I still have not found my FLUFFY, YEARNING AND TENSION-FILLED, LIGHTHEARTED YA contemporary romance 🥺🥺🥺.

PLEASE LET THIS BE THE YEAR😭😭#mswl

If I’m going to spend time inside someone’s head, I want them to be messy and conflicted. I want them to feel envy, greed, shame. I want them to be manipulative and deceitful. I want them their inner life to be at odds with their public persona. I do not want them to be nice.

I am intrigued by characters who want to be good people, but keep making the wrong choices (habits are hard to break, esp if it comes from a place of trauma). I appreciate characters who are, in fact, good people, but who can’t see it (maybe they are hiding a shameful secret?).

A conclusion: I don’t like reading about nice characters. By ‘nice’ I mean characters who genuinely think they’re good people. I am drawn to characters who have to pretend to be nice to survive (especially if they’ve learned it the hard way). #MSWL #WritingCommunity

#MSWL

I’m feeling inspired. Send me your stories with Black witches! I wanna read them. #MSWL

Watching Anastasia, one of my all-time favorites. Give me a romance that feels like Anya and Dimitri’s! #MSWL

Send me your sexy ownvoices Jewish villains in 2921 #MSWL

MSWL for 2021: AKA what I’d like to see in my agent inbox! #mswl scribblesandwanderlust.com/2021/01/01/msw…

Hello 2021! Starting off the year with a new pinned tweet. Things to note about me:

- agented subs only
- pls don’t pitch me on Twitter
- I’m open to adult & YA subs, but I have a preference for adult
- I almost exclusively edit horror

My #MSWL is here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kris…

I do some nonfiction!

I love the mind, body, spirit section, but geared towards spirit. Tarot cards, astrology, crystals, mysticism, candles, witches are all my jam. Marginalized voices are being recognized in this category, so I’d love to see your projects! #MSWL

For Adult, send me your romcoms or category romances! I’m also looking for big, juicy love stories. I live for the feels. I love women’s fiction on the light and fluffy side. Family stories, etc. Those are my kinds of stories #MSWL

For YA horror, I can do more on the psychological horror side. Is this real? Does this exist? As always, marginalized voices welcome! #MSWL

For YA contemp, I’m looking for the light and fluffy kind! I’d love to see diverse romcoms! #MSWL

I’m looking for YA fantasy that is ownvoices/by marginalized voices! MENA authors, Black authors, queer authors, send me some! I love commercial fiction that’s character driven, with voice that drips off the page, high concept and tightly plotted. I’m an avid fantasy reader #MSWL

For Latinx voices, I mean all Latinx voices: Afro-Latinx, Indigenous, etc.; every one of your stories are welcome in my inbox, if you think I might be a good fit. I want to shepherd more of our stories out there #MSWL

I am actively looking for Latinx voices.

For YA, I would adore a fantasy (or all of them), magical realism and romcoms. I like the light and fluffy in contemporary.

For adult, historical romances, romcoms, WF focused on relationships and magical realism. Commercial fic #MSWL

As it’s 2021, here’s a new thread of my #MSWL! Of note:

- own voices and stories by marginalized voices are always welcome

- I do not accept pitches or subs on Twitter

- agented subs only

I’m looking to actively build my list, so please consider me! I do YA and Adult

In nonfiction I’m desperate to make more women & BIPOC experts THE voice in business & personal development. #mswl

More books exploring other countries & experience ala MY SISTER THE SERIAL KILLER or A WOMAN IS NO MAN or CRAZY RICH ASIANS. #mswl
