Happy #MSWL day! I'm currently acquiring for #HarlequinHeartwarming , a sweet contemporary romance series with a focus on family and community. Heartwarming books don’t have any swearing and they’ve got low levels of violence or sensuality, but they're not inspirational romance.

I've been reading Freida McFadden's The Crash, and would love a look at anything similar to it. #MSWL

I also would love a lesbian thriller that could be comped to Master of the House or Steadman's The Family Game. #MSWL

In Thrillers, I’m still looking for anything that could described as BIPOC Dan Brown. But I’m also generally on the look for a super fast-paced thriller with enormous stakes, anything about a normal person (no law enforcement or military) going against those in power. #MSWL

I’m still looking for a BIPOC vampire horror with social commentary. Anything in the vein of The Wicked and The Willing. #MSWL

I would especially love to find a sapphic romantasy on the fun, smutty side. Think Sierra Simone’s The Fae Queen’s Captive. #MSWL

I prefer my spice on the kinkier side, and I would really love to find a romantasy with consensual, sex-positive, queer-friendly BDSM. Authors with deep knowledge of kink beyond D/s and light dirty talking will definitively have me picking up that manuscript so fast. #MSWL

Anything with a complicated, decades-long (or even centuries long if Fantasy/Paranormal) lesbian situationship at the core of the story. Yes, I’m an Agatha All Along fan. #MSWL

A queer rival-to-lovers sports romance. #MSWL

A high-drama, high-stakes romance. Crash Landing on Love went triple-platinum at my house. #MSWL

#MSWL I'm really in the mood for anything that's character driven, thematically driven, with clever and smart protagonists in intriguing situations, a bit complex and political, where every word on the page has a purpose.

Happy #MSWL day! One thing I'd love to see in my query box is a cohesive fantasy or urban fantasy heist novel with paranormal elements, an immersive world, and all the feels. YA/NA/Adult

The rest of my wishlist can be seen at my pinned post, along with my query link. Please don't pitch in replies!

Finally made the move over here for #MSWL Day! Writers, give me your monsters—both literal and metaphorical. Give me characters who feel monstrous or *are* monsters! I especially love a thread of romance with someone who feels unlovable and someone who's devoted to them anyway. 😈 MG through Adult!
