I often struggle to come up with very specific #MSWL suggestions (mostly I'm like "send me stuff, I'll know it when I see it!"), but this one just struck me. Someone send me THE SECRET HISTORY set at a summer camp. Must be positioned for an adult audience.

I am actively building my list right now. I’m looking for high concept contemporary romances, moving middle grade novels, and thrillers that feel teen #mswl

Can someone invent the homepunk genre? Like tea cozy mysteries, but full of, like, robots and wizards and stuff.I'm closed to subs right now, but when I am not #MSWL

Throwing this interesting history factoid out there, for anyone who would like to write me an f/f blacksmith romance:In 1851 14 girls were employed as apprentice blacksmiths in England and Wales.*
*That’s in contrast to 15,066 boys. Stats from the census. pic.twitter.com/5uIGIl9V0E
Y'all, I would DIE for this. Please please please write it #MSWL

Once again, I am opening my heart to horror, my first true love. Please give me psychological and creepy, gothic, thrillery, moody and atmospheric, dark. Think Lovecraft Country and Crimson Peak. Get my heart racing, make me hesitant to turn the page. But no gore. #MSWL

Just watched S2E1 of SNOWPIERCER - excited to see what they do with this season!
I love stories like this - claustrophobic settings, impossible decisions, time limits, and global stakes.
#MSWL books that make me feel like that! ^

Really hungry for some good contemporary romances right now. Romcom, serious, tortured, preferably with a slow burn romance. ♥️

The new book of my dreams is a Brooklyn 99-esque romance with all the things I love about that show (diversity, inclusion, humor, creativity, healthy relationships, etc., etc.) and no actual police work. I NEED IT RIGHT NOW! #MSWL

Hi all, back again with a #MSWL update.
I'd LOVE to get my YA romance list to match my adult romance list. @camilliemill and @chloe_liese have spoiled me rotten with inclusive, swoony romances.
For YA romance, I want all of the BIPOC rep, disability rep, and LGBTQIA+ rep 😍🤗

Looking for marginalized voices doing tarot decks! I’d love to publish a deck (or several). I have been scouring indie ones, but please send me tarot decks or oracle decks to pub! #MSWL

Something I would really, really like is a project (illustrated, perhaps?) that revolves around big-picture understanding regarding the ways our economy is set up to prize profit and growth over quality, inevitably resulting in either collapse or exploitation. #MSWLFor no reason at all, I'm reupping this #MSWL

And I remain eager to bring more disability and neurodiverse #ownvoices representation to romance, women’s fiction and YA contemporaries. #MSWL

I loved everything about Sylvie's Love on @PrimeVideo: the 50s Harlem setting, the music scene, the love story. It's made me eager to find more historical romance/women's fiction featuring BIPOC characters. #MSWL

I'd like to see something that's a cross between The Haunting of Brynn Wilder and Mexican Gothic. Women's fiction with a lush, gothic setting that's creepy, but doesn't cross quite as far into horror. #MSWL

I grew up watching soap operas, & loved You Had Me at Hola. Would love to see women's fiction based in world of soaps (can be behind the scenes/in front of camera/after leaving spotlight). Something w/ humor and heart but feels authentic & respectful of the industry. #MSWL
