Dark romance? Like…real dark? Yes. Spicy sports romance? Extra points if it’s unhinged.
If your book has tension that makes people feral, Jess wants it. #MSWL

🖤 Tommy’s always here for crime novels with anti-heroes. Give him leads who should walk away but don’t. The ones who know better but can’t help themselves. Morally gray, ethically messy, impossible to forget. #MSWL

hi #queryingauthors ! happy to share that now that i'm at azantian, i've fully updated my #MSWL here:
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/larissa-melo-pienkowski/

🚨 Tommy Dean’s Spring #MSWL is here. 🚨 He’s looking for crime, mystery, suspense, and thrillers that pull him under and refuse to let go. High stakes. Big consequences. Characters with pasts that won’t stay buried.

Spring wishlist: Jessica wants thrillers that wreck you. Domestic suspense where the walls are closing in. Social thrillers that cut deep. Psychological horror that lingers. If your story makes readers question everything, send it. #MSWL

To be honest, I’m also just super open at the moment. I want to feel emotion. Look at erased stories. Fall in love deeply. Find the next beach read. Sob at a twist ending. Work on an epic series. Create standalone stories with interconnected characters. Absorb lush worlds.

I do a lot of romantasy, and I love it. But I need a high concept hook. Something unique. Pushing the mold. Experimenting with genre. A few of my own author’s books are here.

Fantasies with immersive, epic magic systems. Family dynasties. Incredibly well written villains who aren’t just evil for the sake of it. Something dark. Bloody. Ambitious. Not taking the high road. Fighting your oppressors. Stories that alter our belief in right and wrong

Shorter, kitschy, high concept books that celebrate adolescence for young readers. Books that speak to their big emotions and daydreams. Humorous and playful and adventurous and classic. Think of what media used to be like in the early 2000s-memorable, lovable, serialized

Love stories across all genres that feel timeless, escapist, all consuming, and maybe even a little unconventional. Partners who are fated in the stars, who make questionable choices for each other, who redefine how we say I love you.

Maybe it’s because of the state of the world, maybe it’s because I’m in my luteal phase. Whomst knows. But I’m very much looking for emotionally driven, thoughtful, painful stories. Books that make you feel and pain that resonates and evolves into hope. A book club contender

✨finger guns✨ Hi there, fiction writers and #amquerying I’m officially back open to queries!

Have a cool book? I like books. Have a rad idea for a series? Send it my way.

Check out below for some #mswl highlights on romance, fantasy, and everything between 🤍

Jess is craving contemporary historical (1960s-90s) with a voice. Think Demon Copperhead but for another era. Literary-leaning, immersive, and the kind of book people argue about. #MSWL

I want an academia book: dark, light, or cozy/whimsical #MSWL

Now wait a damn minute #mswl

#writers and #amquerying authors, I am itching for a horror story inspired by the evil eye, with a messy, high stakes friendship or sister dynamic. If you have something like that, please consider querying me!! #mswl

Would absolutely fall to my knees if someone comped anime series relating to JJK (particularly dark academia magic/alchemy elements with monsters & deep, enmeshed friendships that will destroy me- think GojoxGeto), Frieren, The Apothecary Diaries, Solo Levelling, etc. #MSWL
