#mswl when I open to queries in a few weeks Iā€™d be interested in a romcom action/ adventure. Especially if it involves treasure and islands or jungles. Iā€™m not officially open to romcoms so query me under the action/ adventure category and mention this mswl in the query.

"In rom coms, my favorite tropes are friends-to-lovers, fake dating, and second chance romanceā€”though I'm open to other tropes! If you have a new twist on these classic tropes, I'd love to take a look."

Iā€™m late to #MSWL day but: still desperately seeking a rom-com to sweep me off my feet (& onto a cushioned window seat, where I will read all day!). If your take on the genre is fresh & funny & swoony enough to make me forget everything on my calendar, then please submit to me!

In YA, Dark Academia with a haunting setting: creepy tunnels, secret societies, and characters with questionable motives/abilities šŸ°

Rom Com's šŸ’• Slow burning romances. Bonus points if it's with an out of school setting

Fantasy šŸŖ„ New spin on magic world and/or powers

Several of my YA romance writers are pivoting to adult and I am having a great time with it, so I'm opening to adult rom-coms for the first time! Still not the best fit for genre romance, but send me your funny, layered, high-concept mainstream rom-coms.

Iā€™d love to see a VIDA in the Rom Com genre. And a Romantasy with Spanglish peppered in the text. Or a grittier, less polished BOLD TYPE! #MSWL

And yes, give me romances and romcoms, but give me some substance outside of the romance itselfā€“ā€“increase the stakes with external conflicts and complex side characters. #MSWL
