2. Adult rom-com or contemporary romance set during the holidays—I love Christmas, but I’d love to see diverse holidays celebrated also.

Happy Wednesday! Horror is a HUGE want for my #MSWL when I reopen tomorrow. I am searching for smart, spooky, atmospheric stories in MG, YA, and adult.

“Calling all writers specializing in laughter and love! I’m now officially accepting submissions for adult rom coms. My sweet spot is big on the com, light to medium on the rom.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#MSWL: Gothic. Give me YA, Adult, anything that speaks to the atmosphere of du Maurier, Jackson, Hill, Purcell, or Waters. Looking for the perfect cross between feminine and terrifying.

Now what if that charge was magic or a different kind of energy? Young adult or adult #SFF with BIPOC, LGBTQ+ characters #MSWL

Thinking a little bit about #MSWL tonight! I'm actively seeking Adult SFF. I look for explosively different worlds, intricate politics,new/different presentations of magic,&sci fi that focuses on influence of tech rather than tech itself. Writing quality/originality matters most.

Always looking for this in MG, YA, or Adult. #SFF #BVM #MSWL

This is partly an adult #mswl & partly something that I can only wish for because the context of what comes later adds so much, but still, I want to read this book.

LAST CALL! Closing at midnight tonight! Still looking for...#MSWL: super fun paranormal like @JulietBlackwell or @Victoria_Laurie in #YA (no other YA, please). In #Adult: #RomCom #RegencyRom #Suspense like @BAParisAuthor. In #Romance: slow burn...make me yearn & hold my breath.

Me After Watching Teen Witch and all four Halloweentown movies: MORE WITCHES.

So Salem witches historical or contemporary MG/YA/Adult but make it Black. Also, BIPOC witches forever and ever. #MSWL

3. RomCom - Adult or YA. I want laugh out loud, swoony, sexy, joyful reads. I loved RWRB and The Hating Game on the Adult side, To All the Boys and Gentleman's Guide on the YA side. But really, I'm happy to read anything that's truly Rom AND Com. #mswl

2. Adult thrillers/suspense: I like stories w/ top notch characterization + a slow burn, and also stories that are gripping page turners that I finish in one sitting. A few favorites: Ruth Ware, Rhiannon Navin, Wendy Heard, Gillian Flynn, Danya Kukafka, Oyinkan Braithwaite #mswl

1. Adult Horror: I want books that have something to SAY--about our present, our past, our future. Feminist/anti-colonialist stories are close to my heart, but I'm open to anything that can be described as "smart + terrifying." I'm also open to grounded fantasy w/ horror elements

OH! And one more thing I'd love to have! #MSWL: Adult (and for THIS ONLY for right now) YA stories with ghosts and ghost hunters in the vein of @Victoria_Laurie's Ghost Hunter series!

2 more days! #MSWL: Adult Romance--RomCom, Contemp, Regency, American Historical, Paranormal. Favorite authors: @RachVD @Handbagjunkie #JuliaQuinn @mstessabailey @LaurenBlakely3 @courtneymilan @KarenMMoning (Highlander Series...still need to read Fever Series), @HHoangWrites

I'M OPEN TO ADULT QUERIES, today through 9/16. See thepurcellagency.com & follow submission guidelines. ADULT ONLY #Romance #WomensFiction & #Suspense. NO YA THIS TIME, but watch this space.

"Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book-- you name it, I'm here for it." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm always in the mood for a ghost story! A fresh take on classic themes (I am a sucker for haunted houses) for adults, spunky kids in spooky houses for MG, nonfiction how-tos: how to build a haunted house, Halloween how-tos, crafty Halloween. #MSWL QueryManager.com/Stacey3Seas

If I missed your #Pitmad for #a #ya #cr #r #rs, rom-coms too, and you match my #MSWL, feel free to check my post this morning on how to query. Welcome #POC and #BVM. Also dystopian, or post-apoc. 😊
