I’d really love to see more cozy and warm contemporary fantasy projects, full of whimsy and fun, in my query inbox. It can be adult, YA, or crossover.I’m a bit burned out on the dark and heavy stuff right now. Basically, looking for a hug in book form. #mswl

Did we ever get rom-coms with speculative elements? Witches fake dating or student rivals to lovers in a lunar academy?#MSWL definitely looking for romcoms / romance with a sprinkling of magic

Over the pandemic, I've gotten close with the daughter of one of my mother's Indian Auntie Frenemies, and in breaking the news to her today, I'm getting a deluge of "DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DID TEN YEARS AGO" and no one told me I accidentally kickstarted Petty Auntie World War IIi want to read a book about Indian Auntie Frenemies please make this happen #MSWL
