#MSWL March 2024

And here's some extras.

Please send us romance, romantic suspense, romantasy, historical, etc #MSWL #AmQuerying 50K words and up. Query using the @LCSLiterary QueryManager box. It's time to FALL in love! #Romance #BlackAuthors #Underrepresented #Amish #HistoricalRomance

But I am still relatively new and not burned out by this industry yet... And we are really excited over at Romantic Suspense to find new authors, especially authors writing diverse perspectives, so if you have questions, hit me up! My full wishlist is pinned in my profile.

We updated our romantic suspense guidelines last year and are actively doing outreach to find authors who are writing LGBTQ+ stories. I know that category romance in general and Harlequin in particular have not always been quick to embrace stories from underrepresented voices.

Reupping my #MSWL request for queer romantic suspense stories. If you are a writer or you know a writer who loves writing m/m or f/f pairings in a romantic suspense setting, please get in touch. My DMs are open or you can reply here and I'll answer what I can.

Please note in your #query that you heard about our #callforsubs on Twitter. Both agented and unagented submissions welcome.

Here we go:

🌹Romantic Suspense. We are in need of some love alongside that mystery and intrigue.

🌹Mafia Romances

🌹YA Fiction, specifically dystopian

Querying authors, we're looking for adult #fiction geared toward the #Christian market. Christian romance, suspense or #romanticsuspense. Historical or historical romance. No DMs. See submission guidelines here: rachellegardner.com/submissions #MSWL #Inspybooks #amwriting #ChristFic

Querying authors, we're looking for adult closed door #romance, #suspense or #romanticsuspense geared toward the CBA and General market. No DMs. See submission guidelines: rachellegardner.com/submissions #MSWL #Inspybooks #amwriting #fiction

Gloomy, threatening, or naturally dangerous settings can go a long way in a thriller. But there’s something terrifying about bad things happening in beautiful, “safe” locations we associate w/ escape. This is a #mswl tweet but also promo for YOU CAN TRUST ME by @wendydheard

It's #MSWL day! I've updated my profile over at Manuscript Wish List, so if you're writing suspenseful romance stories, please check it out and send your projects my way! Always open to questions if you have any. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/emma…

(And as always, if you can pitch your manuscript as "Twin Peaks meets romance" I will drop everything to read it. I am fully convinced this idea makes for a great romantic suspense novel and I will drop everything to read it.)

#mwsl: Our Harlequin Romantic Suspense line is woefully lacking in LGBTQ+ representation. Anyone have a great f/f romantic suspense novel they want to send me? Cagney & Lacey vibes, or a Jessica Fletcher/Miss Marple team up? Let me know. harlequin.submittable.com/submit

And just because I didn't add any historical romance, romantic suspense, etc. doesn't mean we're not acquiring it! I'd love to read those projects too. :) Check the guidelines for a full list of genres we're currently looking for.

Lastly, I have a wide-range of adult stories I'm seeking--many are the same from last year. BUT I am really into finding a paranormal romance and romantic suspense in 2023. My steam level varies, but the plot matters more than the sexiness. I don't rep erotical.
