I will open again to queries on the 7th. I think I want to see more witches in my inbox. I always wanted a coven. THE SECRET CIRCLE and THE CRAFT made me think I would just find one in high school, and I was let down. #mswl

Very specific things I'd love to see
- more adult fantasy/romantasy (something very unique and off the wall and contemporary/grounded)
- MG and YA horror and mystery/thriller
- Academia
- humorous cozy fantasy
- sapphics!

Some more #MSWL items for me:
•Middle grade science fiction like Insignia by S.J. Kincaid, which I loved
•Epistolary fiction like Several People Are Typing by Calvin Kasulke
•Lyrical, literary, lush contemporary (or contemporary-ish) YA—again, Jandy Nelson comes to mind

And now for something completely different, I’ve been wanting to acquire a Western romance, a la Elsie Silver or Devney Perry. I’ve always loved the city-girl-goes-country trope, and Westerns are such a good opportunity for fish-out-of-water/opposites attract. #mswl

Greek myths are still going strong! I’d love a dark romance that incorporates Greek myth in some way. Think the Hades/Persephone saga by Scarlett St. Clair, or Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas. #mswl

I’m also still eagerly looking for the right romantasy project. The market is very saturated right now so it’s important to think about what makes your book stand out—maybe an x meets y layered hook, etc. #mswl

I’m really interested in acquiring dark and dark-ish romance right now. The theme of this #mswl is the morally gray hero, lol. In that vein, I’d love to see more mafia romance in my inbox.

Some #mswl admin:
• At Carina Press we accept both agented and unagented projects
• Our word count minimum is 50k; we don’t technically have a max but my personal preference is under 125k
Editor
Right now I am hungry to acquire for our Carina Press imprint, which is digital-first (and therefore targeting digital readers). There is a lot of crossover with print, though! #mswl 2/?

It’s been a long time, Twitter, but I’m going to do a 2024 (2025, in publishing, really) #mswl post! I am a senior editor at Harlequin, acquiring for digital and trade paperback imprints. 1/?

Have been seeing so many destiel posts on my tl this past week like fine…now I’m craving a book with the same SLOW slow burn—where we actually get to see the mc’s end up together—and tension those two had 😒 #mswl #SPNFamily
