I’ve been doing a whole re-watch of The Amazing Race with my mom and sister, and I would absolutely love to find a romance set on a competitive reality show like TAR or Survivor or even GBBO!

I’d LOVE to find the next Crimson Peak! The Gothic glamour and tragic romance—all wrapped up in a chilling ghost story!

I am SO here for all of your demonic adult horror submissions! Especially if there’s a team of demon-hunters to follow…And even more if that team of demon-hunters finds themselves in the middle of a romance…👀

I’m really looking for a historical female-driven warrior epic reminiscent of Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Stories—always ready to root for the unlikely heroine!

As much as I love the lighter ballroom romances, there’s a special place in my heart for historicals with darker characters and storylines from authors like Lorraine Heath & Kerrigan Byrne
#MSWL

Similarly, I would love to see a Gilded Age Historical Fiction submission exploring witchcraft and female family/friendship relationships—think Practical Magic meets The Social Graces

If you have a sweeping, extravagant historical family saga similar to Downton Abbey or Belgravia, but spanning the generations, send it my way! The drama, the romance, the heartbreak, the opulence—that’s what I’d love to see!

That brings me to Adult Horror*—I’m open as long as it includes:
1. Supernatural/Paranormal element
2. Some lighthearted content – comedy, romance, etc.
I want to be scared, but I need something fun to keep me from putting it down!
*Sci-Fi crossovers are not for me

In Adult Historical Fiction, I'd like to see:
- A pre-WWII, mainly Pre-20th century setting
-Multi-Generational storylines
-Previously underrepresented POVs
- Romantic undertones
- Female driven narratives

My top 2 Adult Romance #MSWL wishes would be:
1. Adventure romance like The Mummy or Romancing the Stone—super steamy & fun, w/ a hint of suspense or the supernatural
2. Contemporary romance series set in a big city w/ a small town vibe—think Friends meets Virgin River
Literary Agent
Some favorite Adult Romance tropes would include:
- second chance romance
- only! one! bed!
- beauty and the beast re-telling (any fairytale/folklore/myth really)
*** bonus points for including a small, furry partner in crime 🐶🐱🐰

Have been re-watching The Vampire Diaries while home and realizing how much I would love to see queries for an adult paranormal romance w/ a vampire hero as swoon-worthy as Damon during his Miss Mystic Falls dance with Elena #MSWL
Literary Agent
#MSWL Outside of romance, I'm especially interested in historical fiction with strong female leads focusing on the Pre-Industrial world. Think Bernard Cornwell, Elisabeth Storrs, Sharon Kay Penman...
