OK haven't updated my #MSWL but while I'm still open wanted to let yall know I'm being super picky about fantasy. If you have:

-grumpy FMC / golden retriever MMC

-MM written by a gay man

-FMC is actually popular and loved and falls

-Grounded fantasy in Asia or Africa

Gimme!

#MSWL True yearning and an intense emotional slow burn like “Heated Rivalry” by Rachel Reid or “Assistant to the Villain” by Hannah Nicole Maehrer. And yes, I think “HR” is still a slow burn love despite the quick physical intimacy.

#MSWL A YA that encapsulates the song “Who I’d Be” from Shrek the Musical, specifically the Rachel Zegler Miscast Version.

#MSWL A book akin to “The Apothecary Diaries.” Think June Hur—a historical mystery with a slow burn romance, preferably in an underrepresented location and culture.

#MSWL A YA thriller/mystery in the vein of Angeline Boulley with deep layers of character, story, and theme.

#MSWL A YA contemporary with new Deb Caletti vibes.

#MSWL An MG with “The Naturals” vibes for a younger reader. Standalone or standalone with series potential preferred.

#MSWL A relationship dynamic with Jack and Kim vibes from “Kickin' It.” Bonus if it’s an MG crush/first love story. If you know, you know.

#MSWL An NA or YA in the vein of “Whistleblower,” “Love, Off the Record,” or “Most Eligible” with hard-hitting investigative journalism and/or wild undercover antics. As a former college newspaper editor, I’d love a unique, never-been done story and complex, compelling characters.

Happy February! I’m still open to queries! Reposting my MSWL and the thread of some of my dream #MSWL items again. Yes, this thread is repeated and I don’t care. I look forward to reviewing all your submissions!

Just some #mswl vibes I’m feeling today - if you have a book like one of these, email me your query and first three chapters at aelliott@movabletm.com!

"Send me cozy mysteries like THE BOOK CLUB MURDERS by Leslie Nagel."

I’m super in the mood for a good mystery right now - send me all the upmarket mystery, especially if it’s got a speculative bent! #mswl

Now reopened to queries! Updated my #mswl with everything I’m looking for but the pic shows my number 1 type of story/genre. This does not exclude the rest of my MSWL tho! #writingcommunity

"I would love fantasies with unique magic systems, strong characters, and stories inspired by myth or folklore, particularly outside the Western canon."

The Last Party was dark and twisty, and I’d love to see something similar in my queue! #MSWL
