I'm so grateful to @VeronicaForand for letting me know about an RWA snafu! 3 Seas was vetted by RWA in 2001 but somehow we fell off the approved agent list. All is well and we're listed again. We are 100% looking for new romance writers in all genres. Pls send Amish, too! #MSWL

I'd love to see more inspirational historical romances in my inbox! #mswl

#RomBkLove 2020 Day 27: Bodyguard romances. Ah, a trope I always enjoy. Two recent reads are Pop Star by Eden Finley and Royally Endowed by Emma Chase. I feel like there was a gender swapped one I really enjoyed but if there isn’t, then I’d like to #MSWL that 😂

And it with a bit of this #MSWL for a super romantic book:

So #MSWL ahead of reopening on Monday 6/1: contemporary Romances and rom-coms! I have been thinking about the manuscripts I have read lately and loved or the books I have read lately and loved, and this was what they all had in common: they were all romantic books. So gimme!!

Ignoring the fact that I am backed up on queries:

#MSWL I want the next Talia Hibbert Red heart Give me all the body-positive, LGBTQIA+ friendly, inclusive, diverse, and sexy contemporary romances. Please and thank you!

I really want an adult ballet contemporary romance or WF. No Swan Lake retellings... I am fatigued on those. LGBTQ+ or neurodiverse welcome and preferred. #MSWL
