I'm open to other great romance mss too, OF COURSE—go here to find out how to submit to me @CarinaPress : bit.ly/write4cp #MSWL

Spies and sleuths, please! I generally need more capers in my life. #MSWL
Editor
I'll always dig smalltown romance, but right now I REALLY want the opposite—escaping claustrophobic home town for the big city. #MSWL
Editor
Basically, a lot of my pairing preferences boil down to "I'm so annoyed that I'm so fucking in love with you." #MSWL
Editor
Another type of pairing I adore: cheerful, boyish galumphs matched with more serious/slightly uptight or neurotic partners. #MSWL
Editor
Definitely always looking for diverse romance, in all genres. POCs for sure, and also religious diversity. #MSWL
Editor
I miss editing contemporary Westerns. I'm particularly interested in rodeo themes, but actual working cowboys/cowgirls = yay too. #MSWL
Editor
Contemporary m/m based on this photo, pls. (Yes, it's Taylor Kitsch, but to clarify, I'm not looking for RPF.) #MSWL
Editor
I weirdly love a hero who's sort of a difficult person/grumpy jerk, but with a soft spot for his romantic partner. So give me that. #MSWL
Editor
I'd love to see more LGBT historicals in my inbox, esp. with high stakes and STRONG sexual tension. Take advantage of the time period! #MSWL
Editor
I'm not at all shy about how much I love a virgin hero. Open to any romance genre on this one, m/m or m/f. #MSWL
Editor
I have shockingly few shifters in my inbox. Werewolves, big cats, whatever—I want more. Bonus points for LGBT heroes/heroines. #MSWL
Editor
It's #MSWL day! Off and on I'll be tweeting my manuscript wishlist. If you'd like to submit to me at @CarinaPress: bit.ly/write4cp
Editor
Still might come up with more, but if any of my #MSWL tweets catch your eye, you can submit here: bit.ly/write4cp. And please do!
Editor
And why is there so little Western romance in my sub inbox? Rodeo themes especially, please! #MSWL
Editor
Shifters of unusual variety in paranormal romance! I love seeing the world-building of non-werewolf shifter communities. #MSWL
Editor
Contemporary romance featuring independent city girl heroines. Love when the "go back home/marry HS sweetheart" trope is dashed. #MSWL
