I'd love some paranormal where a shifter hero/heroine has to deal with initial transformation/figuring shit out on their own. #MSWL
Editor
Okay, #MSWL. I edit romance & I loooove virgin heroes. Any genre, even if I don't specify that I'm acquiring it. This is kind of My Thing.

Editor
I'm open to other great romance mss too, OF COURSE—go here to find out how to submit to me @CarinaPress : bit.ly/write4cp #MSWL
Editor
Spies and sleuths, please! I generally need more capers in my life. #MSWL
Editor
I'll always dig smalltown romance, but right now I REALLY want the opposite—escaping claustrophobic home town for the big city. #MSWL
Editor
Basically, a lot of my pairing preferences boil down to "I'm so annoyed that I'm so fucking in love with you." #MSWL
Editor
Another type of pairing I adore: cheerful, boyish galumphs matched with more serious/slightly uptight or neurotic partners. #MSWL
Editor
Definitely always looking for diverse romance, in all genres. POCs for sure, and also religious diversity. #MSWL
Editor
I miss editing contemporary Westerns. I'm particularly interested in rodeo themes, but actual working cowboys/cowgirls = yay too. #MSWL
Editor
Contemporary m/m based on this photo, pls. (Yes, it's Taylor Kitsch, but to clarify, I'm not looking for RPF.) #MSWL
Editor
I weirdly love a hero who's sort of a difficult person/grumpy jerk, but with a soft spot for his romantic partner. So give me that. #MSWL
Editor
I'd love to see more LGBT historicals in my inbox, esp. with high stakes and STRONG sexual tension. Take advantage of the time period! #MSWL
Editor
I'm not at all shy about how much I love a virgin hero. Open to any romance genre on this one, m/m or m/f. #MSWL
Editor
I have shockingly few shifters in my inbox. Werewolves, big cats, whatever—I want more. Bonus points for LGBT heroes/heroines. #MSWL
Editor
It's #MSWL day! Off and on I'll be tweeting my manuscript wishlist. If you'd like to submit to me at @CarinaPress: bit.ly/write4cp
Editor
Still might come up with more, but if any of my #MSWL tweets catch your eye, you can submit here: bit.ly/write4cp. And please do!
Editor
And why is there so little Western romance in my sub inbox? Rodeo themes especially, please! #MSWL
Editor
Shifters of unusual variety in paranormal romance! I love seeing the world-building of non-werewolf shifter communities. #MSWL
Editor
Contemporary romance featuring independent city girl heroines. Love when the "go back home/marry HS sweetheart" trope is dashed. #MSWL
