Okay, but seriously, give me romance submissions with Poe/Finn character dynamic vibes. Doesn’t have to be sci-fi! Queer or het, I love it all. #mswl

Big #MSWL here

I'm also often drawn to books with strong water elements. Moody lighthouse keepers! Sleepy coastal towns! Ship captains! Merpeople! If there's lots of fog and salt air, I'm likely to be intrigued. (This goes for both romance and mystery.) #MSWL

Also, according to my high school writing journal, one of my long-standing favorite things in romance is an extremely, explosively hot person who's deeply into their more average-looking love interest. #MSWL

Historical romance with protagonists of color and queer leads. More. Of. This. PLEASE. #MSWL

Give me something like the Crowley/Aziraphale pairing dynamic in Good Omens, but overt romance. (Yes, even more overt than that.) Doesn't have to be paranormal—I'm talking loose character types here. #MSWL

Magical realism is a thing I absolutely love. Think Practical Magic, but more romance. #MSWL

Some of my favorite romance tropes include enemies to lovers, marriage/relationship of convenience, and forced proximity. If the characters are annoyed by how into each other they are, the book is probably for me! #MSWL

Yes, yes, please! #MSWL

I'm super jonesing for more F/F romance in my submissions inbox right now, just FYI. #MSWL

👏 #MSWL 👏

I mean, big #MSWL to f/f astronaut romance.

Authors, please send me all your coffee shop romance submissions, for real. #MSWL

I still really want to see more vampire romances in my inbox. And not just your standard Lestat type—I want fresh, unusual perspectives and plots that make me sit up and take notice. #MSWL

Y'all, I'm really in the mood for some queer scifi romance, especially if it's somewhat light in tone. (Less BSG, more Firefly.) Spaceships, other worlds, fun times, please. #MSWL

Whoa whoa whoa, has there be a Victorian romance set around the Forty Elephants gang? Because I really need to read one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty_Ele… #mswl

You better submit this book to me, authors. #MSWL

You know, I love workplace romances, but I'm dying to see more submissions centered around a non-office workplace. Send me some! Both queer and het romances welcome. #MSWL

I want to edit a m/m historical romance so bad, y'all. It's been too long. #mswl

In terms of romantic pairings, I'm happy to read both straight & queer protagonists. Also love books with racial/religious diversity. #MSWL
