I always ask for big emotions in MSs, and right now, I especially want joy. You can make it serious, but I want moments of levity too. Bring me laugh-out-loud humor, swoonworthy romance, delightful friendships, and lots of wonder. #MSWL

… deep MG with a strong message; sweeping YA fantasy; women’s fiction with characters I’d kill for; banter-filled contemporary romance; and meaningful and well-written nonfiction for any age. They’ll fill in some gaps on my list! #MSWL

For the new year, in addition to my forever #MSWL on the ArtHouse page, in 2023, I’m looking for some specifics!!:
- picture book nonfiction
- narrative nonfiction/memoirs (think MAID)
- middle grade National Treasure with non-founding father artifacts
- adult Black romance

5) Finally, do keep in mind my #mswl for queries. I really only accept romance & SFF, and so general contemporary fiction is not for me, even if it features the type of characters/relationships that I like.

Thank you all for your amazing queries, and I hope this helps some.

Open for queries! Traditional publishing as well as foreign rights.

Cosy horror + steamy romance is definitely on my #MSWL

I’d LOVE to find the next Crimson Peak! The Gothic glamour and tragic romance—all wrapped up in a chilling ghost story!
 
#MSWL

I am SO here for all of your demonic adult horror submissions! Especially if there’s a team of demon-hunters to follow…And even more if that team of demon-hunters finds themselves in the middle of a romance…👀
 
#MSWL

As much as I love the lighter ballroom romances, there’s a special place in my heart for historicals with darker characters and storylines from authors like Lorraine Heath & Kerrigan Byrne
 
#MSWL

If you have a sweeping, extravagant historical family saga similar to Downton Abbey or Belgravia, but spanning the generations, send it my way! The drama, the romance, the heartbreak, the opulence—that’s what I’d love to see!
 
#MSWL

That brings me to Adult Horror*—I’m open as long as it includes:
 
1. Supernatural/Paranormal element
2. Some lighthearted content – comedy, romance, etc.
 
I want to be scared, but I need something fun to keep me from putting it down!
 
*Sci-Fi crossovers are not for me
#MSWL

In Adult Historical Fiction, I'd like to see:
 
- A pre-WWII, mainly Pre-20th century setting
-Multi-Generational storylines
-Previously underrepresented POVs
- Romantic undertones
- Female driven narratives
 
#MSWL

My top 2 Adult Romance #MSWL wishes would be:
 
1. Adventure romance like The Mummy or Romancing the Stone—super steamy & fun, w/ a hint of suspense or the supernatural
 
2. Contemporary romance series set in a big city w/ a small town vibe—think Friends meets Virgin River

Some favorite Adult Romance tropes would include:
 
- second chance romance
- only! one! bed!
- beauty and the beast re-telling (any fairytale/folklore/myth really)
*** bonus points for including a small, furry partner in crime 🐶🐱🐰
 
#MSWL

All! The! Romance!

I’m open to almost all* Adult Romance, w/ the following sub-genres as some personal favs: Historical, Suspense, & Paranormal. That being said, I'd love to read anything and everything in between!
 
*Sci-Fi & Inspirational are not a fit
#MSWL

Some general #MSWL – I am currently only looking for projects in the following Adult Fiction genres:
 
- Romance!
- Historical Fiction
- Horror

So hear me out, a romance where there’s someone in the apartment complex that’s a matchmaker between the residents 🧐 #MSWL
