Reupping my #MSWL request for queer romantic suspense stories. If you are a writer or you know a writer who loves writing m/m or f/f pairings in a romantic suspense setting, please get in touch. My DMs are open or you can reply here and I'll answer what I can.

Agents and/or authors.

Please send me train thrillers like BULLET TRAIN, or something LEON-like with assassins or gangs.

Am always on the lookout for crime adjacent novels set in South Central LA, NYC, South Korea or Japan.

Or maybe some 90s Seattle-set grunge noir.
#MSWL

I downloaded Threads like everyone else but am not so sure what to do about it professionally since my Threads name is my personal Instagram account lol

Anyway, a new #MSWL for you! Young YA. Protagonists ages 13-15. Bonus points if illustrated and funny!

💚 ECO FICTION 💚
YA Climate, nature-heavy fantasy

💚 ANTICOLONIAL WORK 💚
In historical or fantasy, I want themes of condemnation of colonizers &/or Muslims reclaiming heritage

💚 REVISE & RESUBMIT 💚
Anyone with an R&R should know I am always open to re-queries.

(2/2)

I am closed to queries but will open to this specific #MSWL . Please DM me for a special link:

💚 MIDDLE-GRADE FANTASY 💚
Cozy, character-driven, magic-less (or magic-limited), second-world/high fantasy, mythic creatures (dragons etc)

Ex: Ella Enchanted, The Last Mapmaker
(1/2)

#mswl Gilmore Girls town vibes with protagonists that are witches.
Think cozy setting, loving families, definitely a comfort read.

And witchy romcoms! Think THE EX HEX or PAYBACK’s A WITCH.

I would love a picture book or novel involving the Public Universal Friend! #MSWL

Hey so, good opportunity to make it EXPLICITLY CLEAR that romances depicting non-wealthy (or even middle class) experiences are very important to me!!!

This is true in all genres, but romance gets a special call-out bc um, poor folks deserve swoony love stories too? Obv??

Here for the squish. nypost.com/2023/06/17/romance-novels-ditch-hunks-for-squishy-centered-men-but-fabio-calls-it-hogwash/ #mswl

Look y’all know I’m hungry for more deep sea horror, so sorry to these men, but uh #MSWL

While using this gif may be wishful thinking, more polyam characters please #mswl

Botanypunk and/or space botany. Plants are weird little guys and so should be the people using them to keep us alive in space #mswl #justafungi

on that subject, if the chain of command, a warrior's code or fealty is the reasons for repressing said feelings, I am even more there for it... #mswl

good or morally complex leaders making tough decisions in crises they did not make #mswl

Sex positive depictions of sex workers and/or the kind of soft power that women have often relied on in male dominated spaces #mswl

Soldier pairings. From the Sacred Band of Thebes to necromancer/cavalier partnerships. GIVE ME AN ARMY OF LOVERS said Phaedrus.

UNHEALTHY DYNAMICS. Seriously. Whatever romance Killing Eve, Hannibal and Interview with the Vampire had going on. #mswl

The fae being genuinely, terrifyingly fae. Bonus points for anything that would be soundtracked by Hozier or Florence #mswl

neurodivergent experiences – hard relate to Data and Murderbot but also more neurodivergent humans please? #mswl #ownvoices

“It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”

okay sure but for fiction I’ll take both, please.🌱

(They might be in love now. No take backs.)
