Some kind of romantasy or fantasy romance in YA. Standalone preferred but series potential is okay. Would love something without “I must save the world” type stakes but there’s still a solid plot and conflict #mswl

Top of my #MSWL : cozy romantasy! I love it and simply cannot get enough. Witches, vampires, werewolves, and a heaping of romance = 😍❤️‍🔥📚

I would especially love to find a sapphic romantasy on the fun, smutty side. Think Sierra Simone’s The Fae Queen’s Captive. #MSWL

I prefer my spice on the kinkier side, and I would really love to find a romantasy with consensual, sex-positive, queer-friendly BDSM. Authors with deep knowledge of kink beyond D/s and light dirty talking will definitively have me picking up that manuscript so fast. #MSWL

Finally, I want more fantasy: fresh and unexpected takes on romantasy and more cozy fantasy. I'm pretty particular about my fantasy as it needs to be immediately accessible and character focused, instead of solely world-building focused. I'm not drawn to classic fantasy unless there's a twist #mswl

Some things I'm especially on the hunt for: Voicey romantasy. If it's inventive and full of humor, I'm interested. I'm looking for more grounded romantasy set in this world. Bonus points for cozy elements! #mswl

Highlighting some #mswl in either YA, NA or adult: horror of any variety. Looking for really unique (new twists) romantasy, fantasy from soft to epic. Also where are my sci-fi space opera writers? 🤣 In addition to my other tweets on what I want.

-Romantasy with some spice (a few scenes), though I'm usually more comfortable with longing and angst than actual spice. Priority here for outside of Europe, queer, and BIPOC. #MSWL

-I'm still open to finding more self-published authors in the Adult market (SFF, Romantasy, or Mystery) who want help exploiting their retained sub-rights. Audio rights being at the top of that list. #MSWL

i've been revisiting favourites that were precursors to romantasy as we know it today, like tasha suri's THE BOOKS OF AMBHA duology, jemisin's THE INHERITANCE trilogy, and other fantasy where romance is a strong subplot but a HEA is not guaranteed and the angst is elite 🤌 #mswl

while i'm def open to romantasy where the fantasy/worldbuilding and romance are given equal space/attention (esp from marginalized writers ft. marginalized perspectives/stories), i also want to see more romantic fantasy that might not necessarily fit the 'romantasy' label #mswl

#Trans femme voices (all genres)! Even though this was at the top of my wishlist last year, I received very few...crossing my fingers universe.

Cozy romantasy with stakes.
