Yes, please!!

And might as well note when I reopen I'll also be looking for fun, bonkers, glitzy, exciting New Adult contemporary & rom-com w/out speculative elements too!

I'd love to see some really unexpected, out-of-the-box stuff! Nice mashups of the weird and the fun with romance. #MSWL

#MSWL Something I'll be looking for when I reopen are ✨cozy New Adult fantasies✨ that blend fun, speculative elements, & romance w/spice.

I'll be looking for lots of variations including genre mixing, romcoms at magical colleges, contemporaries w/protagonists who have magic...

I am lovely this vein of comedic fantasy. You know, the high fantasy world meshed with a workplace romance/comedy, and an almost contemporary voice. I'd love something like that. ONWARD & ASSISTANT TO THE VILLIAN is kind of what I am thinking. #MSWL

I really want a sweeping romance that you make go SQUEE with joy. Love enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, slow burn tropes. #MSWL

Ahead of opening to queries this week, I am going to retweet some of my #MSWL tweets. This month I am really looking to find more YA novels, particularly hoping to find a fantasy or more contemporary coming of age romances.

#MSWL @greyhausagency is actively looking for traditional romance and women's fiction. VERY interested in Contemporary and certainly ALL writers in Series/Category writing. @romancewriters @HarlequinBooks @Write4Harlequin @entangledpub @TulePublishing

@RebeccaLMatte is back open to queries! She's looking for Adult and YA Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance, and is especially excited about queer romance and stories that are unabashedly nerdy.

For more details, check out her #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/rebecca-matte/

#MSWL Greyhaus Literary Agency is indeed open. I acquire traditional romance and women's fiction. I am specifically eager to find some great multicultural projects.

I really really really *really* feel horrormance is about to be the next ✨big thing✨ in pub, so – my #mswl is looking hungry for any literary/upmarket versions of that, love stories with dark, twisted, tragic beats (someone comp me IWtV or so help me god!!!) 🖤🩸🦷

I am not seeing enough Monster Romance in my queries. Please. Please. I beg of you. #mswl

#MSWL In response to the characters-in-college discourse, I'm *definitely* looking for projects w/characters in college (trade school, etc.)!

Give me college romance, college adventure, college heists, fantasy colleges, colleges in space!! Looking for both upper YA & New Adult!

My inbox needs more New Adult (NA) romance and speculative fiction (but no horror, please)! #mswl

6) What I call speculative romance: e.g. romance in our world that also has a bit of magic. Think Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.

7) Fantasy romance where the story is equal parts both, and the world and fantasy plot enhances the romance and vice versa.

4) Magic systems based in something really cool! Like...law, or wave theory, or color theory. I don't know, surprise me!

5) Historical romance with anachronistic voice/elements. Think A Knight's Tale, or Bridgerton. Or Alexis Hall.

2) Nerdy and hobbyist books! Can be any genre I rep (SFF Or romance). Give me your D&D, your video games, your theater, your woodworking, your metallurgy. Love it all.

3) Fantasy & SF that incorporates games -- rpgs or video games. Love the meta and dual narratives there.

And, on that note: I open to queries on Monday, July 1. I feel like I should update my #mswl accordingly, but be prepared, it's a mish mash:

1) Romances with BIPOC, queer and disabled leads. I'm dying for joyful books that touch on real world challenges without dwelling.

Okay…I’m almost afraid to do this, but…

For my #MSWL , I would love a collegiate level or higher gymnast romance. But it needs to be authentic. If you don’t understand first-hand the blood, sweat, and tears of the sport, there’s a 99% likelihood you’ll miss the mark. IYKYK.

On the look out for adult fiction with a wonderful revenge story and a romance subplot! Bonus points if it has time travel. If you haven’t see the korean dramas, Marry My Husband or Perfect Marriage Revenge, on Prime. You should. I need that. 😍 #mswl

Just saying but if anyone is querying a horror romance with all the spoooky smutty vibes I would love to give that a look #MSWL querymanager.com/query/LCSLiteraryServices
