Romantasy! Crackling chemistry, sexy heroes, bad-ass heroines. I like my banter flirty and in all honesty, I love an arrogant dickhead romantic lead. If the magic is unusual or in some way dangerous, that's an extra plus!

Catherine Ross is looking for #enemiestolovers romantasies with #BIPOC main characters in both #YA and adult! To see more of her #MSWL , check out the link below:

I love romantasy, but I’d also be curious to see romance-forward stories in other SFFH genres. Dystopian? Speculative/SF? And maybe most challenging of all….Horror? #mswl

I'm on QueryManager now! 🥰 QueryManager.com/TrinicaSampsonaSampsonVera

#amquerying authors: send me your MG, YA, and adult! I'm a sucker for anything speculative (particularly fantasy, romantasy, and horror) and am especially interested in stories featuring queer/BIPOC rep.

Authors, if you're querying a gorgeous romantasy MS right now, please send it my way🤩😍

#MSWL #amquerying

Please send us romance, romantic suspense, romantasy, historical, etc #MSWL #AmQuerying 50K words and up. Query using the @LCSLiterary QueryManager box. It's time to FALL in love! #Romance #BlackAuthors #Underrepresented #Amish #HistoricalRomance

Fall is here, and I am excited to find something cozy. In particular, I'd love to read a cozy romantasy set in our world, or maybe a gripping, atmospheric mystery with a fantastic voice. I'm also into gothic stories that feature ghosts/hauntings, vampires, or curses! #mswl

It’s Strictly season (AKA the best season of all) and I have a REALLY specific #mswl request for any #romantasy authors and agents out there: I would LOVE to read a book that captures the EXACT vibes of this frozen rumba ❄️

🚨 Saffron is open to queries once again! She's looking for YA romantasy, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, thriller, murder mystery, and MG graphic novels.

Her #mswl is here: ashliterary.com/#saffronwishlist

I've been seeing some great queries lately! But I've also noticed a few gaps. Here's a brief #MSWL 🧵 for what I'm focusing on right now

✨Romantasy - My forever favourite. I enjoy all the usual themes, but I'm searching for a unique hook. Comps would be One Dark Window, ACOTAR,

Also, cosy romantasy is always a vibe, but let's see some cosy sci-fi: low stakes, high heart, possibly in space! 🚀

Comp me WALL-E! #amwriting

Would love a pirate romantasy or a historical with pirates involved. Bonus points if the pirate is a female protagonist #mswl

YA
- ROMANTASY, needs no explanation methinks (side note - I’d love to see vampires make a comeback)
-keeps me on the edge of my seat THRILLERS, extra points if it includes a good whodunnit
-psychological or supernatural HORROR, that leaves me going to sleep with the light on

As a small sampling of things I love and am on the lookout for:

Genre-benders (think Romantasy, thrillers with a dash of romance, etc)
Speculative with heart (AS King, Adam Silvera, Kacen Callendar)
Thrillers (Isolated settings and beyond)
Sci-Fi (grounded and/or sweeping)

#Adult #MSWL :
- LGBTQ+ romance & diverse casts
- romcoms especially!
- enemies to lovers, slow burn, villain/hero, love triangles
- romantasy!
- psychological & cerebral horror with diversity!
- horror that stems from the real world & paranormal
- social commentary!
(4/5)

As I'm opening to queries tomorrow, here's a short #MSWL on some specifics I hope to see.

I've been excited to read Romantasy (not spicy) and Cozy fantasy lately. I'm still interested in epic fantasy and any 2nd world fantasy.

"Send me romantasy with strong fantasy and romance elements – it needs to have solid worldbuilding and plot as well as off-the-charts chemistry. I would love to see more queer (especially sapphic) romantasy!"

I've read a lot of very good fantasy books about very bad things happening to people for ~reasons~ and I want to feel joy again. This would be a great time to send me your steamiest queer romantasy ⚔️🫀 #mswl
