"I love witty, fast-paced dialogue in the vein of Emily Henry and Ali Hazelwood."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

you may also have seen such hits as LitRPG, Afrofuturism, and Folklore/Fairytale retellings on my official MSWL, and tbh literally all of the these and more can be combined with the above specific genres and I'd be down. I love genre crossovers and books that are more than face value!

nd ofc... KPOP MV COMPS!!

if you have a book with a storyline that has the vibes of any of these kpop mvs, I wanna see it!!

BIG MECH SUITS

so obviously this is a SF genre but legit I want something like Pacific Rim (the first movie not the terrible sequel) or Gurren Lagann.

GUNDAM is fun, but I'm looking for less political/military vibes and more kaiju/teamwork vibes, or even smth on building your own mech (Ironheart)

STEAMPUNK!! ⚙️

I've always been down for a good alternative sf take on our world, and tbh Dimension 20's Cloudward, Ho! has rekindled my love of this genre in a big way!

some comps include...
- Final Fantasy XII
- Atlantis
- Legend of Korra
- Bioshock
- Lies of P
- Dishonored

ROMANCE!! 💕

it's the one genre I've been looking to add to my list. some fave dynamics include

- the delinquent/A+ student
- black cat/golden retriever
- the one who thinks theyre a monster/the one who loves them anyway

ideally contemporary, but romance-driven sff or mystery is welcome too!

🧵 ok let's talk about what I'm looking for in queries and potential new clients going into Fall 2025

my queries will only be open for 2 weeks (Sept 1-14) but while they're open to all genres I usually accept, I'll be focusing on YA and Adult fiction and Graphic Novels in...

6/6 #mswl The above five posts are just scratching the surface. They’re what I’m looking hard for right now, but not all I’m looking for. Looking too for underrepresented authors & characters! See my full manuscript wishlist for all I want. Can’t wait to see what you all have!!

5/6 #mswl I’m also a huge scifi fan: space & stories grounded in reality; now or futuristic. Love space operas, stories on other planets, galaxy fights, alien encounters & they don’t have to be E.T.! See my full wishlist for all the details.

4/6 #mswl Love light to epic fantasy. Dragons, fae, elves! Trad fantasy setting or grounded in the real world (urban fantasies.) The Book of Doors – Gareth Brown is a fave! Fantasy is your imagination, so I don’t want to put many strictures on this one. Let me see what you have!

3/6 #mswl Horror! Atmospheric/eerie. Haunted houses, escapes, monsters, zombies, rage, body horror. Some faves: The Escape Room – Megan Goldin; Maeve Fly – CJ Leede; Hidden Pictures – Jason Rekulak; The Staircase in the Woods – Chuck Wendig; What Grows in the Dark – Jaq Evans.

2/6 #mswl Really looking for YA/NA/Adult Susp/Psych/Thrillers. Some ex: You Shouldn’t Have Come Here – Jeneva Rose; Everyone on This Train is a Suspect – Benjamin Stevenson; Everyone is Watching – Heather Gudenkauf; Little Secrets – Jennifer Hillier. Also some female rage!

1/6 #writers #writingcommunity #amquerying #amediting I’m reopening to queries on 8/25! Check out my fully updated #MSWL but here are some I’m really hungry for: YA/NA/Adult romances/WF. Spec, magical realism, paranormal, you name it. Check my #MSWL for specific titles I love.
