Also, if any teachers follow me, I’d like to find some non-fiction education/pedagogy/teaching guide books.

Surprise! I’m opening to queries November 1st-18th! While I love picture books, I have a lot of them on sub so I’m hoping to find:
-YA fantasy, paranormal, or horror (no gore!)
-Adult fantasy or thrillers
-MG mystery

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.

Clarifying once more:
It's not the enemies to lovers part of this that got me.
It's the reluctant allies to friends to heartbreaking betrayal
But ofc in my #MSWL version we go from betrayed and broken hearted to acceptance, lovers and sexy corruption arcs

Your run of the mill enemies to lovers story where the villain is obsessed with the heroine except this is the second iteration of the story; they were lovers before but she died in his arms so he went back in time and chose evil because maybe if she hates him, she’ll live.Love this. Enemies to lovers (& vice versa) is a trope I'm a huge sucker for, not to mention sympathetic villains (like Xu Wenwu) and heroes who are willing to be perceived as or who become villainous for noble reasons in the vein of The Dark Knight or Simon/Ice King #mswl

Thinking about my friend who wanted to explore her bisexuality and finally plucked up the courage to go to an ‘introduction to beavers’ workshop at the lesbian camp at a festival we were at, and it was an ecologist talking about beavers (the mammal) for 90 minutesIf she had a meet cute with a girl there for the very same reason I would be totally into this just saying #MSWL

GUYS! No matter how amazing it is, I DON'T ACQUIRE CONTEMPORARY. Only fantasy or sci-fi (or any sub genre thereof) romance. What I REALLY want is a High heat, under 75K words. Things I'd love to see:

On the horrors, an ensemble cast is a plus but not necessary. And I’m definitely interested in haunted house stories… or basically some good atmospheric horror where the setting might play a part of the horror. #mswl

Really looking for some great #PsychologicalThriller or #horror stories right now! Either adult or ya! Also, I’m on the lookout for some great romcoms! So in other words, I want you to spook me, but then I’ll laugh about it. 😉 #mswl

This is my new answer to the question “What book do you wish you worked on?” Hilarious, informative, very impressive bouncy text that begs to be sang, so clever and unexpected! #MSWL

Happy Halloween weekend! Before you hit that sugar high remember that I am reopening my query manager at QueryManager.com/2099. I am also prepping new pitches for 2023. I am a pop culture junkie nerd but appreciate grounded stories giving new voices a chance.
#MSWL is coming.

Aparna Verma | The Phoenix King coming soon! @Spirited_Gal
It’s come to my attention that some dislike the tale of Savitri bc it serves to be a “lesson” for Hindu women on how to be the perfect wife. I obviously disagree, so let me tell you the tale of Ruru & Priyamvada & the effect of colonization/patriarchy twitter.com/Spirited_Gal/s…Grateful to Aparna every time for telling it like it is.
Also #mswl again cuz duh
