Coming back to Twitter to say I really really want a football romance #mswl

Literary Agent
I am starved for a detective novel with a unique spin. This is what I want in life. #mswl

Literary Agent
I'd love to see more non-British historical romance in my inbox #MSWL

would read this book #mswl thecut.com/article/fake-a…

Literary Agent
Happy #MSWL day!
I really want more historical cozy mystery in my life since I have been reading it with a vengeance.

Literary Agent
I would kill (not really) for a fresh take on a procedural novel series. Give me your unlikely duos. Your psychics. Your grouchy old timers. But in a new way. #MSWL

Literary Agent
OK this is a specific one, but I want a book that feels like a Brandi Carlile song. #MSWL

Literary Agent
If you're at all unsure if your project is the right fit, try me with a query anyway. I am always looking for debuts that feel fresh. #MSWL

Literary Agent
I think I haven't mentioned what I'm looking for in a while: thrillers for adults and romance/rom-com for adults that have fresh hooks. Upmarket fiction from underrepresented perspectives. I am not open to expanding my children's list at the moment. #MSWL

Literary Agent
I'd love to see a covid front lines memoir (or realistic fiction) from a doctor or nurse #MSWL

Schitt's Creek is a romance novel.I should be more transparent: I’d kill to see the adult contemporary romance novel version of Schitt’s Creek in my inbox #MSWL

Literary Agent
There's a certain type of warm, comfortable fiction for adults that takes place in a bookstore (or similar environs) (like THE STORIED LIFE OF AJ FIKRY or anything by Jenny Colgan) that I'd love work on #MSWL

Literary Agent
I'd particularly like to see more thrillers of all sorts featuring BIPOC protagonists. (I have asked for this in the past and received great submissions, and I cannot wait to see even more.) #MSWL

Literary Agent
Adult commercial romance and adult thriller, please please please #MSWL

Literary Agent
Are there YA novels about the kids of anti-vaxxers? #MSWL

Literary Agent
I'd love to see more thrillers from BIPOC authors. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Ok fine I’d be into a new sexy vampire. I was super into True Blood. No shame in my game. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Why aren't there more rom-com-y books set at summer shares? #MSWL

Literary Agent
I'm craving things in my submissions that are joyful. Hard is everywhere. I want some light. #MSWL
