My #MSWL is officially live, and I can publicly announce that I've been promoted to Associate Agent at jenniedunhamlit.bsky.social. This is a dream. I'm so excited to begin building my list, and can't wait to hear from you! <3 www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/le...

"For rom coms, my taste veers towards genre-blends, i.e. a rom com that's also a family saga or a romcom com that's also a thriller. DIAL A FOR AUNTIES by Jesse Q. Sutanto is a great example and my all-time favorite rom com."
CeCe Lyra #MSWL

UPDATE: I'm currently open to queries for historical romance (yes, that's new!!!), romcom, contemporary romance, dark romance, romantasy, horror, women's fiction, and adult nonfiction. For more deets, go to my #MSWL page:

“I’m a major softie and I’m dying to read your sweet rom coms! I want emotional intelligence, tender steamy scenes, and genuinely funny dialogue.”

I'm officially open to queries again!

In Adult & YA, I'm especially hungry for... ⬇️

❤️‍🔥 (Swoony) Romantasy: Give me sweeping worlds + all-consuming romances with characters I'd fight for (or with). +1 for inventive magic systems, unique premises, and marginalized POVs.

#MSWL Fiction or nonfiction by Black writers about marijuana—a book of essays, a cookbook for special brownies and treats of the sort, political analysis of legalization, a queer romcom with a budtender main character, fiction where a character gets high responsibly and nothing bad happens to them…

My current #MSWL :
Adult Narrative Nonfiction (NOT memoir), Adult Fiction: Thriller, Suspense, Horror, Romance.
YA Fiction: Thriller, Suspense, Horror, Rom-com,
Boarding school settings, Fantasy.

Looking for the same things as usual: YA rom-coms that combine shenanigans with some deeper social issue, YA suspense focusing on local injustice, YA heists (please send me your lesbian heist novels!). Still on the lookout for a story about child labor rights.

Fantasy romcom like Assistant to the Villain (loved that book!) #mswl

A peek at her #MSWL !

Lastly, I'd love to see books featuring characters with celiac disease (which I have)--especially in the rom-com space. How does one navigate kissing on a first date when your partner has had gluten? This also goes for other autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses. #MSWL

Running late on #MSWL Day but HMU if you have smart literary spec work like HOW HIGH WE GO JN THE DARK or STATION ELEVEN with a spiritual twist: whp.submittable.com

#mswl Hungry for adult, NA, and YA. Genres. Send me your romcoms, sweet, steamy or dark romances. Favorite tropes: enemies to lovers, slow burn, sports heroes, forced proximity, mistaken identity, fake dating, tortured hero, etc.

In graphic novels, I'd love to see the next contemporary swoony YA or adult romance/romcom, as well as stories set in the workplace or internships. On the NF side, I'd love to see more illustrated how-to books for kids in my inbox. #MSWL

Happy inaugural #mswl day to all who are #writing and #querying ! I’m a literary agent looking for adult fiction and nonfiction. You’ll find my full #mswl profile here, www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/la..., and below is a snapshot of what I'd love to represent this year.

MG, YA or adult, I'm always looking for high-concept, commercial reads. Great plots and hooks. Strong voices and characters in those well-drawn worlds and situations. I'm up for some genre blending. A rom-com in a dystopian world? Agatha Christie in space? Murder mystery and dragons? Do it.

Still searching for a tennis rom-com! #MSWL

In romance: Lately I’ve been wanting timeless stories that are devastating and make me cry. I also still love a good rom-com but the voice really has to stand out and I want a fresh take on the tropes!

I love romances with:
-emotional vulnerability
-any level of steam (no erotica)
-any level of humor
-sweet, loving relationships
-lovable side characters
-main characters who are figuring it all out
-contemporary settings

Pretty much any kind of love story (contemporary romance or rom com)
