Also, I need a lady knight book. Maybe in a contemporary? #MSWL #YA

Okay, I freaking love Ren Faires and I would love to see a Ren Faire contemporary YA #MSWL

I love mermaids and I would love to see a fun contemporary with professional mermaids! #MSWL

Ahead of opening to queries this week, I am going to retweet some of my #MSWL tweets. This month I am really looking to find more YA novels, particularly hoping to find a fantasy or more contemporary coming of age romances.

Mermaids, Take 2 #MSWL . This one is all fun, summer, contemporary vibes, but people who work as professional mermaids. If you watch MERPEOPLE on netflix, I want the fun, summer, YA version #MSWL

Professional Mermaids.

Show me other contemporary settings that are not always the everyday I am exposed to. #MSWL

But if we are going contemporary, I need to elevate it. Kit Frick is a forever comp, but if your book comps to TRULY DEVIOUS or FEMAL OF THE SPECIES, I would be here for it. #MSWL #YA

I want a cozy magic, witchy book. I want hygge but in a contemporary fantasy book. #MSWL

And final one for the night: cosplay medic heist/shenanigans/romance. I don't care. This is the contemporary blacksmith and I want to see it. #MSWL

If you are writing a YA contemporary romance, the vibe I seem to hit best is this for #MSWL *Some of my favorite books are not yet published, but if you have read @keliswrites then she is in this group too.

But you don't have to be an illustrator to give me graphic novels. I also love script only graphic novels #MSWL.

One thing I have noticed about my taste is I read for escape. I lean towards fantasy, or contemporary-elevated (which is not my regular every day).

So #MSWL ahead of reopening on Monday 6/1: contemporary Romances and rom-coms! I have been thinking about the manuscripts I have read lately and loved or the books I have read lately and loved, and this was what they all had in common: they were all romantic books. So gimme!!

Adding new #MSWL #VisualMSWL to my Pinterest board that reflect some of the contemporary vibes I want:

I cosign this #MSWL

#MSWL for this. I tend to like mine in the vein of @kitfrick and @LauraTNamey and @jf_smit and @kyriemccauley and @MindyMcGinnis. In case you need some examples. :)

And finally my evergreen #MSWL right now: mermaids. Evil mermaids. Magical realism mermaids. 13th Year Mermaids.

And Ren Faire contemporary.

And Spice Girls friendship break-up MG or YA.

Yes please #mswl

16. Also "We Are Never Getting Back Together" and "Love You Like Love Song" are totally two songs that should be played back to back over and over for inspiration on a contemporary about a couple who just can't seem to get their timing right. #MSWL

10. Also, reminder from my most epic Ren Faire trip: I kind of want a contemporary about working at a Ren Faire and the behind the drama. @angelinearly tweeted about feuds the other day, and I was curious about the hook-ups. So I feel like it could be a good mashup #MSWL.
