Why do men get all the fun of being dark, broody, and traumatized in Romance? 😀 (obvi a v general statement meant to express I want to see dark, broody, traumatized women in my Romance queries!) #mswl

I love Romance, but I also love all the ways we mess up and/or complicate our lives CHASING it. Also, chasing monogamy is boring me rn. I’d love to see a QUEER BIPOC coming-of-age/women’s fiction abt a fun-loving, bighearted dyke whose quest for love leads to selfish chaos. #mswl

Query Manager is live again!

Good time as any that I am looking for YA and Adult fiction, with an emphasis on Contemporary, Romance (but not necessarily rom-coms), and Horror! #mswl I want funny, sharp, and dark wit the most :)

A thread of recent faves in next tweet!

I am not dipping into #Pitmad today, but I am aggressively seeking Adult projects, particularly horror and domestic suspense thrillers (WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING, THE KILL CLUB; not CIA/FBI thrillers), & romance. I am hyper focused on seeking queer BIPOC writers & characters #mswl

I've been seeing a lot of fantasy in queries and I'd love contemporary in the YA & Adult space! Also, looking for more Women's Fiction, Domestic Suspense (think Dark Places), and Romance! Though less rom-com and more steamy - really, anything that's not too sweet! #mswl

I want a queer romance that feels like Crush Culture by Conan Gray. But with characters who are rough around the edges. I don’t like β€œsweet” or β€œnice” characters, I want ones with bite! #mswl

The song drinking games by Silver Sphere is exactly the kind of vibe I want in queer friendships and queer romances in YA and queer Adult romance #mswl (Can y’all tell by now that I want to read stories about β€œmisfit” friend groups????!??)

I am DYING for a second chance romance in YA or Adult. Exes or distanced lovers who never quite fit right when they were first together, whatever the reason! I love being able to see an old relationship with opened eyes as the new one grows. #mswl

Just look at these two! This scene broke me, completely. pic.twitter.com/vnuSuoIk8V

Seriously y’all I’m a romantic and I know I rant and rave about thrillers and horrors on here. But I’m absolute shit at dating and the only romance I’m getting is in books. So send me happy queer ones, please! #mswl
