I absolutely would love to see more #LGBTQ + stories in my queries next week. I like vegan characters. I'm not a fan of time travel stories or stories with circus settings. #MSWL

#MSWL day

1) Gayer, swoonier romance (gay, here, meaning any LGBTQ+ pairing that leans into the queerness of it)

2) Small stories with BIG personal stakes (e.g. TJ Klune esque), preferably with magic but not required if romance

Romance. I love romances and would love to see more (especially queer) romances in my inbox. YES, it has to end in a HEA or HFN--otherwise it's NOT a romance.
Would also love to see things that aren't enemies to lovers. Still open to it just would love to mix it up a little #MSWL

#mswl I still haven't signed a YA rom-com and I'd love to! Send me rom-coms please. I love fun, bantery romance with thoroughly teenage priorities, especially when grounded in queer or multicultural identities.

#mswl heists please! YA or adult, contemporary or fantasy settings. Bonus if the heist is intended to right a legal injustice in the vein of the show Leverage or the book Portrait of a Thief. Extra bonus if there's a lesbian protagonist.

OK haven't updated my #MSWL but while I'm still open wanted to let yall know I'm being super picky about fantasy. If you have:

-grumpy FMC / golden retriever MMC

-MM written by a gay man

-FMC is actually popular and loved and falls

-Grounded fantasy in Asia or Africa

Gimme!

#MSWL A YA or NA historical romance with a swoony love story and a strong hook in a setting that feels different. While regency England can be fun, I’d love something that hasn’t been done before. Bonus if it’s an LGBTQIA historical romance.
