#MSWL #ROMANCE: This should've been at the top. I'm dying for a really great #RomCom in the vein of Helen Hoang or Christina Lauren. I also am a sucker for an enemies to lovers trope. #Regency is my original love since my teens, so I'd love something in the vein of Julia Quinn

#MSWL #A #Mystery #Thriller #Suspense: I'm a huge fan of the following authors: Mary Kubica, Ruth Ware, B.A. Paris, Heather Gudenkauf, Charlaine Harris, Victoria Laurie and Juliet Blackwell (to name a few). I'd really love a #YA Mystery. Also love #ghost-y and #paranormal aspects

#MSWL #A #WomFic: In this genre, I need to you tomake me gasp, cry, or LOL in your opening pages. MAKE me want to turn the page. Make me impatient for your full submission. I love sibling relationships, family secrets, and quirky characters w/funny or serious storylines.

#MSWL Speaking of #Supernatural, I'm a huge fan of the series and think it would be fun to see something in this vein...a ghost hunters-like story in the vein of Victoria Laurie's Ghost Hunter Series. (Gosh, I loved those books!) and the TV show, Supernatural.

#MSWL #YA: I love RomComs and anything with a ghost-y or #supernatural quality. #LTBTQ+, #OwnVoices and #BIPOC authors are always welcome. I do still like issue-driven YA, but am looking for something super-edgy in this realm.

I was, frankly, horrified to encounter this book on Edelweiss+ this week, yet NYU Press is planning to print 15K of these babies next year. If you are writing the counterpoint to this anti-sex work fake news, I want it ASAP. #MSWL

It's been a minute since I've had a chance to do one of these visual #mswl tweets, but today's library haul seemed like the perfect excuse. If you're ready to query a project like one of these, I'd love to see it!

(Adult fiction)
Women's fiction - psychological thrillers (the darker the better) & mystery/suspense. Think Lifetime movies!

Paranormal romance & thrillers/suspense. School settings are a plus. Dark elements are welcomed!
