Did we ever get rom-coms with speculative elements? Witches fake dating or student rivals to lovers in a lunar academy?#MSWL definitely looking for romcoms / romance with a sprinkling of magic

DIAL A FOR AUNTIES @thewritinghippo is my latest #MSWL obsession! It's the romcom I'd like to rep: dark AND funny; accessible AND intelligent. I also ๐ how it's the story of a dysfunctional family & a trad b-meets-g love story. Please query me if your work is a comp!

#MSWL Always want gritty, dark, sink-your-teeth-in PNR with the old-school feel of JR Ward or Lara Adrian, but also want to see your paranormal romcom. If you can make me laugh, cry, or sit on the edge of my seat while taking me on an escape from the ordinary, send it my way!

โAdult romcoms for millennial audiences with an element of social media.โ @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

YOUNG ADULT:
- BIPOC rom-coms, friend-coms, and coming-of-age stories not exclusively centered around POC trauma
- Sweeping historical fiction / magical realism, especially stories about non-white history
- Speculative thrillers ala The Thousandth Floor & We Were Liars

@HannahM_Writes No this is a GREAT question! When I say romcom, I'm using it as shorthand for a single-title romance novel, and I'm particularly interested in high-concept. I'm looking for three things: love story (platonic or romantic) central to the plot, HEA (can be traditional or not, but...Fantastic question from @HannahM_Writes: What do I mean when I say "romcom"? #AmAgenting #WritingCommunity #MSWL

3: Commercial, high-concept romcom. I want it to hit all the most satisfying beats, I want it voicey as heck, and I want it to be something that Iโm not already seeing on shelves. Give it to me in a new way or give me a really satisfying twist on a trope, and I......will be all over it. Would love to see non-idealized depictions of polyamory and t4t romance. Think: Talia Hibbert; DIAL A FOR AUNTIES, by Jesse Q. Sutano, the Heartstopper books by Alice Oseman (for adults).

Romance: I'm looking for contemporary romance and rom-coms with a fresh hook and voice, high concept, as well as clear chemistry. I don't currently have a favorite trope, but I always love tension of all sorts and lots of humor :)
