Would love to see more cozy mysteries! Whether it’s a traditional one a la Amanda Flower or something a bit more in the vein of DIAL A FOR AUNTIES.
I love bookish or cooking premises, something that is lightly paranormal (think witches or a friendly ghost.) and an animal companion!

#mswl 3. Eerie, creepy horror (haunting, paranormal, locked room/house/escape scenarios, and more. Psychological horror/thriller/suspense. In YA, would love a nice ensemble cast in an escape situation, but open to everything.

8/ HORROR: I'm new to this as a recovering scaredy-cat. Go easy on me with the gore and violence! But give me the psychological Lynchian vibes; unsettling, surreal, off-kilter. I'm also down for monsters & vampires with a unique hook. Paranormals like "Insidious," w/ blurred lines of reality.

5/ ROMANCE: The right balance of emotion/comedy. Friends or enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, second chances. Atmospheric settings. Lovable side characters and a fresh take on archetypal love stories. Open to speculative/paranormal romance with a touch of magic. No toxic romance tropes.

It's #MSWL Day!

I would do ANYTHING for an adult or NA romance—contemporary or paranormal—with a love interest who OOZES charm and charisma. I want irresistible flirts! Bring me your Henry Montagues, Ian Flannerys, Jesper Faheys, and Jace Waylands!

Anything with a complicated, decades-long (or even centuries long if Fantasy/Paranormal) lesbian situationship at the core of the story. Yes, I’m an Agatha All Along fan. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! One thing I'd love to see in my query box is a cohesive fantasy or urban fantasy heist novel with paranormal elements, an immersive world, and all the feels. YA/NA/Adult

The rest of my wishlist can be seen at my pinned post, along with my query link. Please don't pitch in replies!

Happy #MSWL BlueSky! I would love to connect on romance: romcoms, paranormal, suspense, something new but different; cozies; young adult and self-help that makes me think in a new way. Excited to see what's out here!

Some very specific wants for the new year in ya & mg - bubblegum horror w/ romance | deaf/hoh rep | celiac disease rep | ensemble casts | queernormative | jewish rep | contemporary gothic | diverse characters | paranormal #MSWL

For adults, I'm on the hunt for hooky commercial fiction and women's fiction, especially with a focus on friendship; thoughtful speculative fiction; swoon-worthy romantic comedies and paranormal romance; and a few accessible, grounded fantasy, romantasy, horror, and science fiction novels. #MSWL

Specific #MSWL request: Can somebody pleaaase send me a high-heat romantasy on the kinky side of things? Not dark. Just sex-positive and queer-friendly (gender essentialist language is a big no for me) high-heat in a fantasy/paranormal setting.

I have a lot of *hard* fantasy in YA so I'm still looking for ⤵️

Adult romantasy
Young adult horror, thriller/mystery, & paranormal (I like horror that lends to the aesthetic of horror but w/ whimsy opposed to gore (Wednesday, Beetlejuice, Haunted Mansion, R.L. Stine).

#MSWL

Romantasy is fine but the fantasy elements MUST be strong! 2. Horror: Psychological and paranormal horror in particular but will consider slashers. Love gothic horror. Generally not fazed by gory content.

(btw this doesn’t mean the genre has to be horror/paranormal although I’m certainly not opposed to that)

For cozy mysteries, give me a small town and a warm community. I usually gravitate towards bookstores and tea shops, or other general cozy feels here.

I would love to do more lightly paranormal cozies in the vein of Heather Blake or Amanda Flower.

I’m itching for more horror: gothic, eerie, paranormal. (Just not straight up gore) #mswl

I don't see enough queer monster romances or paranormal romances!! where are my vampire boyfriends and trans merpeople and werewolf lesbians? #mswl

#WritingCommunity
New on my #MSWL when I reopen is a paranormal mystery in the vein of @Ll20Victoria 's GHOST HUNTER series (Dang, I miss that series!) or @JulietBlackwell 's WITCHCRAFT MYSTERIES...but with a super-strong romantic will-they-or-won't-they sub plot.

I really want to see more YA Fantasy in my inbox. Romantic Fantasy, grounded/contemporary fantasy, paranormal fantasy. Light magic, spooky magic, bizarre magic. Dark, frothy and fun, ALL OF IT. #mswl
