i'm terrible at #MSWL because i usually don't know what i'm looking for until it lands in my inbox and i start reading and suddenly i'm halfway through and three hours have magically disappeared...but to try and be at least remotely helpful (!) i'm always on the lookout for new YA of all stripes, though i have a forever love of contemporary - a fresh take on an every day idea, a twist i haven't seen before, a tearjerker (ideally of the happy kind, but i'll take both) #MSWL

Looking for BIPOC and white LGBTQ+ contemporary and fantasy authors with strong hooks in the query and an uplifting vibe. YA and MG alike. Graphic novels too, please! #MSWL

I'm an idiot and forgot to state the obvious. I am the resident witch at Corvisiero, so if you have MS's (contemporary or otherwise) that deal in tarot, astrology, crystals, and any other kind of witchy/pagan things. Send them to me! #mswl

#MSWL. Would love to find some contemporary romances set in small towns and also romances involving dogs.

I'm always seeking category-length (55k words) inspirational contemporary romance and romantic suspense. Right now, I'm especially looking for Amish and/or romantic suspense stories. #MSWL

Currently acquiring: Fresh, high-concept contemporary romcoms. Also small town, contemporary cowboy romance. Single-title and category lengths. A diverse cast that reflects the world around us is a must. #MSWL entangledpublishing.submittable.com/submit/ ATTN: Heather

YA contemporary: I donβt want good girls, nice girls, nice kids. I want kids with buried secrets and selfish truths. Ones that try their best to be good but falter and make the wrong choices. Dark tone, snarky but not the shitty kind of egotistical wittiness. #mswlThis. ALLLLLLLLLLLL of this. ππππ #MSWL

Complicated or toxic friendships YA or A, contemporary or historical. Even fantasy. If your comp is The Favourite Iβd love to see it. #mswl

I'm dying to find a female Revenant -- Can be historical or contemporary, a gritty, hardcore, emotional, and suspenseful survival story. Give me all the bear scenes. #mswl

YA fantasy is evergreen, but what I want to see is where the genre is going next. A more contemporary direction, a new take on paranormal, twists and turns on some heavy-hitting elements like dragons, gods, monsters, the nature of story? Bring it to me!! #MSWLTHIS ππ½ππ½ A different take on fantasy #mswl

In MG, my list is fantasy-heavy, and, like, don't stop sending me MG fantasy because I love it--but I want to see more MG contemporary! Particularly one that will make me ugly cry on the train, and then carefully glue my heart back together. #MSWL
