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)
#MSWL

✨ 2025 ROMANCE #MSWL ✨ I’m really excited to find some new romance authors this year, so here are some specifics about my favorite kinds of romance/rom coms, including my favorite tropes, books, movies, shows, and songs, as well as some things I’m always looking for across all genres.

I’d love to see fantasy, spec fic, SF, comedy of manners, Rom-Coms, historical with a twist, and contemporary fic based on Japanese culture and/or set in Japan. I spent two years each in Tokyo and Osaka, and have an ongoing love affair with all things Japan. #MSWL

Right now, the largest % of queries I receive are for the fantasy genre. Which is great, I love fantasy, but I also want my list to be balanced. So I would *really* love to see more queries in other genres: romcom, horror, mystery, historical, magical realism, graphic novel, etc. #MSWL

- trans characters in any setting, any genre. but especially if you’ve got a trans rom com!

- stories set in the PNW, Appalachia, or arctic!

- mother-daughter stories and sisterhood stories!

1/ First things first: my name is Ginger and I'm an agent at Movable Type Management. I represent books for adults (sorry, no YA/MG/Kidlit) across all genres. I'm looking for commercial and upmarket women's fiction—especially thrillers, rom-coms, mysteries and select horror...

#MSWL : Thriller rom-com? Mystery rom-com? Say less. High stakes, sharp banter, and just enough danger to make the romance hit harder?! If your book feels like a heist, a scandal, or a crime gone delightfully off the rails with kissing? Yes. 🔪💋 #amquerying

Happy #MSWL day!

I’m an associate agent at FinePrint. Authors I’d love to find:

🧟 horror of all kinds
✨ a South Asian romcom
😈 something so darkly funny I’ll feel bad for laughing

In the romance space, I'm looking for it all: rom-coms, rom-drams, and any other romance genre blend you can think of.

I'm also eager to see more speculative novels in my queries that are grounded in our world and examine a social issue with a singular or limited surrealist device #mswl

Also always looking for smart and funny rom-coms. One that can become the next clever chick flick #mswl
