I didn't realize it until just this moment, but I desperately need a fresh, haunted, gothic take on Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. #MSWL

Finally, I would kill for a thoughtful new take on something like The Descent. I went caving in the Appalachians years ago, and I still have stress nightmares about when we decided to all turn our headlamps off to experience true darkness. Wow, what a terrible idea. #MSWL

Also, I'm going to climb very far out onto this limb and say I want a really intricate, cool, sexy merman book that feels like a modern fantasy romance. A Game of Fins.
Yeah, I said it. #MSWL

I'm in a serious mood for complicated New Adult or WF that has me huddled in a corner SOBBING. Hit me with all your angsty feels and desperate emotion! (But preferably find a way to end happily so I'm not devastated for weeks, thanks.) #MSWL
Editor
In the mood to find and acquire scorching hot romance and/or new adult with a really fun high concept hook. #MSWL

more books about characters in their late teens and early twenties!!!!! publishing thinks you turn 17 and disappear until you're 30#MSWL Especially high concept uplit with characters in their early to mid 20s.

I'd really love a ghostly horror story that is one part all those sea shanties we can't stop listening to, one part The Lighthouse, and a dash of The Terror. Even better if it's BIPOC and LGBTQIA+. #MSWL

I am VERY INTO the upcoming Kristen Stewart LGBTQIA+ Christmas movie and want to just drown myself in it. But I also want to read about bff Dan Levy finding love too; someone please give me a Dan Levy romcom. #MSWL

My #MSWL of the moment can be split into two camps: delightful cottagecore uplit or romcom with perhaps a VERY light magical touch or delightful cottagecore turned haunted horror: Midsommar meets The Invited.

To shake things up, I'd love to see more submissions for friends-to-lovers romance novels - especially full-length (90,000 word) contemporaries. Could be standalone or first in proposed series.#MSWL

YES. Friends-to-lovers is my everything. #MSWL

Looking for smart, funny & unabashedly geeky queer romcoms. Falling in love mid-RP? Theme park princesses finding each other? A heel and a face pretending to be rivals on the mat and lovers behind closed doors? Cosplayed Cap and Bucky searching for each other post-con? #MSWL

I made a movie that pays homage to films that inspired me & a generation w/ grit, guts and heart - DIE HARD, THE TOWERING INFERNO & THE FUGITIVE.One of the most anticipated movies of the summer.
Enjoy my new full length trailer for #SKYSCRAPER JULY 13. pic.twitter.com/Hb6ijg4h3F
