"I want unique, genre-blending romance novels. I wish I had worked on THE PLUS ONE by Sarah Archer or any of Roselle Lim’s breathtaking romantic contemporary fantasy novels. Give me an adult rom com in space, or with magic."

Enemies to lovers, but he actually kills her, and she comes back from the dead to kick his ass and then they fall in love?! Anyone??
Witches, magic, and apothecaries…PLEASE! Magical academia is also ALWAYS a fave.

Oh hey there, popping on here to say I have recently updated my #MSWL , details below! #Amquerying writers please send me your SFF and romance, and kids' books from PBs up to YA in any genre (but anything magical is a bonus!)

GENRES (2/2):
I want to see even more:
• Fantasy/sci-fi/speculative! (Yes, the whole spectrum, from magical realism to epic/high/hard)
• Myth/folklore!
• (Queer) romance!
• Mystery!
• Historical!

In both YA and Adult/NA I want plot forward books, generational stories, female-driven, complex families. Magical realism, especially when linked to Hispanic origins.

In YA I want rich world building with strong and clear magic system and am open to romance as central part of the plot. I love retellings of classic stories, realistic fiction with mystery, thriller, heist/spies and untrustworthy characters

Very excited to announce that I will be opening my Query Manager officially next week! A link to my MSWL is in my bio, but I will also be sharing a thread of some of the things I'm looking for here. Can't wait to start reading

I have fallen for all the Little Mermaid hype and now I am craving a mer fantasy. Give me Atlantis! Give me terrifying or sexy merpeople! Give me emotions so deep they make the ocean feel shallow! Send me all your water based magic books! I want to swim in them 🌊 #MSWL

Middle Grade: I'm really looking to build my MG list! I'm looking for a little bit of everything--fantasy, retellings, adventure stories, touches of magic, mysteries, spies!

I’m looking for fantasy where romance is the driving force, paired with vivid world-building, unusual magic systems, lush settings, and high-stake adventures. Hooky premise is a must. Think Carissa Broadbent’s TSatWoN – The Hunger Games with vampires? Yes, please!

I can't look at #MoodPitch today 😞 but I'm going to list a couple random #mswl wants I've been thinking abt lately:

🍩 contemp sff in the vein of LIGHT FROM UNCOMMON STARS: gorgeous, moving, queer, making magic out of the ordinary
🌜 a ferocious, heart pounding love story
1/3

Adult Romance w a hint of magic or a genre element. Think THE DEAD ROMANTICS, THE EX HEX, or ONE LAST STOP. #mswl

If you’ve written a romance with a TOUCH of magic…or horror…or a thriller element…I want to read it. Gimme your genre benders! #mswl
