For Marisa, her favorite tropes in romance are the ones that make the readers second-guess themselves, starting off with stronger emotions only to find themselves falling in love with the LI, at the same rate the MC does!

Folks, I am thrilled to announce that I am FINALLY opening to submissions again in June. I'm looking for my usual #MSWL but especially interested in seeing...
Dark and spicy romance
marginalized voices
Gothic
dark academia
horror
genre-mashups
fantasy 1/

A personal reading update in case it’s helpful to see what I’m into right now! I adored How To End a Love Story & Funny Story. I’ve loved Yulin Kuang since her YouTube days, and her debut is funny, romantic, & emotional. And, of course, EmHen remains the romcom queen. #mswl

I realized I haven’t updated my #mswl in a while, so here’s what I’m currently on the hunt for:

🗡️ BIPOC romantasy
💜 queer contemporary romance (drown me in tropes!)
🐉 myth retellings with a twist
🇨🇦 Canadian authors
🧭 Dan Brown-esque mystery/thrillers

I don't see enough queer monster romances or paranormal romances!! where are my vampire boyfriends and trans merpeople and werewolf lesbians? #mswl

You can find my bio and #MSWL on the ALA site: azantianlitagency.com/pages/team-ta.html

#MSWL college set coming of age/romance YA

#MSWL I would LOVE to see pen pal contemporary romance queries. Love letters are 😍

#WritingCommunity
New on my #MSWL when I reopen is a paranormal mystery in the vein of @Ll20Victoria 's GHOST HUNTER series (Dang, I miss that series!) or @JulietBlackwell 's WITCHCRAFT MYSTERIES...but with a super-strong romantic will-they-or-won't-they sub plot.

I really want to see more YA Fantasy in my inbox. Romantic Fantasy, grounded/contemporary fantasy, paranormal fantasy. Light magic, spooky magic, bizarre magic. Dark, frothy and fun, ALL OF IT. #mswl

And this Fall I’ll circle back to Adult fiction in other categories, including fantasy, historical, and romance. Keep reading for details. 🧵

I'm EXCITED to share I'm opening back up to submissions in June with a narrowed #MSWL . I'm looking for Adult Queer or Neurodiverse (ND) representation (MC or SC) in Contemporary Romance or Contemporary Fiction. I can't wait!#amquerying

officially adding this tweet to my #mswl

@bandherbooks thank you for your service 🫡

Sending this out into the publishing ether: I am chomping at the bit for sports romances right now!! Professional, minor leagues, community rec teams - give me all the sports and allll the competitive vibes!! #mswl #sportsromance

Planning to take in a rugby game with my bestie soon and it got me thinking...I really think I need to see a rugby romance soon. #MSWL

I've officially gone through all my queries. So, it's time for a short #MSWL

My focus right now is contemporary ❤️romance❤️
-Rom-coms with fantastic humour (I love sarcasm) and layered characters
-Navigating dating/love/heartbreak as a millennial
-Sports romance!

Did I mention I'm open to #SciFi now?!! I would love to see a sci-fi romance. Or anything with multi-media elements similar to THE ILLUMINAE FILES by Amie Kaufman #MSWL

I am ONLY looking for YA/New Adult/Adult stories in romance, rom-coms, romantasy, upmarket/book club fiction, and women's fiction. OK to cross into the magical side of speculative (time travel, time slip, parallel universe stories a la THE SEVEN YEAR SLIP by Ashley Poston)

#MSWL Just binged Arsenal Military Academy (the C-drama) & I'd LOVE to see stories w/similar weird-but-they-REALLY-work, squad goal friendships!

Happy to see romance/fantasy/historical or other genres here! Would love boarding school settings, big friendships/staked adventure!

Basic summary of what I'm currently acquiring:
✔️MG & YA (all genres)
✔️GN for kids w/illustrator attached
✔️Adult/NA romcom/romcom adjacent
✔️Adult/NA romantasy
✔️Adult/NA SFF w/ strong romance
✔️Narrative NF in History only

And I usually acquire commercial material.
