I feel like spec fic is having a moment so bringing this one back! #MSWL

In two days, on Friday July 5th, I will be open for queries. ONLY adult, upmarket/literary/commercial fiction, can be dark and psychological with speculative elements. High stakes, complicated characters, propulsive story lines. Open soon for other genres. #MSWL

On July 5th I will open for queries. For 2 weeks, I am looking for upmarket/literary /commercial fiction, can be dark and psychological with speculative elements. High stakes, complicated characters, propulsive story lines. #MSWL #writersoftwitter #literaryfiction

My inbox needs more New Adult (NA) romance and speculative fiction (but no horror, please)! #mswl

6) What I call speculative romance: e.g. romance in our world that also has a bit of magic. Think Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.

7) Fantasy romance where the story is equal parts both, and the world and fantasy plot enhances the romance and vice versa.

I represent these genres but I am also not limited to these genres: Historical, Literary, Women’s Fiction, Southern Fiction, Sci-fi, Fantasy, YA, Adventure, Speculative, Inspirational, Thriller. brandyvallance.com / barbarabovaliteraryagency.com #mswl #amquerying

- speculative fiction
(I prefer grounded, literary sci-fi + fantasy. few secondary worlds, but rather our world steeped in liminal magic and/or technology. anything creepy, toothy, gritty, strange, something that sends a shiver down your spine.)
- steampunk everything

Hi everyone!! I am open to queries starting today! 🥳🥳

Below are some themes and genres that I’m particularly looking for right now. Im so excited to read your stories!
querymanager.com/query/2999

I am ONLY looking for YA/New Adult/Adult stories in romance, rom-coms, romantasy, upmarket/book club fiction, and women's fiction. OK to cross into the magical side of speculative (time travel, time slip, parallel universe stories a la THE SEVEN YEAR SLIP by Ashley Poston)

it's tough because i say "sff" and my light fantasy/fabulist/very lightly speculative people then don't realize I'm open to them!!

how many people are not querying me because my listed genre of "speculative fiction" is confusing them....I am beginning to become alarmed at the questions I'm getting....if your book has a hint of ANYTHING magical/fantastical/sci-fi-y I am open to it pls

Hi, all! I’m open to queries again starting today! Here are some specifics about what I’m on the hunt for but you can read my longer wishlist (and access my query form!) here: corvisieroagency.com/alexandra-grana.html

Still thinking about the 2009 movie. If you have a spec fic romance that vibes with this, please send! #MSWL

My current Wishlist:

👩🏻‍⚖️ A contemporary novel centred around a courtroom drama
🔪 A female serial killer thriller with series potential
⚡️ High concept crime, historical, or bookclub with a strong feminist and/or speculative angle

#MSWL

In fiction: speculative, magical realism, horror, romance. In NF: narrative NF, memoir, biography, immigrant stories, cultural commentary, people in history, lesser known professions and crafts (builders, designers, architects), musicians/artists/creators, daredevils, athletes.

…returning to nature & to ourselves.

I will always be drawn to international stories and settings - what is unfamiliar (& uncomfortable!) to a Western reader.

I don’t tend to rep high fantasy, but love magic & a speculative hook.

Every kind of love, please.

Today's #MSWL item is VERY specific:

I want whip-smart absurdist OR speculative literary fiction that acts as satirical or hyperbolic commentary on the oddly accepted parts of culture and society.
Eg: Kevin Wilson's NOTHING TO SEE HERE or Jessamine Chan's SCHOOL FOR GOOD MOTHERS

- near future speculative, where Earth is *almost* the same, but changes reflect and comment on our current social, political, and environmental trajectory.
- novels in verse that explore the beauty and darkness kids face daily
- NONFICTION NONFICTION NONFICTION
