#MSWL Contemporary inspirational and/or sweet romance (think Hallmark). Category Romance as well as longer length. Shorter word count to fit Love Inspired, Love Inspired Suspense. If writing with these or Hallmark lines in mind, look at their submission guidelines for reference.

I would love to see a YA (or upper MG) that focuses on the teen activist movement. Whether contemporary or historical, I want to see honest portrayals of how teens organize and mobilize. #MSWL

I'm also looking for contemporary romance Amish stories 55k words. If you've got a complete manuscript lying around that fits this, send it my way. I'd give it priority in my reading pile.

I would also love contemporary Middle Grade novels with a strong emphasis on nature: animal stories, environmental themes, unusual settings. #MSWL

I'm definitely looking to add to my MG list! I love some contemp. MG that deals with tough issues, MG fantasy, and MG sci-fi (yes, sometimes even the space kind here). I'm SUPER picky about MG voice though, so just send it in and see what happens! =) Maybe I'll love it! #MSWL

I've been dying for a creepy, atmospheric contemporary southern gothic with poc characters. #MSWL so hard y'all!

Okay, up next is my #MSWL so that I can provide you with more books to love. Currently looking for female-centric romantic suspense, hilarious contemporary romances, flirty historicals, millennial anything, and urban fantasy (ya hate to see it)

Oops! #MSWL Day is tomorrow!
Well, at least I’m on brand. I’m always the early bird! 😊🐥📚

#MSWL I’d love to see some Latinx/Jewish contemporary YA... Or a retelling of Romeo & Juliet with the protagonists both devout but different religions... Or a great MG mystery that more Mo LeBeau and less Nancy Drew & ClueCrew.

"Super fun Contemporary YA. You know all your favorite swoon-worthy fanfics? I want YA fiction like that." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

#MSWL - Middle Grade! I'd love to find more: contemporary, fantasy, adventure, series, standalone, you name it!

I’d cut off my arm for a contemporary thriller/horror novel where the protagonist joins their high school/college’s soccer team and finds out it’s a cult #mswl

I am dying for more contemporary Southern stories. Please send them to me. #MSWL

"Young Adult involving fringe science in a contemporary setting." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

I’m still looking for this👇🏻and #ownvoices and #diversity too!!! #MSWL #amquerying #writingcommunity

Is anyone else into the show Let's Eat because I'd really love a #ownvoices #DV, contemporary #YA book with the same kind of style about a MC who just lives for food. Also if it could include some mouth-watering descriptions I would appreciate it. Cool thanks! #mswl

I've read some amazing contemporary YA lately. If you can comp HER ROYAL HIGHNESS by Rachel Hawkins, WILDER GIRLS by Rory Power, SERIOUS MOONLIGHT by Jenn Bennett, LET'S CALL IT A DOOMSDAY by Katie Henry and YOU'D BE MINE by Erin Hahn send your queries my way. #MSWL

*screams from rooftop*

Because I don’t have enough: I rep ADULT ROMANCE, HISTORICAL, SCI-FI, FANTASY. I rep MG CONTEMPORARY, HISTORICAL, SCI-FI, FANTASY. In addition to the YA Fantasy I have, I also rep YA CONTEMPORARY, SCI-FI, HISTORICAL, THRILLER/PARANORMAL! #MSWL please.

Listening to Steve Reich (thanks @TommyVierbuchen--this is amazing) is reminding me of my kookiest current #mswl: a TRICK MIRROR-like--fun! But brilliant! But crucially fun!--cultural crit book in appreciation of circularity and stasis in contemporary music/art/literature.

I truly adore royal romances as much as the next, but someone please send me a soapy, spite-filled YA contemporary version of The Other Boleyn Girl. Like, you want a Christmas prince/princess? You gotta fucking FIGHT for them. Possibly with your own sister #MSWL
