I'm seeking: Adult: suspense/thrillers, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary romance, rom-com, & mysteries. YA: suspense/ thrillers, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries, & contemporary. MG: Horror, sci-fi, fantasy, contemporary, adventure, mysteries, & humor. #diversity #MSWL 1/2

Millennial friendship novels! #mswl

I'm closed to queries right now but when I open my #MSWL will be funny kidlit by writers of color. Especially love chapter books and early readers.

Skipping over to YA for the moment: A book that shines a light on rape culture and the injustices of it. It's not something to be
silent about, and yet with the consequences that can come along with it, so many people are.(Comp: SPEAK; EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR) #MSWL

Similarly, stories that feel like fairytales or folklore, but are completely brand new. #MSWL

ready to fist fight over this one. (love u, @hillaryjacobson) #mswl

I will never not love a good enemies to lovers or slow burn romance. Make me want your characters to get together don’t make it easy for them. #MSWL

#MSWL Still on the lookout for inventive fairytale or folklore retellings--especially stories that haven't been done often.

#MSWL Art forgery! Maybe a heist.

#MSWL I want a novel like WILDER GIRLS or SAWKILL GIRLS. Something creepy and off. Atmospheric.

#MSWL I need a good romance. I love falling in love with people falling in love. It doesn't have to be gooey, it can be enemies to lovers, "Fake dating", etc. But I want romance.

I want/need/love steampunk, cyberpunk, and virtual reality. Do you have AIs? Technology going wrong? Futuristic cities? A game that gets a little too lifelike?

Think Warcross by Marie Lu, Tarnished are the Stars by Rosiee Thor or Final Fantasy 7.

#MSWL

Body positive books!!! Where people don’t have to lose weight to have the lives they’ve always wanted. #MSWL

#MSWL mermaids. But like, Thirteenth Year mermaids. And atmospheric mermaid lore. Can be YA or MG. But it is probably quiet, and emotionally fraught.

#MSWL Contemporary inspirational and/or sweet romance (think Hallmark). Category Romance as well as longer length. Shorter word count to fit Love Inspired, Love Inspired Suspense. If writing with these or Hallmark lines in mind, look at their submission guidelines for reference.

And a couple of evergreen #MSWL for me: Fun and sexy rom-coms! Thrillers that surprise me and dissect genre norms (think SADIE that plays with the true-crime podcast)!

#Thrillers any age that send shivers to my toes. You can keep all the blood and gore but give me your dark and twisties — something that has me at the end of my seat #MSWL

I am a big reality TV fan and am searching for books that get the complex interpersonal dynamics right. Show me behind the scenes drama, the truth about on screen chemistry and dive into the nitty-gritty of the push and pull between reality and Reality. #MSWL

#MSWL YA or MG fantasy, sci-fi or realistic that deals with climate change.

In all ages and genres I am seriously hoping to see more books starring mc's with disabilities. #ownvoices especially encouraged. I want to see stories that show the full range of life and experiences--joy, accomplishments, ambition, sadness, friendship, love. #MSWL
