I have been rereading a done of my favorite books and the one thing that I am loving is the romance. This is just a sampling of some I have loved, but I want to squee at the chemistry on the page #MSWL

#MSWL Summer. I love the idea of hijinx at an amusement park, beach days for days, free Slurpees at 7/11.
Summer always feels like the Cinderella moment when anything is possible.

#MSWL mermaids. I am looking for a lyrical, atmospheric mermaid as if Neil Gaiman wrote The Little Mermaid. But I don't want a retelling of The Little Mermaid. Give me something new that engages with mermaid myths

Okay we are doing an #MSWL. So first up: comps. If you have the hilarity of WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS, the romance and squee of BRIDGERTON, or the hijinx of BOB'S BURGERS I want it.

I have a ton of TV I love but it I am trying to think what I want that vibes.

"Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book—you name it, I'm here for it. Spook me!"

Anyone out there querying with a novel about Honor Lisle? #mswl

"I'm hungry for horror that leans on eerie, atmospheric, and unsettling. MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia will forever be a favorite in this space. I don't mind gore, but I'm typically not drawn to it."

I have a ton of political fantasy books in my inbox now, and while they are great fun, I am looking for other stuff too. I have great agents at my agency who like this sort of thing!

I’m also looking for some fun and light spooky MG vibes — like goosebumps meets ghost busters with a light adventure type theme? Super specific, I know. Any takers? 😂

I’m looking for deep POV atmospheric witchy esq novels with romance as one of the plot points — think Wild is the Witch and Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin! If you have something like this please send it my way!

Hey writers! I’m opening back up to queries tomorrow. I’ve switched up my MSWL a bit so I’m going to post it here! I’m also post some more specific things I’d love to see in my inbox 🥰 #writingcommunity #mswl #amquerying

Hey so, good opportunity to make it EXPLICITLY CLEAR that romances depicting non-wealthy (or even middle class) experiences are very important to me!!!

This is true in all genres, but romance gets a special call-out bc um, poor folks deserve swoony love stories too? Obv??

I am starved for a detective novel with a unique spin. This is what I want in life. #mswl
