I’m loving all the holiday rom-coms coming out lately, and I would LOVE to see some set around very specific regional holidays?
IE: Today is Sweetest Day for midwesterners (I lived in Michigan for two years, it’s a thing!) and I’d love to see that in a rom-com. #MSWL

My kingdom for a rom-com in verse. 🥰 #MSWL
Literary Agent
Oh. Oh my.
One of my authors sent me an adult rom-com with splashes of ✨FANTASY and MAGIC✨.
Querying writers, please send me stuff like this. I want these surprising genre-blends so bad. #MSWL.

It begins! I'm open to queries again @PSLiterary!Here's my wishlist, detailing the kind of projects I'm looking for. I'm searching for genre-blending literary fiction, accessible sci-fi and fantasy, non-fiction of all kinds, and MG and YA.

Throwing this out there, I would LOVE to find some diverse, inclusive rom-coms in my agent life.
Especially anything that's genre-blending, like The Plus One by Sarah Archer (robot engineer builds a wedding date).
Some of my current clients are writing them. Gimme more. #MSWL

I started watching The Baker and the Beauty and just a quick note, I would die for an adult rom-com like this in my query box. #MSWL.
Literary Agent
I almost tweeted "YA rom-con" instead of "YA rom-com" and I officially want to read a YA contemporary novel about two teens planning a heist who OOPS also fall in love. #MSWL

Where's the YA author writing a rom-com in space? #MSWL
Give me the Nora Ephron quality swoons and smiles from @LaurenEMorrill's books mashed together with the flawless SFF world building from @SanguMandanna and @rhodabee.
It'll be weird. A marketing nightmare. Send it to me.

Don't forget, even when everything feels like it's on fire, the world still needs your playful rom-com novels about kissing. <3 #MSWL

Looking for quiet YA contemporary / rom-coms.
Do you write Nora Ephron style YA like @LaurenEMorrill? Let's laugh and cry together. #MSWL
