In upmarket fiction, I’m looking for precise angles:
> Period pieces with women breaking into lively professions (think TV or comedy a la I Love Lucy).
> Women in S.T.E.M
> Anything geeky but accessible
> Gender fluid, masc. of centre, and non-binary protagonists. #MSWL

But I also look for a “lean forward” plot. Whether a domestic mystery, family saga, upmarket fiction, or light-hearted romcom, send me your novels with that page-turning quality that keep me reading late into the night. #mswl

I'd love to see a women's/upmarket/rom com novel like Brittany Runs A Marathon, but with another (at first, seemingly impossible) goal. #MSWL

Rom-com set in a restaurant but not like a fancy one. A place where they have to wear horrible uniforms (with pieces of flair), and sing terrible birthday songs, and there's tons of back of the house hijinks #MSWL

Unlikely pairings for YA rom coms, please. Give us the couple no one expects will get together, and then make them happier than everyone (even if it takes awhile to get there). #MSWL

I'd love to see a women's fiction/rom com protagonist with the humor of Lilly Singh on A Little Late with Lilly Singh. #MSWL

Contemporary YA! Especially commercial and high concept YA that can be pitched as x meets y. Especially especially a rom com. The next TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE, a younger RED, WHITE, & ROYAL BLUE, etc. Diverse voices!

I am always looking for cozy mysteries with a female protagonist. I especially like unique themes. I am also looking for a Rom-Com that will keep me laughing. I love Amish Romances (or Mysteries) as well. Looking forward to reading your queries. blueridgeagency.com #MSWL

RomComs! More RomComs. But new twists on the meet cute and /or enemies to lovers trope. #MSWL

Still looking for my f/f or bi rom-com with an amazing hook! Add a dash of some kind of journey like 13 LITTLE BLUE ENVELOPES and I'm in! #MSWL
#MSWL Smart and sexy rom-coms (I want to laugh and fall in love!), epic family dramas, gritty and contemporary YA, true crime that reads like a suspense novel, anything food related (f and nf), pop science and history
