romantasy where the Viera-esque witch falls for the wayward spirit she's trying to save... yes... #mswl

#MSWL

I’m prioritizing BIPOC and queer & trans writers atm! I’m really hunt for
- MG horror & mystery
- YA horror & mystery
- Adult spec fic, gothic horror, horroromance, romantasy
- sister stories
- mother daughter stories
- mermaids
- stories in the PNW, Appalachia, or arctic!
- dual timelines

I have a lot of *hard* fantasy in YA so I'm still looking for ⤵️

Adult romantasy
Young adult horror, thriller/mystery, & paranormal (I like horror that lends to the aesthetic of horror but w/ whimsy opposed to gore (Wednesday, Beetlejuice, Haunted Mansion, R.L. Stine).

#MSWL

Writers, I long to find a spectacular debut YA author to invite onto my list! I love romantasy, fantasy, fairy/folktale retellings, thrillers & anything with an unreliable narrator! If you write this, hit me up - see skylark-literary.com for submission guidelines. 😊♥️ #MSWL

#MSWL

I am also looking for YA horror & mystery/thriller

Sci-fi genre mashups

Romantasy (adult), Epic fantasy + cozy fantasy

Magical MG

New #MSWL : I want ROMANCE!!! NA and adult contemporary, romcom, and romantasy! My box is full of thrillers and kid lit, so I'm closed to those for the moment. I still want horror, mysteries, and nonfiction projects! Query me: QueryManager.com/QueryLynnetteNLynnetteNovak. #amquerying #writingcommunity

Still looking for romantic fantasy & romantasy #mswl

In the mood to read all of the romantasy and big, messy friend groups trying to defeat monsters or solve a müřđëř #MSWL

FYI: I am opening to #submissions tomorrow! I am particularly keen to find more MG and YA, as well as new voices in the romance space (both romantasy and contemporary) for new adult/adult readers. Bio here:

Romantasy is fine but the fantasy elements MUST be strong! 2. Horror: Psychological and paranormal horror in particular but will consider slashers. Love gothic horror. Generally not fazed by gory content.

Tidbits on what I’m hunting: adult/YA horror; romance (sweet, dark, steam; romcoms, meet cutes, sports hero protagonists, etc.); thrillers/psych susp.; YA dark academia; adult/YA fantasy/romantasy (r’masy must be very unique); & more. Read #mswl #WritingCommmunity #amquerying

Very specific things I'd love to see
- more adult fantasy/romantasy (something very unique and off the wall and contemporary/grounded)
- MG and YA horror and mystery/thriller
- Academia
- humorous cozy fantasy
- sapphics!

#MSWL

I’m also still eagerly looking for the right romantasy project. The market is very saturated right now so it’s important to think about what makes your book stand out—maybe an x meets y layered hook, etc. #mswl

Onto the #mswl ! This fall, for FICTION, I'm open to MOST THINGS! Surprise me! #amquerying

Agents, I'd also love to find my queer cozy fantasy or romantasy I want the low stakes, strong vibes. Or the high stakes and swoonworthy shadow daddies...iykyk #mswl

I also want to see cozier romantasy, where magic is woven into smaller aspects. Think kitchen and garden witches that brew intention into their hobbies.

I would love to do more romantasy. Stories that are steeped in folklore and mythology.

I’d like to see magical academies (think THE MAGICIANS or FOURTH WING), lush world building, and romance with high stakes.

Books that would be for fans of Tamora Pierce are perfect for me.

I only acquire in the adult space, to break down our imprints, I’m looking for the following:

Crooked Lane:
Thrillers, historical mysteries, cozy mysteries, and horror.

Alcove Press:
Historical fiction, speculative fiction and magical realism, bookclub fiction, and romantasy.
