For a sense of my #mswl acquisition taste (besides books on my own list):

📚These Deathless Shores by P.H. Low
📚The Prospects by KT Hoffman
📚Psyche & Eros by Luna McNamara
📚Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
📚Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
📚Fake Dates & Mooncakes by Sher Lee

And perhaps a helpful anti-mswl (aka what I am not the right editor for):

❌ young adult books (Random House Canada only publishes adult fiction and non-fiction)
❌ hard science fiction (I read it personally, but can’t acquire it)
❌ horror (I am easily scared)

Bonus points for my #mswl include:

⏳ time travel
🔥 dragons
💖 happy endings
📕 YA crossover potential
🪝 early hooks (chapter one, page one)
📣 voice/character-driven plots
🟢 accessible worldbuilding
🖌️ character art

I realized I haven’t updated my #mswl in a while, so here’s what I’m currently on the hunt for:

🗡️ BIPOC romantasy
💜 queer contemporary romance (drown me in tropes!)
🐉 myth retellings with a twist
🇨🇦 Canadian authors
🧭 Dan Brown-esque mystery/thrillers

Murder at a Truse crime conventiom. Couch sleuths galore! Maybe pair with my Elle Woods/Dapne murder mystery #MSWL

I don't see enough queer monster romances or paranormal romances!! where are my vampire boyfriends and trans merpeople and werewolf lesbians? #mswl

craving something in an extremely isolated setting #mswl

Lisa loves finding picture books that surprise her with unexpected approaches, big emotions and voice-y writing. Find out more about her #MSWL below! @planningforsun corvisieroagency.com/lisa-gouldy.html

If your book features complex female friendships, secrets resurfacing, and can be comped to Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, I would love to see it!

Resharing my wishlist as I am actively looking for new clients 👇🏻 #mswl #amquerying #amwriting

Mark the date!! On 6/1/24 I will open to queries! #bipoc authors only this time. Stay tuned for an updated specific #MSWL .

Also #MSWL for Daphne from SCOOBY DOO or Elle Woods in a YA murder mystery.

#MSWL but I would love teens resistance: housing banned books in lockers/backpacks, making side hustles (hair braiding/slime/candy) underground, also standing up against unfair dress codes! You can combine with other elements of my #MSWL like homecoming mums!

Alrighty, that's all the graphics I have made right now. Remember, these can be MG or YA or in graphic novel form, and marginalized voices are welcome to run with these ideas as well. I actually think some of these might be better explored through those lens!

This next one is a #IYKYK type #MSWL : I love that British narration style--almost Neil Gaiman-esque feel--that features quirky shops. Id' love to see an MG or YA with elements like this.

Focused Artists CEO Kristina Sutton Lennon updated her #mswl today! Be on the lookout as she plans to open to queries for 1 week ONLY soon (🤫TBD in June 😉). Stay tuned!

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

Genre mashups! Like taking the beats from a romance or women's fiction, and bringing them to a fantasy world. Or the high fantasy tropes and taking them to comic con. This is just one example in the pic, but so many ways to play with this! #MSWL

Ren Faires! There is so much here, and in so many different angles. I love the escapism of the faires, the small artists business, but there is also elements to unpact! surprise me! #MSWL

Then we have poison gardens, herbalist vibes in a fantasy world. I love the idea that the same plants that can cure things can kill. #MSWL
