-horror with social commentary as opposed to being just highly commercial. horror with romance. Diverse horror. This is in YA and Adult. #MSWL

-YA sports romance or contemporary romance. I really like almost all sports so pretty open here. Priority for sweet, light, romance plots, also queer and BIPOC stories. #MSWL

-Romantasy with some spice (a few scenes), though I'm usually more comfortable with longing and angst than actual spice. Priority here for outside of Europe, queer, and BIPOC. #MSWL

-Queer stories in every genre I'm opening to. I've sold most of the queer stories on my list and would love to find more.

-I have several cozy fantasy/science fiction on my list already so I'm looking for diverse cozy SFF this time. I'd love a queer cozy or BIPOC cozy fantasy or science fiction with a great romance. I usually prefer romance secondary to plot, not the whole plot. #MSWL

-I'm still looking for a fantasy or science fiction with a murder mystery plot. Should be more traditional or cozy mystery rather than a dark, crime mystery. Something light and fun with a speculative fiction setting or element.

-I'm still open to finding more self-published authors in the Adult market (SFF, Romantasy, or Mystery) who want help exploiting their retained sub-rights. Audio rights being at the top of that list. #MSWL

Since I'm opening to more queries on Friday, I'm starting a list of what I'd really love to find. Last time I opened I did sign two clients who matched with my advertised wish list so sharing does work! #MSWL

#YA : again, I’m looking for high concept stories with a strong hook, cozy fantasy with a strong voice and unforgettable characters, unique or fresh take on vampires or the eternal one trope. Cryptids? I want to believe.

Looking forward to reading your work!!

#MG : stories with a strong hook, fast-paced adventure, grounded fantasy, first crush or light romance—particularly on the hunt for stories by marginalized authors.

I’ll be opening to queries Feb 1-7 so thought I’d update my #mswl for a few things I’m particularly on the lookout for.

#PB : laugh out loud stories with a clear narrative arc, clever wordplay, twist endings, memorable characters. I’ll be open to both text only and author-illustrators this month.

This Valentine’s season, we’re choosing queries over romance. Because:
❌ Love is complicated.
✅ Querying is… also complicated.
🔥 But at least querying might love you back.
Tomorrow. Be ready. #WhoNeedsLoveWhenYouHaveQueries #mswl #rosecliffliterary

If your manuscript has so much as a hint of a whisper of a rumor of a vibe of Welcome to Night Vale and you haven’t queried me yet, what are you doing? #MSWL

💀 Some love stories are messy.
💌 Some books rewrite the rules.
🔥 Some heartbreaks deserve their own novel.
If that sounds like your manuscript, we need to talk.
Tomorrow.
