out for some commercial genre-bending speculative fic, aka crime, romance, or thriller with a unique uncanny edge.

my #MSWL : stories by queer and trans writers, esp. ones that resist & subvert tropes of trauma, coming out, & transition; novels that make me laugh with their cleverness, wit, & peculiar specificity; grounded speculative fiction with a literary sensibility... (2/7)

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)

I closed to queries for a while, but I'm baaaack! A quick #MSWL note to celebrate While kidlit will always have my heart, I'm actively trying to build up the adult side of my list—so if you've got thrillers, romcoms, horror, spec and contemp fiction, I wanna see!

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.
