Still looking for creators writing abolitionist works - been thinking a lot about what I'd like to represent in the adult and children's nonfiction space, and talking about inadequacies of our court and prison systems is very important to me as a human #mswlI know MOST about this from a US perspective, but open to any nationality or court/prison system. Really just want to talk about, think about, and learn about abolition. #mswl

I am SO here for all of your demonic adult horror submissions! Especially if there’s a team of demon-hunters to follow…And even more if that team of demon-hunters finds themselves in the middle of a romance…👀

That brings me to Adult Horror*—I’m open as long as it includes:
1. Supernatural/Paranormal element
2. Some lighthearted content – comedy, romance, etc.
I want to be scared, but I need something fun to keep me from putting it down!
*Sci-Fi crossovers are not for me
#MSWL
Literary Agent
In Adult Historical Fiction, I'd like to see:
- A pre-WWII, mainly Pre-20th century setting
-Multi-Generational storylines
-Previously underrepresented POVs
- Romantic undertones
- Female driven narratives

My top 2 Adult Romance #MSWL wishes would be:
1. Adventure romance like The Mummy or Romancing the Stone—super steamy & fun, w/ a hint of suspense or the supernatural
2. Contemporary romance series set in a big city w/ a small town vibe—think Friends meets Virgin River
Literary Agent
Some favorite Adult Romance tropes would include:
- second chance romance
- only! one! bed!
- beauty and the beast re-telling (any fairytale/folklore/myth really)
*** bonus points for including a small, furry partner in crime 🐶🐱🐰

*Sci-Fi & Inspirational are not a fit
