As far as continued #MSWL , I’d love to see:
• anything with Studio Ghibli vibes in the MG vein
• new adult fantasy with witchy vibes similar to The Craft
• Horror (paranormal, psychological)

14. (Continued from above):

Witches
Ghosts
John Krasinksi
Tom Hanks
Ryan Reynolds
YOU
Back to the Future
YELLOWJACKETS
MAN ON FIRE
THE HUNTED (Roz Nay)
EVERY SUMMER AFTER (Carley Fortune)

12. Other nonfiction categories: true crime, wine and wineries, wine and food pairings (especially if combined with travel), empathic studies and emotional toll on empaths, history of witches and witchcraft, ancient civilizations and locations in the vein of ANCIENT APOCALYPSE.

5. When it comes to Upper MG, I enjoy adventures with pirates, witches, ghosts, animals that can communicate, an underlying moral lesson learned by the main character, strong friendships, and stories of courage, overcoming obstacles, or shining in the face of adversity.

2. Fantasy involving ghosts, witches, etc. Vampires are ok but they need to be human-friendly like ADOW. (I *adore* ADOW!). Historical fantasy like ADDIE LARUE. With historical fiction, I prefer pre-20th century.

I am forever a lover of WITCHES, so whatever slant you have on it: I want to see it. I would love to find something with the contemporary family feel of Charmed. A cosy series would make me very happy - particularly if it featured protagonists from non-European cultures. #mswl

I do love a GOTHIC setting & creepy old houses definitely do it for me - particularly with witchcraft or an ancient family with secrets to hide. In general I am intrigued by the slightly sinister but beautiful: apothecaries, circuses/fairs, old trains/trams and the like. #mswl

Enemies to lovers, but he actually kills her, and she comes back from the dead to kick his ass and then they fall in love?! Anyone??
Witches, magic, and apothecaries…PLEASE! Magical academia is also ALWAYS a fave.

When you see Cat requesting everything that has witch in the title try not to perceive her 👁👄👁

#MSWL #paranormalromance #WritingCommmunity #amquerying

#mswl Gilmore Girls town vibes with protagonists that are witches.
Think cozy setting, loving families, definitely a comfort read.

And witchy romcoms! Think THE EX HEX or PAYBACK’s A WITCH.

I’m looking for deep POV atmospheric witchy esq novels with romance as one of the plot points — think Wild is the Witch and Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin! If you have something like this please send it my way!

Hyper-specific I LOVE: Ensemble Casts; Found family; QPR (queerplatonic relationships); Time travel/multiverse jumping; witch covens as femme solidarity; Non-traditional sports (roller derby, parkour, pro wresting); Tabletop RPGs (and it doesn’t just have to be D&D!)

Dreaming of a witchy horror comedy YA novel with a killer ensemble... #mswl

Witches, vampires, fae - I’m a fan of them all. I’m equally interested in reinterpretations of magical creatures that play with convention or that are inspired by mythologies from around the world.

Send me your contemporary witches WITHOUT actual fantasy magical powers or who think they don’t have them. Think, The Craft before Sarah arrived. #MSWL

In Middle Grade, I'd love to see:
⚽️Fantasy inspired by myths, folklore, or legends
⚽️Historical that centers POC stories
⚽️Contemporary with an environmental bent
⚽️Horror with ghosts, creepy crawlies, and witches
⚽️Growing up in non-traditional settings
⚽️Earth-based sci-fi

🌟Evergreen themes: body positivity, self-love, coming-of-age, girls supporting girls, friendship and friendship breakups, sex positivity
🌟Ghosts, creepy crawlies, witches, and things that go bump in the night

Happy #MSWL Day! I’d love to see…

Generally fic that gets a little weird and makes me feel things (see Lisa Taddeo’s ANIMAL, Jessamine Chan’s THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD MOTHERS)

A YA crossover witchy or obsessive girlhood friendship

An unusual & chaotic contemp workplace romance

SPECULATIVE—I’d love to find adult fiction with light touches of magic such as magical realism, cozy fantasy, or magic-tinged rom coms. THE INHERITANCE OF ORQUÍDEA DIVINA, THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR WITCHES, THE EX HEX, and EMILY WILDE’S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAERIES. #MSWL

More specifics:

-Witches!

-Magical libraries

-Secrets and lies—and the aftermath when the truth comes out!

-Ensemble cast comedies like OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH (but not pirates)

-Stories that mix magic & mystery (HOTEL MAGNIFIQUE)

-Family bonds, especially sisters
