I’m just saying, vampire rom com. They’ve been alone for a sooooo long and all they want is their one true forever, probably queer because come on, LOVE. #MSWL

On the lighter side, upmarket fiction & beach reading sans the beach! Historical fiction, romantic comedies, family sagas, I'm open to pretty much anything with humor and heart

Query tip: research. You have the best shot of finding the right agent if you check out their #mswl before querying. Here's mine: adult or YA fiction or non, for fiction specifically rom com, hist, mystery, true crime, spec. Love strong female leads, diverse voices.

OOO The Wellerman sea shanty RomCom #MSWL of my #YA dreams. Also down for My Mother Told Me

What I'd love to see in my inbox: #YA #romcom by #BIPOC authors. I like realistic contemporaries but could be open to other genres, if done well. Queer, straight, whatever. Send me your swoon-worthy love stories. #mswl

Sapphic rom coms in adult and YA. That's it. That's the #MSWL tweet.

As always, I'm on the lookout for queer representation. I'd particularly love to see:

1. More identity discovery/first crushes in MG
2. Sapphic YA rom-coms
3. More queer works by BIPOC authors
4. Queer stories w/ happy endings
5. Supportive queer found families

What I'm looking for the most this New Year is rom-com ❤️ with relatable characters and a storyline that's hard to put down. #MSWL #Romance #romcom

Here's my current #MSWL:

In adult fiction: thrillers, horror, psychological suspense, contemporary romance, romantic comedy, and mysteries (traditional, amateur sleuth, and cozy).

#MSWL - something big, sweeping, ROMANTIC. I love love and I love romantic stories, whether they're romantic comedies or sweeping love stories. I want to see love against the odds stories.

For Adult, send me your romcoms or category romances! I’m also looking for big, juicy love stories. I live for the feels. I love women’s fiction on the light and fluffy side. Family stories, etc. Those are my kinds of stories #MSWL

For YA contemp, I’m looking for the light and fluffy kind! I’d love to see diverse romcoms! #MSWL

I am actively looking for Latinx voices.

For YA, I would adore a fantasy (or all of them), magical realism and romcoms. I like the light and fluffy in contemporary.

For adult, historical romances, romcoms, WF focused on relationships and magical realism. Commercial fic #MSWL

I want the #ya version of this! Perhaps a lonely Jewish TEEN and the other lonely Chinese Jewish teen whose family owns the Chinese restaurant? #mswl Please and thank you.
