between dimension20.bsky.social’s Cloudward, Ho! and Washington Black on Hulu (not to mention the enduring success of Arcane!), I really really *really* need steampunk to have its comeback in books as well!!! give me goggles! airships! weird retro technology!! magitech!!!! #mswl

I’m looking to bring back some classics: dystopian and steampunk settings like STATION ELEVEN and Arcane, respectively.

- 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

#mswl

Chinese dynasties, older African cultures.

Scifi: space operas! And all the punks, steampunk, cyberpunk, scavengerpunk. Oh and aliens.

A note on romance. I do very much appreciate the submissions I've gotten and am reviewing them carefully, I'm just really picky about romance

Aaaaand my #MSWL is here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/trinica-sampson-vera/ Looking forward to reading your amazing queries! 💞

YES:
2. Anything with an industrial feel. I still haven’t quite gotten over my steampunk phase, and maybe never will.
3. Different forms of magic (bone magic, song magic, written magic, etc.)
4. Anything based in/on history (Vikings, court intrigue, creepy mythology, etc.) #mswl

as always, BIPOC queries only! but other than that, I'd pretty much love to see anything gaming-adjacent or in the categories of steampunk, solarpunk, cyberpunk, any -punk kind of aesthetic really! i feel like those subgenres can really be pushed in illustrative works.

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur… I did a proper thing! #mswl

Querying authors, we're looking for #Steampunk (YA or adult) and YA fairy tale retellings geared toward the #Christian market. Looking for authors with strong platforms. No DMs. See submission guidelines here: rachellegardner.com/submissions #MSWL #Inspybooks #amwriting #ChristFic

the steampunk mixed with a dash of cyberpunk???? jinx’s no-turning-back villainous spiral???? the rifts and tension built between friends and family bc of ACTIVE choices characters make???? INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS UGH #mswl

steampunk stories about sky pirates or mecha. i'd love to see something in the vein of final fantasy xii's worldbuilding and characters.

I would give my first born child for an amazingly written, romance-heavy, steampunk manuscript. Never mind that I don't have kids. #MSWL
