As much as I love the lighter ballroom romances, there’s a special place in my heart for historicals with darker characters and storylines from authors like Lorraine Heath & Kerrigan Byrne
 
#MSWL

Similarly, I would love to see a Gilded Age Historical Fiction submission exploring witchcraft and female family/friendship relationships—think Practical Magic meets The Social Graces
 
#MSWL

If you have a sweeping, extravagant historical family saga similar to Downton Abbey or Belgravia, but spanning the generations, send it my way! The drama, the romance, the heartbreak, the opulence—that’s what I’d love to see!
 
#MSWL

That brings me to Adult Horror*—I’m open as long as it includes:
 
1. Supernatural/Paranormal element
2. Some lighthearted content – comedy, romance, etc.
 
I want to be scared, but I need something fun to keep me from putting it down!
 
*Sci-Fi crossovers are not for me
#MSWL

In Adult Historical Fiction, I'd like to see:
 
- A pre-WWII, mainly Pre-20th century setting
-Multi-Generational storylines
-Previously underrepresented POVs
- Romantic undertones
- Female driven narratives
 
#MSWL

My top 2 Adult Romance #MSWL wishes would be:
 
1. Adventure romance like The Mummy or Romancing the Stone—super steamy & fun, w/ a hint of suspense or the supernatural
 
2. Contemporary romance series set in a big city w/ a small town vibe—think Friends meets Virgin River

Some favorite Adult Romance tropes would include:
 
- second chance romance
- only! one! bed!
- beauty and the beast re-telling (any fairytale/folklore/myth really)
*** bonus points for including a small, furry partner in crime 🐶🐱🐰
 
#MSWL

All! The! Romance!

I’m open to almost all* Adult Romance, w/ the following sub-genres as some personal favs: Historical, Suspense, & Paranormal. That being said, I'd love to read anything and everything in between!
 
*Sci-Fi & Inspirational are not a fit
#MSWL

Some general #MSWL – I am currently only looking for projects in the following Adult Fiction genres:
 
- Romance!
- Historical Fiction
- Horror

Hello #AmQuerying & #AmWriting Twitter, as of 1/1/23, I will officially be open to queries! I’m going to try my best to include all query directions and a running #MSWL on this thread, so be sure to keep an eye out!

"I read widely in YA, and enjoy just about every genre in it. I love moving contemporary reads, thrilling sci-fi, and lush fantasy."

if you take Mars to mean the Roman god of war, this is a hell of a #mswl vibe

After a lot of fiddling to pick just the right words to describe what I'd love to find, I've updated my #MSWL! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mich…

Would love to see a YA "Bad Sisters" or a Sarah Dessen-type novel with BIPOC main characters. Would also love an MG with some badass main characters. How about a PB with a crazy, funny twist at the end? #MSWL

💜WRITERS💜 No need to wait until the new year--I'm open to queries and would love to see your work. YA/MG/PB fiction and NF. Make me laugh, make me swoon, make me cry. BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled and other underrepresented creators please query! #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/shar…

"I love to read stories featuring ruthlessly ambitious women who will stop at nothing to get what they want."
