While I’m still closed to unsolicited queries atm, I’m looking forward to seeing some pitches next week @SavvyAuthors ... looking for more #ownvoices submissions and also contemporary and/or historical romance. #mswl

#overheard two 20 somethings talking about #books yesterday. Readers still want more of the same - just different? I wonder what a #dystopian, #postapocalyptic #domestic #thriller might look like? #bookslike #mswl

I'm not sure how salable it would be...but I'd love to read a fictional biography of Sam Quint, from early childhood right up until the shark took him. #MSWL

Some ideas? How about:
- 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, but gay.
- a POC BRIDGET JONES DIARY
- a millennial SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE
- a neurodiverse YOU GOT MAIL
- a plus-size of FIRST 50 DATES (or any book because I need more plus-size characters) #mswl 3/3

Recent romances that I have loved and would like to see comps to:
- RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE
- THE BRIDE TEST
- THE RIGHT SWIPE
Basically, I want to see the next generation of romance. Millennials in romance, #ownvoices, underrepresented groups, and more. #MSWL 2/3

Soooo... there is a lack of romance in my box, and I would like to rectify that. #amquerying
If you have a romance novel you are querying, I would love to see it! #MSWL
I'm looking for romance books that almost cross over into contemporary fiction/women's fiction. 1/3

It's #SPOOKYSZN so here is an #mswl! I would really love to see a literary paranormal YA novel. Right now the only specters waking me up at night in a cold sweat are the emails I forgot to answer the day prior.

And also GRAPHIC NOVELS please. #MSWL

Courtesy of the BookEnds' Slack and @BookEndsJessica putting it in my end, I now need a #MSWL for a Gay MG Parent Trap style book.
And also kid entrepreneurs. Possibly underground sparkly slime business. Or a homecoming mum shop.

I feel really strongly about repping books that deal with teen grief.I was a teenager when my best friend was murdered. After that happened, it felt like no one knew how to talk to me, or maybe I didn’t know how to talk to them. I’m really not sure. #MSWL (1/?)
Either way, it was incredibly isolating, so I turned to story for comfort and an attempt at understanding.
I want to be able to provide that for other teens—a healthy space to grieve and feel and process what they’re going through. #MSWL (2/2)

Pretty much my only huge, overwhelming prose #MSWL right now is a manuscript that feels like ACCA-13 and I feel like for this to happen I will have to either wait a lifetime or one of my authors will surprise me next week with a completed MS made to order

Fake dating trope meets quinceañero w/ rich and nuanced family relationships alongside the YA romance please. #MSWL
