We see so many fictional antagonists whose origin stories are some variation on: orphaned, abused, rejected, betrayed, brainwashed, or simply "got greedy." I'd love some nuanced villains who arise out of mass sociopolitical trauma. #SFF #MSWL

Illustrated middle-grade stories! #mswl There are kids out there clamoring for them. Kids who find an all-text novel too scary. Kids who have outgrown chapter books but who aren't ready for a novel. They need those illustrated stories!

Another romance trope I love is forbidden romance—boss/subordinate, doctor/patient, lawyer/client, cop/suspect, patriot/rebel, journalist/source, priest/parishioner, aristocrat/commoner, feuding clans… #MSWL

My favorite romance tropes include forced proximity, enemies to lovers, fake engagement, marriage of convenience, reunion romance, stranded together, and secrets (secret agenda, secret royal, secret baby) #MSWL

I’m eager to acquire humorous manuscripts that are tightly written with snappy dialogue. A lighthearted cozy mystery series featuring a bantering duo. Romantic comedy or sexy romps, whether contemporary or set in the Regency/Victorian periods or the future. #MSWL

I’m a sucker for the great outdoors, so send me mystery, suspense & romance manuscripts set in grand landscapes, from mountains to deserts to jungles. Think wilderness guides, smoke jumpers, Alaskan bush pilots, wildlife biologists, Canadian mounties, mercenaries… #MSWL

I’d love to find some feel-good contemporary romance that has solid conflict between passionate main characters; stories with plenty of emotion but without heavy issues or angsty drama. #MSWL

I’m seeking fast-paced capers and heists with intricate, devilishly fun schemes, full of setbacks and plot twists. #MSWL

I’m looking for romantic suspense that has a fully developed romance as well as a high level of tension or action. Espionage, paramilitary, law enforcement heroes. Revenge themes. Action/adventure. A lighthearted Mr. & Mrs. Smith type of story. #MSWL

I’m acquiring whodunit mysteries: cozy #mystery, police procedurals, PIs. May have romantic elements and/or paranormal elements. I’m seeking strong hooks, compelling characters, unique settings, clever crime-solving. #MSWL

Just watched The Shape of Water and it just reiterated the fact that anything with the soul of a Guillermo Del Toro film is always at the top of my #MSWL.

Aw, hell, any reply to this starring a WOC is #MSWL

#MSWL

Ooh, and this one too--YA version. (It seems I want some kind of pirate-themed YA...?) #mswl

Ummm, #mswl--the YA version pls.

Um I am nerd garbage and this is #MSWL (but w a more inclusive, woke Lovecraft, pls)

I really want to read/acquire YA and MG featuring Brazilian and/or bicultural characters (I am a teensy bit biased). Cadê os meus brasileiros?!
#LatinX #LatinXPublishing #MSWL

I love this; also, #MSWL

#YA #MSWL but less about the therapist and more about a teen goin through it

Dynasty, but YA #MSWL
