Would love to see more cozy mysteries! Whether it’s a traditional one a la Amanda Flower or something a bit more in the vein of DIAL A FOR AUNTIES.
I love bookish or cooking premises, something that is lightly paranormal (think witches or a friendly ghost.) and an animal companion!

#MSWL #CurrentlyReading
"The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches" by Sangu Mandanna, and I would love to see some queries in my inbox with this vibe!

#MSWL urban fantasy, contemporary fantasy, grounded fantasy--yes. I do love political/court intrigue but I am also hankering for some fantasy about everyday folks! Trades people, bar keeps, swamp witches, mercenaries, thieves, guilds members.

Top of my #MSWL : cozy romantasy! I love it and simply cannot get enough. Witches, vampires, werewolves, and a heaping of romance = 😍❤️‍🔥📚

...
* Stories that play with form
* Family saga's that are anchored in a certain subset (ex. 6ft Under)
* Weird stories
* Stories with witches (all kinds of witches)
* Stories with unique settings - take me somewhere!
* Zombies - believe it or not, I like zombies

Tomorrow, Feb. 12, 2025, is #MSWL Day! Seeking Rom-Coms & Psychological Suspense. See the pics for specifics that will catch my attention! I'll be open to subs Feb. 12-15th. See website link in bio for sub info.

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.

romantasy where the Viera-esque witch falls for the wayward spirit she's trying to save... yes... #mswl

as an #mswl specifically, I'd love a Viera-esque witch protagonist who can commune with the spirit realm and has a connection with a spirit that could help or destroy the world.

it's very Korra-esque but without the manipulation of setting a great evil spirit free. more like therapy adventures?

okay first up is AURORA! a dimension hopping witch who can shift between the physical and spiritual realms. during her research and travels, she happened upon a wayward demigod who became twisted and lost to time.

I will open again to queries on the 7th. I think I want to see more witches in my inbox. I always wanted a coven. THE SECRET CIRCLE and THE CRAFT made me think I would just find one in high school, and I was let down. #mswl

Ultimately, for my list, I like to think of it as a balance between dark and twisty, and warm and cozy.

If the vibes are dark academia, witchy, creepy forests, poisonous plants, cottagecore, or anything gothic (whether it’s horror or historical!) it’s right up my alley.

I also want to see cozier romantasy, where magic is woven into smaller aspects. Think kitchen and garden witches that brew intention into their hobbies.

#mswl I have not gotten any witch or pagan non fiction and I'm BEGGING.

i read 13 graphic novels in 4 days, and i really want to rep more author-illustrators. so, here’s an mswl:
#mswl #kidlitart

🧺 mg camp
🧸 mg contemp with series potential (sunny side up esque)
🎻 ya queer + funny romance
🪈 uncommon family dynamics
📦 modern day ghosts + witches

#MSWL i'd love to see a modern riff on Bell, Book and Candle!

witches and magic are in

I love the relationships in the Holroyd family. You could do a book on Gill, one on brother Nicky, one on the eccentric and delightful aunt.

create a WHOLE world b/t humans+ magic

Send me your witches in space, your arcane scheming nun orders in space, your horrible political marriages in space, your most poisonous space court intrigues and most pointed critiques of space imperialism. (And to be fair, you can also send me all of the above: not in space.)

#MSWL I'd love an Adult/New Adult Harry Potter—witches, wizards, possibly academia (without the JK Rowling baggage of course).

Like THE MAGICIANS but even more accessible and with a strong romance.

Hello writers I will be open for submissions starting Jan 15! Please review my #mswl before submitting
I can't wait to read your amazing stories!

My colleagues at @AlcovePress have been publishing incredible witchy fiction; I'd love to get some commercial witchy nonfiction on my list. Think THE WITCH'S BOOK OF SELF-CARE or something more niche and for a general audience. (2/)
