It's Tuesday! Here's your #MSWL for today, from @BookEndsKim: "She’s eager to find big, sweeping love stories that will appeal to book club readers, and straddle the romance and women’s fiction markets."

Maybe I've been watching too much hallmark, but I am hungry for the anti-"career gal goes back home to a small town find herself" romance. Please send me your romance set in big cities, with our big charm, bigger antics and swoony (but yes sometimes grimy) settings! #mswl

#MSWL: I want FULL LENGTH curvy girl, body-positive romance. I’m sick of either not finding them or finding they’re only novellas. I want the steam, the heat, the heart-racing…all of it! I’m still closed to queries, but if you have one and are querying, DM me for a special link.

Oooohhhh!!!! #MSWL as soon as I reopen for queries!!!

Today's #MSWL pulls from literary agent Emily Forney's website: "In YA, [stories that] are highly romantic, glamorized, [with] rich world building that feels so satisfyingly developed." @EmilyKaitlinnn

And, if you know anything about me, you know queer romance is my jam. I want those first queer crushes, falling in love with your best friend (or your frenemy). I'm looking for queer joy here.

Here's an #MSWL for you (a thread)

I want a super self indulgent vampire romance. Take me back to the early 2000s. Very Queen of the Damned/Underworld movie vibes. Either prose of graphic novel. I want action and mystery and maybe conspiracy too.

Presents that balance high stakes and high emotion with a touch of humour (not rom-coms though!)

Romances for the above lines from authors from underrepresented communities

Attention-grabbing category romances for the Harlequin Presents, Medical, Historical and Romance lines!

bog bodies, the age of sail, westerns (centering BIPOC and/or queer characters only please), stories about sports teams (that are maybe haunted??), gothic romances, medieval pilgrimages and any combination thereof!

Watching An Astrological Guide for Broken Hearts on Netflix, and I would love to see a YA romance like this. #mswl

also please give me interracial romances that aren't just a bipoc with a white person. i'd love to see any other combination of cultures or even religions on the table!

romances with any combination of neurodivergence or sexuality are also high on my wishlist. show me characters who struggle in their identities and mental wellbeing who find each other in the chaos of themselves.

so to jump off of this tweet, here's a thread of a few things I love seeing in YA romance~! #MSWL

I'd love to see more urban fantasy/paranormal romance that doesn't rely on traditional government bureaucracy or law enforcement structures! I'm a little worn out on magical P.I.s and supernatural government agents. #MSWL

Last night I procrastinated so much on Actual Things (cleaning? life? etc) that I made myself a website 👀 taragonzalez.com

I just did a MASSIVE update to my #MSWL page to hopefully clear up some questions about what I'm looking for. Authors, if your book seems like a good fit, let's chat!

I'm actively looking for inspirational romantic suspense manuscripts 55k words for Love Inspired Suspense. Full of danger, intrigue & sweet romance. Fast paced. Danger from chapter 1. Villains with interesting goals and motivations. Heroes and heroines with strong conflict. #mswl
