I'd love to see more crossover romantic fantasy in my inbox~

#mswl

I acquire contemporary romance, book club fiction, suspense, thriller, and mystery in the commercial and upmarket space. Would love to see more diverse suspense and thriller in particular!

I made some tiny updates to my #MSWL to reflect a few more things I'm excited to see (and maybe remove a few things that haven't been working for me). If you comp What Happened in Skinner, please query me!!

My next #MSWL

Literary “Romance”—I want a deeply thematic & potentially twisted story about complexity of relationships/ love.

HEA ok but prefer not.

Lots of interiority but center around an external happening!

LGBTQ+ yes! But prefer when sexuality is not the main conflict

- Queer contemp and historical fiction with gorgeous prose and a strong hook
- Queer and/or BIPOC romance across categories. Steam (in adult) is welcome but not required!
- Cozy mysteries for millennials
- SFF with a strong romantic element, or romance with a strong SFF element

In YA and Adult:

- Fantasy rooted in folklore and culture, featuring diverse characters, myths, and monsters
- Horror as a vehicle for exploring identity, otherness, and trauma
- Fresh genre crossovers/subgenres like cozy sci-fi, horror romance, literary historical fantasy, etc.

Working on finding projects with these vibes on my #MSWL

I'd love to see a romance novel that's spooky or a little off kilter or dark. Something like MORBIDLY YOURS or LOVE IN THE TIME OF SERIAL KILLERS. #mswl

I know I'm late to the party, but I've just finished One Day, and it wrecked me. And so, naturally, I want more of this in my inbox! Sweeping romance with big feelings, true connection(!), and maybe some tears thrown in. #mswl

Very much in my romance era. Contemporary romance w/ or w/o spec, rom coms, women’s fiction with romance, cozy fantasy romance, epic fantasy romance, YA and MG romance, horror with romance elements. I want it all so send it to meeeee pls. I wanna squeal and kick my feet #MSWL

A few things I'd love to see in my inbox right now! #MSWL

YA & A:
-horror
-gothic/dark academia vibes
-romance with a spec twist
-"nerdy"/fandom romance (think: comicons, cosplay, fanart/fanfic, D&D)
-contemporary/grounded fantasy

MG & YA:
-graphic novels

(I’m not saying this is a #MSWL , but I’m not NOT saying it…)

now i'm just thinking more random 2024 #mswl things... i'd also love to see more epic romance! sweeping, fated love stories with world-changing stakes, different lifetimes, etc. i also love romances with fairytale and/or folklore sensibilities💖

My current #MSWL . I am in particular looking for YA Thrillers, Romance, Boarding School settings, and Graphic Novels. On the Adult side, I'd love to see more Popular Science and Narrative Nonfiction, as well as Romance, and Thrillers...but there is more! 😎

Dark romance in the vein of Emily McIntire

Romantasy of all kinds

Fairytale retellings of all kinds

#MSWL

Pirates. Pirate romance. Worlds with pirates in them. Good-hearted pirates. Worlds based around treasure hunting. Lush seascapes. Stories set on the water.
