I'm still on the lookout for great rom-coms: enemies-to-lovers is my *favorite* trope, and I'm also more open to historical romance these days (and historical fiction in general).

Going into 2024, I would love to acquire clean (light romance/no or minimal cursing) YA fiction of any genre except fantasy. I am also seeking clean adult commerical romance/romcoms and compelling book club fiction. #MSWL #authorcommunity #amquerying

Bring me myth, fairytale, and classic retellings!

Bring me vibes!

Bring me:

Locked-room YA thrillers
Rivals-to-lovers tension-filled romcoms
Unbearably clever YA heroes
Romantasy with characters to die for
An MG novel full of magical creatures
Heists
Female friendships

#MSWL

When I think of joy and heart, romcoms always come to mind, and I'm craving them this year! I want charm, humor, strong internal conflicts, banter, yearning, and suave love interests! Think Sangu Mandanna, Cat Sebastian, Anita Kelly, Jeaniene Frost, and BEACH READ #MSWL

Just a reminder that I would looooove a rom com about rugby, tennis, or fencing #mswl

I was talking to an editor earlier today where I let it be known that I would love a poly rom com where they form an LLC to get tax benefits…so if you’ve written anything like that? Please send it to my inbox when I reopen. Thank yooooou. #mswl

Swoony adult romance & rom-coms like FUNNY STORY; THE VIEW WAS EXHAUSTING; GET A LIFE CHLOE BROWN; A LADY’S GUIDE TO FORTUNE HUNTING; and HONEY & SPICE. #MSWL

UPDATE!!! I'm open to queries again!!! Here's my updated #MSWL : https://manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/lynnette-novak/ Can't wait to see your projects!!! #WritingCommunity #amagenting #amquerying

Romance: although this is not my main jam, I do love romance with time travel, soulmates, past lives, reincarnation, second-chances, etc. Light spice. Romcoms are also great!

is anyone writing surfer rom coms/romances?? i feel like i never see any! #mswl

I'm not otherwise actively seeking rom-coms, but if you're writing one specifically about pro soccer/football, I wanna see. #MSWL

I'm excited to share an updated #MSWL 🧵 as we move towards 2024

Millennial rom-com: dating apps, zoom dates, and social media – it’s wild out there. I’d love a story that explores how to navigate dating/finding love as a 20 or 30 something. Millennial Bridget Jones please!

For romcoms, give me a cozy town (think Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls), witty banter, and some chemistry, and I’m all over it. I’m fond of enemies to lovers, rivals to lovers, and grumpy/sunshine.

I acquire a few genres between our two imprints, but to break it down:

Crooked Lane:
thrillers, historical mysteries, cozy mysteries, and horror.

Alcove Press:
historical fiction, magical realism, speculative fiction, romcoms, bookclub fiction, and romantasy.

#MSWL
