Reposting my #MSWL for #amquerying writers. After checking out my wish list, you can also check out my thread of tweets for very specific wish list items! Some top things I’m looking for are an adult paranormal romcom, a mystery set in a fantasy world, and/or a college setting.

if you are writing a queer line dancing rom com I WANT IT! #mswl #amquerying #linedancing

#mswl

Some very specific wants: paranormal rom coms (ADULT OR YA), rom com & non rom com thrillers or slashers in YA (think: SCREAM, QUEEN! or TYLOR WHITLOCK JUST WON'T DIE). #mswl

I’m always a sucker for a good romance novel, so here are some things I look for in a romance manuscript. I especially love romance manuscripts with a contemporary, cozy, fantasy, gothic, historical, paranormal, sports, or romcom subgenre.

#MSWL for nicolefrailbooks.bsky.social: short fiction (short stories or novellas), essays, collections (short story or essay), multi-POV novels. Previous pub experience not needed, but an active online platform is.

One last #MSWL : romcoms, heavy on the “com.” I’m especially on the lookout for books starring or written by people who have not often been depicted as the romantic lead.

Excited to see more submissions when my inbox reopens in April!

For clarity, I only represent age categories MG and up. For MG & YA I’m open to all genres fiction and nonfiction. On the adult side I only work on genre-adjacent or genre-lite fiction (no straight contemporary or anything that wades too deeply into the genre space). #MSWL

#MSWL looking for a magical realism romance/romcom like Ashley Poston!

#Horror #MSWL Also, where’s all the holiday horror at? Let’s grow that out there. I really, really want a campy Christmas Hallmark meets Horror. Or a Rom Com Horror. Something like Fresh (2022 film) where it’s all going right until it goes wrong.

I love hilarious writing, whether it's a fresh rom-com or cozy mystery. Bring on the funny! #MSWL

Ok I lied there’s one more! #MSWL

I can’t help but love a big-hearted rom-com that takes me on a rollercoaster of emotions. Emily Henry and Talia Hibbert are all time faves.

I’d love fiction with magical realism, historical fiction, contemporary fantasy, romance/romcoms, epic/high fantasy, LitRPG, mystery, or sci‑fi. Blend them? Great. Fantasy + mystery? Great. Magical realism + historical? Great. Set in Latin America, Africa, Asia, or about diaspora lives? Great #MSWL

#MSWL I’d really love to find a dark romcom like Lights Out by Navessa Allen!

Check out my #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/si..., and submission guidelines here: inkwellmanagement.com/contact/! no ai stuff pls.

#mswl I still haven't signed a YA rom-com and I'd love to! Send me rom-coms please. I love fun, bantery romance with thoroughly teenage priorities, especially when grounded in queer or multicultural identities.

Hello 2026! As we get closer to the new year—and my query inbox reopening—it’s time for me to update what I’m looking for. I saw a lot of fabulous projects in 2025 (but more on that later), and I’m excited about what I might find in 2026. #mswl

#mswl I adore will-they-won't-they romance, slow burn, established pairings, and more. I'm open to all YA graphic novels including romcom, but for prose I'm strictly open to children's fantasy, spy, and heist, not contemporary romance. It was listed in error on querytracker, now fixed.

What I really want in a manuscript right now

*A literal laugh out loud romcom- I want to have tears streaming down my face!

*A swoon worthy romance- think Serendipity, No One Wants This
