I'm seeking:
Adult: fantasy, thriller, contemporary romance, rom. com., mystery, & sci-fi.
YA: fantasy, sci-fi, horror, contemporary, thriller, & mystery. I love dark & twisty, light & funny, & stories with or without romance. querylynnette (at) theseymouragency (dot) com #MSWL

For #hallmarkpitch on Wed. Dec. 13, we're looking for complete manuscripts, either sweet romance (esp. contemporary) or cozy mystery, 65K - 85K or so. Can be Christmas or not-Christmas! Self-published is fine if it meets our taste guidelines in the present form. #MSWL #amwriting

Another romance trope I love is forbidden romance—boss/subordinate, doctor/patient, lawyer/client, cop/suspect, patriot/rebel, journalist/source, priest/parishioner, aristocrat/commoner, feuding clans… #MSWL

My favorite romance tropes include forced proximity, enemies to lovers, fake engagement, marriage of convenience, reunion romance, stranded together, and secrets (secret agenda, secret royal, secret baby) #MSWL

I’m a sucker for the great outdoors, so send me mystery, suspense & romance manuscripts set in grand landscapes, from mountains to deserts to jungles. Think wilderness guides, smoke jumpers, Alaskan bush pilots, wildlife biologists, Canadian mounties, mercenaries… #MSWL

I’d love to find some feel-good contemporary romance that has solid conflict between passionate main characters; stories with plenty of emotion but without heavy issues or angsty drama. #MSWL

I’m looking for romantic suspense that has a fully developed romance as well as a high level of tension or action. Espionage, paramilitary, law enforcement heroes. Revenge themes. Action/adventure. A lighthearted Mr. & Mrs. Smith type of story. #MSWL

I’m acquiring whodunit mysteries: cozy #mystery, police procedurals, PIs. May have romantic elements and/or paranormal elements. I’m seeking strong hooks, compelling characters, unique settings, clever crime-solving. #MSWL

I’m seeking adult fiction: fantasy, sci-fi, thriller, mystery, romance (contemporary, SF/F romance, romantic comedy), & mysteries (traditional, cozy, amateur sleuth). Send query & five pages to: querylynnette (at) theseymouragency (dot) com. #MSWL #amquerying #amagenting 3/3

Searching for Christmas #romances! Must have Christian elements / themes. #MSWL #Inspy Details: ow.ly/yJGu30gsjbJ #ChristianFiction

We don't do paranormal romance per se, but a little magic is okay: a magical object (see #ChristmasInEvergreen this Sat.), time travel (person from past in the present day -- e.g. Journey Back to Christmas), a life-altering wish come true (e.g. A Wish For Christmas.) #MSWL

Please query me with ALL OF THESE. #mswl

A few things we'd love to see in contemporary romance:
a fun sense of humor;
Christmas, obviously;
summer weddings;
heroes who are genuinely good men;
series ideas about friends or siblings;
subplots about family members reconciling;
rescue dogs and/or cats.
#MSWL

With all of this Prince Harry and Meghan Markle news, I'd love to see a contemporary YA romance featuring a royal family! #MSWL

I’ll take a romance novel about Prince Barry and Creighan Clarkle any time. #mswl.

I should probably mention I am a sucker for high emotional breakup scenes. Give me DRAMA!! #MSWL YA Romance please

Started watching SONS OF ANARCHY and all I can think is that I really want a Hatfield & McCoy style romance book with polar opposite lovers. #YA #MSWL
