Still looking for romance, women's fiction, and cozy mystery BOOK proposals SET AT THE BEACH. If you've published in the genre, you don't need an agent. You just need a killer 3 - 5 pp double-spaced synopsis. DM me for email.

Rebecca Rodd @rebroddreads
But right now I would especially love to see:- anything set on an HBCU campus
- all of the magical realism
- mythological retellings
- romance/love stories (deep and profound and HARD or light and feel good)
- all the millennial joy and adulting hardships
Y'all I got to talk with @rebroddreads today and she is amazing. Definitely send her your stuff (so then she can sell it to me and we can all work together).
And I want everything in this list #MSWL

I am never without unannounced publishing secrets anymore, but this has been certainly one of the hardest to keep! So happy to finally share with the world that I've been promoted to ✨editor✨ 🥳🥳🥳 pic.twitter.com/9iX9Np3O6uAlso, seems like the perfect time to share my #MSWL at carolinaiortiz.com/manuscript-wis… Looking forward to seeing those submissions come in!
And agent colleagues, if it's been a minute since we've connected or have never had the chance before, I'm always up for a call or zoom coffee 😁
Editor
#MSWL Paranormal romance in the vein of Something’s Gotta Give. If you have anything in this realm, and it has HEAT, please query.

ALICE SPARKLY KAT ASTROLOGY @alicesparklykat
things i wanna see at bookstores:a robust horror section teeming with writers of color and translations of non-american titles
sci fi from places that had to reckon with the violence of modernity
guides for ppl left out of the labor market instead of a business section
I am looking for all these books too!! #mswl

Calling all smart, uplifting commercial fiction with a speculative slant that basically encapsulates how my heart grew watching the last season of The Good Place and somehow emotionally attaches me to a weirdly wonderful cast of characters like this elite crew. #MSWL

i want 📚 w unforgettable characters i'd follow to the ends of the 🌎; who make mistakes & are messy & we 💓 them thru all the ⬆️& ⬇️; who bring me back to those teen days when we felt like everything was on the line & one night of adventure could change our entire lives #mswl
Editor
i'm a sucker for: boarding school stories (the soapier the better); stories that take place over 24 hours; generational family stories; & stories that put BIPOC in places where we don't often get to see them (like boarding school, on vacation, the world of ballet, etc) #mswl
Editor
i love contemporary YA full of heart that plays with speculative elements in a way that hinges on the emotional connections between people.
i want stories that tackle weighty sociopolitical issues from an emotional, character-first POV, & with a thru-line of hope & joy #mswl
Editor
the best thing about YA is that high emotional stakes can come from something as simple as a first date, a text msg gone wrong, a misplaced love letter 💗--& i want to feel those stakes so much that they give me goosebumps & butterflies & tears #mswl
Editor
for disney-hyperion, give me ALL THE TROPES (seriously all of them) but make them feel ✨new✨ again
i want stories where BIPOC to take center stage when it comes to all the fake dating, graduation night, only one bed, epic road trip, one last summer, joy-filled tropes #mswl
Editor
im ALWAYS looking for ✨contemporary✨ stories that center BIPOC & lead w joy!!!!
for RRP i'd love stories w an emphasis on intersectionality, deeply tied to culture & identity--bonus points for stories that play with magic/supernatural/mythology in fresh, exciting ways #mswl
