y’all, I’m also looking for romance with a speculative backdrop 💕 ✨ #mswl

I’m open for queries until the 15th and my #MSWL has changed.
I also included some recent reads that I’ve enjoyed this summer so you can get a feel for my reading tastes (I do not represent these titles).
note— I am NOT open to manuscripts written using AI.

More historical fic please! I'll take it all but would love more of the Roaring 20s, WWII, and the Swinging 60s in South/Central America & Europe settings. Open to #HR although I will warn that the genre is tough atm. But one day it could circle back so don't want to miss out on any new voices here

Lastly, I'd love to see books featuring characters with celiac disease (which I have)--especially in the rom-com space. How does one navigate kissing on a first date when your partner has had gluten? This also goes for other autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses. #MSWL

I'm always on the hunt for deeply romantic stories with a focus on a continuously building chemistry. #MSWL

"Send me romantasy with strong fantasy and romance elements – it needs to have solid worldbuilding and plot as well as off-the-charts chemistry."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

I want yearning and longing in my romantasy and romances #MSWL

Greyhaus Literary Agency IS actively acquiring romance and women's fiction. I would also love to work with existing Harlequin authors who are looking to expand their careers. Make sure to reach out! #MSWL

Before people start saying agents put up mswl to read the books they want (standard comments every time, especially when I list high heat or monster romance), I already have KU and plenty of books to read. This is for work.

I'd also love a really high heat romance. Especially if it has some sort of kink. Along the lines of Salacious Players Club.

All the Monster romance. Think Lillian Lark.

Consent and no abuse for any romance though.

#mswl in YA/NA I would LOVE something with the vibe of Crave or Wings of Blood. It can be dragons/ vampires/ fae/ werewolves/ gargoyles...anything. But it's the academia/ competition between species/ love interest vibe that I'm after.

I'm also after paranormal romance in general still.

For a YA/crossover readership (my initial focus), I'd particularly love to see original, immersive speculative and fantasy novels (especially if inspired by an unusual setting or underrepresented history, mythology or culture), horror, dystopian, romance and thrillers.

I’d love a queer romance with an autistic protagonist and/or love interest, as an actually autistic agent (and, apparently, alliteration aficionado). I loved Helen Hoang’s The Kiss Quotient! #MSWL

Forgot to post here too! I have a small handful of subs left in my inbox to read through and I just know this is going to be SO difficult. But, in other news, I’ve decided to open to queries! 🎉 send me all your horror, romance, MG, & more 🩷

"I'm seeking romance, literary, commercial, and suspense."

High heat contemporary romance and romantasy! (I’m always looking for low heat romance too, but I tend to see more of that in my inbox.) #MSWL
