Currently acquiring: Fresh, high-concept contemporary romcoms. Also small town, contemporary cowboy romance. Single-title and category lengths. A diverse cast that reflects the world around us is a must. #MSWL entangledpublishing.submittable.com/submit/ ATTN: Heather

Currently acquiring: YA/NA thrillers w/ normal kids in danger and/or taboo subject matter.

Currently acquiring: Regency, Victorian, and Highlander historical romances full of humor, heart, and heat. I would love to see a diverse cast that includes POC, preferably #ownvoices, set in one of these time periods. #MSWL entangledpublishing.submittable.com/submit/ ATTN: Heather

Did you know Park Row publishes narrative nonfiction? I personally love female empowerment stories, emotional memoir, Mary Roach-style journalism, & interesting untold stories/people from history. Send me the next EDUCATED! #mswl

Done with lunch and have to leave Twitter now, but I'll leave you with this last #MSWL: an EPIC star-crossed love story! Can be enemies-to-lovers (think CRIER'S WAR or SERPENT & DOVE), kept-apart-by-circumstances, or just... slow-burning mutual pining because Feelings Are Hard

Speaking of which, if anyone sends me a YA that feels like HBO's GENTLEMAN JACK, it's possible I'll die of happiness #MSWL

Would also still love some fun, swashbuckly, queer/feminist/all of the above YA historical fiction (with or without magic) #MSWL

I'm dying to find a female Revenant -- Can be historical or contemporary, a gritty, hardcore, emotional, and suspenseful survival story. Give me all the bear scenes. #mswl

Still, always, forever dying for the one true magical school book of my heart. I would especially love to hear more from marginalized voices and POC authors on this subject. #MSWL

I always love books that play with structure, format, and narrative conventions. I'd love something that does for a YA or MG narrator what (stay with me) FLEABAG did for the fourth wall in TV. #MSWL

You'll have noticed that I've acquired a fair amount of queer YA lately and I am not! done! Always looking for more LGBTQ+ characters for both YA and MG audiences, and no, it does not have to be a rom-com! #MSWL

I'm dying for more fun, FUNNY, escapist YA with a killer one-sentence concept. The mood is 100% Red, White, & Royal Blue with younger characters. #MSWL

In MG, my list is fantasy-heavy, and, like, don't stop sending me MG fantasy because I love it--but I want to see more MG contemporary! Particularly one that will make me ugly cry on the train, and then carefully glue my heart back together. #MSWL

YA fantasy is evergreen, but what I want to see is where the genre is going next. A more contemporary direction, a new take on paranormal, twists and turns on some heavy-hitting elements like dragons, gods, monsters, the nature of story? Bring it to me!! #MSWL

A few other things I'd love to see in my inbox...
*MG novel that revolves around a big family (traditional or untrad) and plays with form the way Jane the Virgin did
*YA novel about a young tennis phenom (like Coco Gauff!)
*Interesting structures
*Subversive takes on tropes

Hi, #MSWL Day! Agents, as many of you know, I'm acquiring a range of YA and MG (open to fiction, narrative nonfiction, and graphic novels), and I'm still looking for a lot of the things I've tweeted about on this hashtag in the past! twitter.com/search?q=(%23M…
