instead, i'd love to see speculative YA set in our world, particularly stories that are or play with horror, and fabulist fiction. some books in those spaces that i've enjoyed recently are: DELICIOUS MONSTERS by liselle sambury and HOME IS NOT A COUNTRY by safia elhillo
#mswl

Queer and BIPOC romances! Desperate for more representation in my inbox. I'd love:
#MSWL
-contemporary with a speculative twist.

-Romances that feel like Talia Hibbert, Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry. Think delightful banter, big feels

-Monster F**er romances...

Other speculative faves:
· THE ADVENTURES OF AMINA AL SHIRAFI by S. A. Chakraborty

· THE HUSBANDS by Holly Gramazio
· T. Kingfisher

#MSWL (8/10)

Very happy to share my #MSWL , working alongside @ecniumata !

Upmarket or book club fiction that blends genres, including speculative (always enjoy some spookiness!), fantasy/sci-fi, historical, mystery/thriller, etc. (1/10)

Now open for queries! Looking for commercial and upmarket mystery/thriller with a dash of horror, possible speculative elements. Think THE HOUSEMAID, THE WRITING RETREAT, THE PUSH. querytracker.net/query/3237 #writingcommunity #amwriting #writers #MSWL #Mysterywriters #thrillers #booksky

YA: fantasy/speculative with easy entry/accessible worldbuilding, or contemporary settings with magical elements like monsters or witchcraft. Either propulsive like a VE Schwab or cozy like the Spellshop or Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. Open to crossover but has to have that teen voice.

For adults, I'm on the hunt for hooky commercial fiction and women's fiction, especially with a focus on friendship; thoughtful speculative fiction; swoon-worthy romantic comedies and paranormal romance; and a few accessible, grounded fantasy, romantasy, horror, and science fiction novels. #MSWL

I’m going to post a #MSWL list in the new year, but I’m actively looking for MG 🧵
-diverse friendships like STRANGER THINGS or THE SKELETON CREW
-True Crime mystery feel
-Magical Realism with a dystopian twist like SWEET TOOTH
-Jurassic Park
-Space Jam (sports with a speculative twist)

👉 Grounded fiction with an edge—magical realism, speculative elements, and sharp hooks. Fantasy always welcome, but I’m leaning toward reality-anchored stories right now.
👉 Commercial & Upmarket fiction
👉 Mike Flanagan vibes—emotional, haunting, deeply human—I want it. (3/4)

🎵It’s TIIIIIIIME! 🎶
I saw a lot of incredible queries in 2024, and my experiment of opening my inbox one week a month worked out well. I was able to stay on top of my inbox and meet my personal goal of getting my response times waaaaaay down. That said, I’m still going through Sept-Dec queries…

okay. okay wait. okay. bear with me........... #mswl

a speculative new gilded age and the folk hero outlaws of the evolving modern era ????? oh good god let us cook, someone give it to me

I am thrilled to announce I've started as an associate agent @FinePrintLit ! QM 🔗 in replies! So thrilled and grateful for the opportunity. I am open for queries.

More details on the kind of speculative fiction that would be most at home on my list:
YES - near future, primary world, humans or mostly humans, plausible tech, the supernatural
NO - alien races, fantasy creatures, swords & sorcery, invented languages, magical kingdoms, intergalactic anything
#MSWL

Adult or YA contemporary romance with a speculative element (think sliding doors, time loops, things like that!) .
#mswl

someone please please PLEASE give me an upmarket speculative novel set in a travelling circus. a slightly more literary, fresh new take on THE NIGHT CIRCUS. bonus points if strong sense of aesthetic or historical anchoring. pls!!! #mswl

…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.

#MSWL

I’m prioritizing BIPOC and queer & trans writers atm! I’m really hunt for
- MG horror & mystery
- YA horror & mystery
- Adult spec fic, gothic horror, horroromance, romantasy
- sister stories
- mother daughter stories
- mermaids
- stories in the PNW, Appalachia, or arctic!
- dual timelines

TLDR: satirical novels about high society; grounded speculative fiction; sweeping family sagas; upmarket suspense & thriller; voice-driven contemporary fiction; postcolonial fiction; global stories; social & political critiques; stories exploring love, loss, grief, nature of time
