I want romantasy that reminds me of the line in the Gary Oldman Dracula where he says ‘I’ve crossed oceans of time to find you’ #MSWL

I’m particularly in the mood for astrology-inspired fantasy, courtly intrigue, a witchy romance, myth & fairytale retellings, sapphic romantasy, undercover assassins, life or death trials and anything dark academia...

Spice or no spice? 🌶️ I’m open to all romance but make it intimate and real and let’s have a good slow burn first. I want the leads to be pining and for that tension to be unbearable. It’s not an exact science but the 60 percent mark is a good place for sparks to start flying!

I’m looking for fantasy where romance is the driving force, paired with vivid world-building, unusual magic systems, lush settings, and high-stake adventures. Hooky premise is a must. Think Carissa Broadbent’s TSatWoN – The Hunger Games with vampires? Yes, please!

We're so excited to announce that this Friday we will be holding our first ever #pitchingevent, focusing on #romantasy, which will run for one week! 🐉💖 @alicecaprio94 will be sharing her #MSWL with you all, and if she likes your pitch we'll request a sample of your work.

#MSWL this sounds really cool. Would love to rep something like this. I think a villain that feels redeemable but just approaches that edge of redemption and then pulls back each time up until the end would be great.

I like romance, but I especially love when the romance plot is super layered and there are other things going on. 💖

Domestic/social thrillers with a strong voice. 📝

Anything that tackles capitalism in an unexpected way. 💰

I did a little #MSWL refresh. In addition to my forever loves MG and YA, I'm aggressively seeking occult nonfiction and Adult SFF and contemporary romance!

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kell…

I’m also looking for speculative romance in general, whether it has a big SFF element like THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY and WINTER’S ORBIT or a romance with speculative elements like WITCHFUL THINKING and THE EX HEX.

Send me your FANTASY ROMANCE! I’m looking for equal strength in the fantasy and romance aspects – it needs to have solid plot and worldbuilding alongside off-the-charts chemistry. I would love to see more queer (especially sapphic) romantasy!

I want to get lost in a complex, emotion-driven romance that digs deep into themes of love and desire, in the vein of Tiffany Reisz and S.T. Gibson.

I’d love to see more romance featuring queer (especially aro/ace-spec) and autistic characters, whether those are central to the plot or just character traits. Talia Hibbert and Chloe Liese are the blueprint.

Give me ALL THE ROMANCE! I’m particularly interested in contemporary and fantasy romance, but I’m open to any subgenre, including historical.

I’m a big fan of unlikely pairings, sharp Emily Henry-esque dialogue, and epistolary elements.

HEA/HFN required.

Hey, so, if anyone has any sports romances they wanted to send my way, specifically hockey or football, I uh, I would not be mad 👀 #MSWL

Stefanie Rossitto #MSWL: voice (romcoms/ romance/ women's fiction): looking for commercial, love sarcastic, funny and literary references. Strong female characters are always welcome - Ann and I love them both!
