All lady Breakfast Club. #MSWL

We're looking for SUPER sweet romance, just like in our movies.
sex scenes - no
almost-sex scenes - no
"closed door" sex - no
people thinking about how much they want to have sex - no
kisses, dancing, snowball fights, cookie baking, walks on the beach - yes :)
#MSWL

#MSWL Same.

I’m just saying, with the right (truly distinctive!) narrative voice, I could be all in for a star-crossed anthropomorphic Uptown/Downtown Rat Love Story. #MSWL #FievalGoesUptown

Kira might disagree, but I absolutely want to know if a manuscript is similar to something on my #mswl since I only tweet out things I reallyreallyreally want to find.

I just updated my #MSWL profile with some new wishes! Check it out: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/carr…

I'm putting it out there: I must have more compelling immersive journalism! DON'T DISAPPOINT ME. #MSWL #journalism #Nonfiction

#MSWL? This plot took longer in MZB's Darkover but they lost contact and embraced magical feudalism, so 🤷🏽

#MSWL A diverse YA with the flavor of Dance Academy.

#MSWL I really like fiction about work/suffering under capitalism/surviving monotony #amquerying

#MSWL

YES this but for books and for all WOC. #MSWL

Things we avoid, even as backstory: rape, suicide, promiscuity, out-of-wedlock pregnancy, infidelity, drug addiction, abuse. #MSWL

A few things we'd love to see in contemporary romance:
a fun sense of humor;
Christmas, obviously;
summer weddings;
heroes who are genuinely good men;
series ideas about friends or siblings;
subplots about family members reconciling;
rescue dogs and/or cats.
