one time I went to a support group for UFO abductees, just to see … there was one guy no one believed .. everyone else would be like “these blue men came for me” and the room would be like “so true bestie” but when that one guy said it they’d all roll their eyesLegit, I've been asking for an adult murder mystery romance JUST LIKE THIS for three years now #mswl

For YA, I'm more turning to Historical, Contemporary, and Contemporary Romance. Super selective on Fantasy and Paranormal right now, though would still love to see concepts on witches or ghosts (and vamps if unique!)

Adult
GN - all genres but especially horror, dark fantasy, or LGBTQ+
Novels - romance, contemporary, historical, and MAYBE fantasy. Super picky there. Really want horror like Babadook or Midnight Mass or Haunting of Hill House

Please don't forget those lovely poly romances! I'd love to see more in my box similar to @ZREllor's upcoming SILK FIRE or @MegLaTorre's The Cyborg Tinkerer! #MSWL

Throwing this interesting history factoid out there, for anyone who would like to write me an f/f blacksmith romance:In 1851 14 girls were employed as apprentice blacksmiths in England and Wales.*
*That’s in contrast to 15,066 boys. Stats from the census. pic.twitter.com/5uIGIl9V0E
Y'all, I would DIE for this. Please please please write it #MSWL

Who’s going to write and query me an historical f/f or f/nb romance? I want the hopeful, penniless spinster to swoon at the dusty riding boots of the embittered, lonely duchesse #MSWL(If you’ve got one, btw, you don’t have to wait for my QM to reopen. I want it 👀)
And who's going to let me bath or @RebeccaPodos for this??? #mswl
Literary Agent
In Adult, my main focus will be historical, contemporary romance, and select fantasy/paranormal. Adult is a harder sell for me, so it HAS to really be unique, new, and with strong voice/conflict

Updated my #MSWL! Be sure to take a look for 2020, when I open back up to queries! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kait…

For adult, I'd love a contemporary romance with humor. Maybe not full out Bridget Jones, but something that takes realistic elements and makes us giggle at them. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I wanna touch on contemporary romance real quick. I love cute awkwardness. I want gut-wrenching love (think Just One Day by @gayleforman). I need LGBTQ+ that isn't just "coming out" or "issue-driven". If you give me Andy Anderson, I'll love you forever #MSWL
Literary Agent
Here are the genres I'm open to: Fantasy (all kinds), Contemporary, Cont. Romance, select Romance, light Sci Fi, Magical Realism, Historical.
Upper MG, YA, and Adult only
I want LGBTQ+ and diverse characters, themes, and worlds. I want mental health and disability rep. #MSWL
Literary Agent
#MSWL Give me romance on an island. This is a recent interest. Away from cities, calm lifestyle (can be threatened by mainland, though). Hot sun, storms, clear water, and passion.
Literary Agent
#MSWL Love stories ala Gayle Forman or David Nicholls. All the feels, all the sobs, all the love. Love tropes like unrequited love, enemies/friends to lovers, or job passion romances, IF executed well.
Literary Agent
#MSWL I've noticed I like Romances with rivals. Whether falling for your opponent or bonding to defeat one, I like the challenges presented
Literary Agent
#MSWL #querytip adult erotic romance like Dangerous Beauty imdb.com/title/tt011889…
