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!
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/emel…

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

Got a story that straddles the line between the frightening and the erotic? I wanna see it. Query me with your horror romances! #mswl

#MSWL Don't forget! @CityOwlPress/Mystic Owl does not publish YA, and all submissions must have romance.

#MSWL Anything paranormal, sci-fi, or fantasy WITH ROMANCE! (The hotter, the better.) Voice and skilled writing will always trump everything else, so if you have something I haven't asked for specifically, but the writing/voice is stellar, please send it anyway!

The top three things I'd love to see more of in my query inbox, in no particular order 📚 #MSWL

1. Romance of any subgenre, especially if it's queer or polyamorous
2. Contemporary fantasy with unique magic systems and lore
3. Gothic horror, particularly from marginalized voices

And women's fiction/romance with magical realism or a speculative twist, like You Were There Too and In Five Years.

My inbox is mostly fantasy right now, which is exciting! But this is your reminder that I'm still seeking romance, especially queer romance, romcoms, contemporary romance, and erotic romance💕#MSWL

If you'd like me to take a look at your book, query me: querymanager.com/query/saint

Adult

GN - all genres but especially horror, dark fantasy, or LGBTQ+

Novels - romance, contemporary, historical, and MAYBE fantasy. Super picky there. Really want horror like Babadook or Midnight Mass or Haunting of Hill House

#MSWL I'd also like to see a paranormal adventure romance set in a culture-rich location. Imagine if Tomb Raider was a cat shifter hunting magical relics. Or if Indiana Jones was a demon hunting the holy grail for other reasons...

Ok, if you have a book that could be described as A DEADLY EDUCATION meets A MARVELLOUS LIGHT (magicians, possibly magic school, gay, romantic, extremely fun to read), please send it my way ASAP, I am dying for this. #mswl

#MSWL

low stakes teen romance. give me contemporary life problems and teen drama tinted by culture and mental health issues, like in the netflix series never have i ever.

#MSWL Can I have a super sexy, atmospheric, gothic romance, please? Maybe even featuring gargoyles or another creature we don't usually see in them.

“Young Adult: historical fiction, LGBTQ+ romance, a story about a boy band, mysteries and thrillers, magical realism with gorgeous prose, novels-in-verse, experimental story structure.” @agentvicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

#mswl First, the fine print... I'm acquiring for BOTH @CityOwlPress and the #MysticOwlBooks imprint. Please check the requirements for each before submitting. ROMANCE is required for both! Link to query can be found in my profile!

#MSWL inspired by my fourth (possibly fifth) re-watch of A LITTLE CHAOS: cottagecore / goblincore gardening fantasy with lush historical detail and a sweet little romance
