If the project has been significantly structurally redone, I'd be open to seeing it again, but if it's polish on the pitch, I'll let my previous pass stand. I appreciate you asking!

Thank you for asking! If it's been significantly revised (structurally), I would be open to seeing it, but since it sounds like a polish, I'll let my previous pass stand.

If you got agent/editor interaction on your posts, I would HIGHLY suggest you screenshot/save the link to the post! Being able to remind folks in a year that they interacted with your post is invaluable, and you cant always rely on tech to keep the memory.

Maeve MacLysaght loves a little gall on gall @mmmlysaght.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

In Nonfiction: 💻 Fandom and nerd culture academia 🍬 The intersection of modern politics & pop culture 🦠 Weird histories, deep dives into oddball concepts 🚓 Ethical true crime & structural injustice

Maeve MacLysaght loves a little gall on gall @mmmlysaght.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

In YA: 🕵️ Hijinks, heists, and daring plots! 👠 Gender & sexuality as play and exploration, not trauma or parable 🎤 Voice for days, kids making 100% (in)correct KID choices 💬 Witty, complicated friend groups

140

Maeve MacLysaght loves a little gall on gall @mmmlysaght.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

In Horror: ⚰️ Indigenous horror, unexplored folklore of all countries and people ⛴️ Closed-set horror, like a cruise ship, a locked mall, a flooded island 👹 Tightly interwoven choice and plot; characters that drive the plot; rejecting puritanical moral codes 🌽 Ethel Cain & Hozier music

Maeve MacLysaght loves a little gall on gall @mmmlysaght.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

In Fantasy & Science Fiction: 🍷 Lush, decadent, slightly fallen worlds with horrible, sexy people 👺 I’m weak for a monster, a knight, a saint, or an alchemist 🏚️ A haunted house, a secret organization, a placid surface with fraught depths 🔮 A bargain, a deal with the devil, a curse

In Mystery: 🔎 I’m really looking for a charming sleuth with series potential! 💾 Monster/case of the week that builds to a greater plot 🏡 Harlan Coban pacing & intricacy, but not terrible to women 🐺 True Detective: Night Country, but if they were (correctly) gay

In Romantasy: ❤️‍🔥 ROMANCE COMES FIRST! If theres a monarchy, it exists to put the characters in a fraught marriage; magic exists to make them unbelievably sexy/horny/compromised 🌶️ High heat, high emotion, fast plot 🗡️ Toxic, horrible, sexy people. I want the reviews to be “WHAT DID I JUST READ”

Maeve MacLysaght loves a little gall on gall @mmmlysaght.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

In Romance: 💘 I want, most of all, to fall in love. Make me swoon like a Victorian maiden. 100/10 on the swoon scale. 🌸 Historical romance that explores secret societies, unspoken relationships 🗝️ Romance always has to have another genre for me, be that fantasy, horror, or mystery (or all three!)

Maeve MacLysaght loves a little gall on gall @mmmlysaght.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Overall, I am seeking: 🗡️ Strong, confident writing with a tinge of darkness 🎓 Compelling voice and convincing authority in fantastical worlds ⚡ Stories dialed up to 11, high genre 🚀 💌 Tropes, done creatively! 🍳 Stories that pull a little of column A and B 🍑 Romance and mystery in *everything*

A reminder that I think it's a great idea to set up an email address JUST for your submissions. This way, you won't be in the middle of dinner--or, worse, your birthday! As happened to a writer I know--and get a crushing rejection. Don't give rejections unlimited access to you. Let Gmail help.
