#MSWL: I am still starving for contemporary YA...

This sounds amazing! #MSWL

#mswl: be it contemp, fantasy, sci-fi, let's see sex positivity.

Give me a character whose sexual feelings are a crucial part of but not the entirety of her identity. I want characters who enjoy sex bc hey it feels good & sex scenes that don't necessarily have emotional import!

Updated my #MSWL page!! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/nata…

I’m randomly in the mood for super fluffy and romantic YA contemporary right now. #mswl

YA Contemporary where two black girls epically fall in love. Must have kissing. Definitely nothing tragic. #mswl

Would love to see more YA high fantasy and MG contemporary fantasy in my inbox right now. Blow me away with elaborate worlds and magic, please! #MSWL

Adult Contemporary/Romance Writers! I would like to sign a project that reads like Bridget Jones/Crazy Rich Asians/The Hating GAme--funny, fast paced, and clued in to social questions. #MSWL

Now that I'm thinking about Mercutio, the character who (fortunately briefly) made me want to be an actor, #MSWL for a contemp R&J YA with Mercutio as the protagonist. He's the perfect fictional teen AND uses his dying breath to make a bad pun. What's not to love?

I badly want your contemporary adult romance with heroes and/or heroines who are from marginalized communities. I know traditional romance publishing has not always been welcoming, and I respect authors who prefer to self-publish, but if you want to try, I want to try. #MSWL

Very actively looking for fiction by #actuallyautistic authors with autistic protagonists, especially in middle grade, especially contemporary fiction. #MSWL

A #MSWL from me: I would really LOVE to receive some really smart, funny Contemporary YA submissions. Books that make you laugh AND think. Along the lines of, i.e.: "I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE," or "WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI," or "THE LAKE EFFECT."

Really craving edgy, messy characters in my YA manuscripts - especially young women who make mistakes and fail and try and succeed. Send me some messy YA contemps, people!

Witness Protection without the suspense/danger angle would still be a really juicy story. A great conflict & roadblock to love when you can't tell your potential love who you really are. Would love to see this for Love Inspired (contemp, insp. romance, 55k words). #MSWL

OMG. This is awful!!! #SaveTheSharks If you have a shark-saving heroine in your contemporary romance MS, I'd like to see it. #MSWL #MarineBiologistHeroinesRock
