In romance: I love quirky characters and am far more likely to be drawn to a story that makes me laugh than one that makes me cry. In historical, I really would love to see some diverse stories. Give me South Asians falling in love in London during the Regency, for example. #mswl

Time for some #mswl tweets! Here are just some of the things I'm looking for right now.

In general, I rep adult mystery, romance, women's fiction, some SF/F, and upmarket projects, and love to see historical fiction across all genres. I also rep narrative nonfiction.

I wanna touch on contemporary romance real quick. I love cute awkwardness. I want gut-wrenching love (think Just One Day by @gayleforman). I need LGBTQ+ that isn't just "coming out" or "issue-driven". If you give me Andy Anderson, I'll love you forever #MSWL

I sometimes work on a lot of serious stuff, so would love to balance it with an adorable, smart meet-cute romance a la Jennifer Smith or Set it Up <3 #MSWL

#MSWL I had put this out before, but... can I get Greer's story from Reign with Greer being in love with the cook instead of the POV of Mary, Queen of Scots royalty-like story? Greer is definitely my favorite romance.

#MSWL romance

#MSWL When I open up my queries again, I want the fluffiest most uwu romance / contemporary (adult or children's) fiction with PoC and/or queer protagonists (Not secondary characters fitting the bill and no one is allowed to die!)

I'm going to keep shouting about this too until it shows up in my inbox. DIVERSE HISTORICAL ROMANCE PLEASE AND THANK YOU. #mswl

Here are the genres I'm open to: Fantasy (all kinds), Contemporary, Cont. Romance, select Romance, light Sci Fi, Magical Realism, Historical.

Upper MG, YA, and Adult only

I want LGBTQ+ and diverse characters, themes, and worlds. I want mental health and disability rep. #MSWL

Seeking: Adult: thrillers, psychological suspense, SFF, contemporary romance, rom-com, & mysteries. YA: suspense/thrillers, SFF, horror, mysteries, historical, & contemporary. MG: SFF, action/adventure, contemporary, mysteries horror, & humor. #MSWL #diversity 4/4

I'd love to see juicy contemporary inspy romance plotlines. For example, someone in Witness Protection who can never tell anyone including love interests who she really is. Or a character who finds out as an adult he/she was switched at birth or kidnapped. #MSWL

Chiming in to share my #MSWL: Adult Fiction (sry no YA etc.) #OwnVoices #RomComs #LGBT+ #SciFi #Fantasy #WomensFic #Romance

I’d love to have a Diverse RomCom in the #LGBT+ space, add a dog or cat to a WF or RomCom & 😍

I'm looking for juicy inspirational romantic suspense books that will fit Love Inspired Suspense. Clean reads, lots of danger and suspense, satisfying romance, not preachy. Think characters on the run from danger who fall in love while fighting to stay alive.

#MSWL

What she said! Regency romances with diversity - bonus points for settings outside of England. #MSWL

Madeleine, have you had any success yet? Where is the Jane the Virgin inspired romance novel we deserve and need? #MSWL

It's been over 2 years for this one, and I have a field of crickets in my inbox too. #MSWL

It's been 2 years and NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING has made it to my inbox! #MSWL

#MSWL I am always looking for a strong Cozy Mystery with a female protagonist, 70-90K words with a strong hook. I am also looking for Amish Romances, Romantic Suspense, Women's Fiction, Psychological Suspense, Middle Reader Mysteries, Historical Romances, Historical Mysteries.

#MSWL One last wish--I've always loved stories with a medical aspect so would welcome women's fiction and romance submissions that have a medical aspect.
