A YA RomCom or MG story featuring Filipino leads would be lovely. #MSWL

I’ve decided to open my comment section up to any #amquerying writers who didn’t get to make the pitch window. Please pitch me beneath the original tweet if you think your story fits my #MSWL

Historical Fic #mswl: an unseen avenue into a popular historical moment (a job, a place, a person we haven't seen before giving new insight into a time we're maybe familiar with). Dual timeline, mystery/Gothic-leaning, female-driven all delicious bonuses

Queries reopen 12/1!

Absolutely horrifying in all the good ways. I realize that there is already a novel out there based on this island, but I'd love to see something similar. #MSWL tinyurl.com/ywddwfza

Sorry, I should clarify:

There should be kissing while the dagger is at the throat and the good one definitely decides to join the evil one and be their queen/king/monarch or imperial partner or whatever.

And there should be corruption sex.

#MSWL

Writers, if you have something that will fit this description, please query me! #WritingCommunity #amquerying #MSWL

You know that scene in Rings of Power where ****** is in *********'s head and it's the evil one being all join me and be my light etc?

Gimme that same energy but genderbent and/or queer.

Yes, thanks for mentioning, @AnikaDenise! Upper MG is absolutely at the top of my #mswl, so if any kidlit authors have non-genre MG manuscripts with protagonists who are 13 or 14 and in 8th grade, I’d love to consider them for Holiday House.

I’m loving all the holiday rom-coms coming out lately, and I would LOVE to see some set around very specific regional holidays?

IE: Today is Sweetest Day for midwesterners (I lived in Michigan for two years, it’s a thing!) and I’d love to see that in a rom-com. #MSWL

P.S. I am still looking for Ruby from Cold Mountain. 😬🙃 Gun slinging, sarcastic, Miss Independent who isn’t from the west?! Yes please. #mswl

The historical voice is a fine line to walk between what readers today expect historical to sound like, as well as what they actually can and will read fluently. So historical in all age ranges (MG, YA, and Adult) really need an outstanding voice that straddles the line! #mswl

I am still totally great with historical romance, but find it difficult when historical romance is written with too much of a historical voice. It doesn’t quite read fluently and easily to me when the author is purposely trying to sound accurately historical to the period. #mswl

With natural disaster or elemental elements that could be based off the climate crisis, but if you’re calling your book Cli-Fi or that it’s based around a deteriorating climate…I will unfortunately, probably, reject it. Even then, I’ll only be open for YA Sci-Fi at that. #mswl

As some have noticed, Sci Fi isn’t on my list at the moment. I’ll still accept it on the off chance I might love it, but I haven’t read a SF manuscript that I’ve fallen in love with yet. However, Sci-Fi/Fantasy is still game if it’s more fantasy than sci fi. #mswl
