For adults, I'm on the hunt for hooky commercial fiction and women's fiction, especially with a focus on friendship; thoughtful speculative fiction; swoon-worthy romantic comedies and paranormal romance; and a few accessible, grounded fantasy, romantasy, horror, and science fiction novels. #MSWL

First: YA! Half of the projects that I fell in love with last year were YA fantasy, so I'm craving more! I'm also open to contemporary, romance, mystery, horror, and sci-fi.

I'm seeking unique world-building; relatable, messy, dynamic characters; twists and turns; and emotional depth. #MSWL

Still figuring out my romance tastes, but if your manuscript has fake relationship, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, or late bloomer tropes, pls send it my way. I also love nerds! Neurodiverse, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ protags/love interests always welcome #MSWL

2025 begins tomorrow, & the #1 thing on my #MSWL is #IndigenousAuthors !! I want it all but by Native American creators! Romance, Mystery, Suspense, Horror, Romantasy! Bonus points if you’re Cherokee, Choctaw, Dakota or Ojibwe! This is not a “token” for me. These tribes are especially close to my 💙.

👉 Adult suspense, thriller, or horror with unrelenting tension.
👉 Dark, intense stories with twists that leave me breathless.
👉 Genre-blending romance, especially horror romance. Anything that pushes the boundaries of romance while keeping the emotional core intact. (2/4)

…and (even with the QM shutdown) I’m hoping to get back to everyone by the end of the year. So, if you haven’t heard from me yet, thank you for your patience!

As for 2025, here’s an updated #MSWL of what I’d love to see in the inbox. Looking forward to some exciting projects next year!

briar makes her home in a forest of which stories are told of the bloodthirsty monster/vampire who haunts the woods from river to treeline...

no human sacrifices, just a doctor who thinks creating a lil shrine and leaving blood transfer bags is a good idea. doctor/briar romance, maybe? #mswl

As I’m thinking about my #MSWL for when I reopen, I really want some unhinged romance. Like Horror Romance or something with a vigilante “take down the patriarchy” vibe. Maybe a psychological suspense romance, though I’m not sure what that looks like. Maybe something dark or why choose.
