#MSWL Still looking for an MG Romance Writer exploring 1st love & crushes like Natalie Blitt Carols & Crushes for MIDDLE GRADE to YA girls, 12-15yos. Yes I want something that straddles that weird line. Want them to read like Hallmark movies for kids and could go series.

The above is only a snapshot of some very specific areas I'm interested in, so if your story has intricate world-building & characters who feel like real portraits (humour/romance a +) please do send to christabelsubmissions(a)davidhigham.co.uk and I'd love to read it #mswl

I have a soft spot for HISTORICAL FANTASIES, whether real or imagined & particularly if they have a healthy dose of romance in there i.e. Regency Faerie Tales. I do love learning about a new culture or period of history, so assume I am casting this net very far & wide! #mswl

Not sure if you know this about me, but I LOVE 💗 stories. I will ALWAYS be open to adult Romance in my inbox. In ALL subgenres—contemporary, romcom, fantasy, stories w/speculative elements.

But I’m also open to other age groups & genres. Here’s a little more of my #MSWL

Something dark. Something speculative. Something testing and scary and creepy and thoughtful and bloody and romantic and ambitious and terrifying and mesmerizing.

YA and Middle Grade Fiction

Light-hearted, action adventure, character driven, coming of age books that can tackle big themes and doesn’t shy away from important topics. Books with romance but are romances. Thoughtful stories about character over spectacle.

Adult Fantasy

Villains being truly and genuinely villainous, romance at the forefront but politics at the core, family dynasties, high stakes adventure, historical dramas, highly aesthetic spaces, thoughtfully done ensemble casts with series potential. Give me more Fourth Wing

💕Adult Romance💕

I love books that straddle the line between women’s fiction and romance. Books with a lot of heart and deep connections between characters. Summer nights. Escapist environments. Friend groups. Big emotions and high concept. Interconnected standalones. Angst.

In general, I love love, so having romance in your MS is plus. However, I understand that romance isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, so if your MS has a whole lot of heart, please send it my way. I do love a happy ending.

I’m seriously on the hunt for a heartfelt YA in the vein of The Summer I Turned Pretty. Or the Betty, James, and August triangle from T Swizz ✨vibes✨. I do adore a holiday romance.

Brief #MSWL 🧵
I’m looking to sign more fantasy romance. Mid to high heat is preferable, but low heat with romantically charged tension is fine too. Where are the blonde love interests please!

"Send me romantasy with strong fantasy and romance elements – it needs to have solid worldbuilding and plot as well as off-the-charts chemistry. I would love to see more queer (especially sapphic) romantasy!"
