Genre-blending narratives
-mysteries/suspense/thrillers set in more sci-fi or fantasy worlds
-speculative romance
-horror elements blended into SFF (cosmic horror-esque)
-surprise me!!

SFF
-lower SFF/accessible worldbuilding
-contemporary fantasy (whether light and fun or dark and spooky)
-magical academies/dark academia
-thought-provoking sci-fi
-near future or tech focused sci-fi (versus space operas)

YOUNG ADULT

In YA, I am open to a wide variety of genres. Specifically. I’m looking for:

Romance
-contemporary with a strong hook
-laugh-out-loud romcoms
-speculative twists (timeloops, vampires, magic, ghosts, etc.)

In Adult, I would particularly love a funny/satirical horror, a humorous, over-the-top mystery/thriller, or a locked room mystery in a spec fic setting.

I'm NOT typically the right fit for hist fic, military, police procedurals, high fantasy/sci-fi, dystopian, or literary fic.

I am also open to the following in Adult, though prefer if they have a strong romantic subplot:
-horror
-mystery (a la Knives Out)
-thriller/suspense
-women’s fiction
-grounded/accessible SFF

I am NOT typically the right fit for historical/regency, medical, Christmas, cowboy/western, or dark romances. I’m also not the right fit for police/detective love interests, and heavy/serious romantic thrillers or suspense.

-Adventure and/or heist roms (the more bonkers, the better)
-Contemporary romance/rom coms (though it needs to have a strong voice and strong hook)
-Nerdy/fandom romances (comic con, cosplay, fanart/fanfic, D&D, etc.)
-sports roms (particularly BIPOC and/or LGBTQ)

ADULT

I’m primarily looking for romance, specifically:

-Romance with a spec twist (witches, ghosts, magic, timeloops, love spells, soulmates, etc.)
-Romantasy (but the worldbuilding needs to feel very grounded and accessible with the focus more on the “rom” than the “fantasy”)

An updated #MSWL thread!

In general, I’m looking for Adult, YA, & MG fiction. I'm drawn to romance, horror, lower SFF, and genre blending & am always looking for more diverse perspectives. I am NOT right for erotica, non-fic, lit fic, or lower MG/chap books.

Specifics below.

I would like to see more queries in my Inbox that offer great escapism, both on the adult as on the YA side: horror, thrillers, mysteries, romance. #MSWL .

On Friday, July 26th I'm open for Smart Book Club Fiction, Upmarket Women’s Fiction for one week only. I’m looking for: propulsive storylines, rich characters, complex relationships, can have humor and romance (not straight RomComs). #MSWL

All on my #Mswl and website. 😀 Most areas of science fiction and fantasy, mythological/fairytale retellings, gothic horror, spec fiction...all the genre.

Not me wondering why this movie my grandma is watching is slaps like I don’t know damn well I love second-chance romance and middle-aged protagonists. Anyway, #MSWL
