Tidbits on what I’m hunting: adult/YA horror; romance (sweet, dark, steam; romcoms, meet cutes, sports hero protagonists, etc.); thrillers/psych susp.; YA dark academia; adult/YA fantasy/romantasy (r’masy must be very unique); & more. Read #mswl #WritingCommmunity #amquerying

This is also the one time, every four years, when I’m very interested in sports that aren’t Figure Skating, so you might as well send me those sports romances (No hokey, please. I’ve tried, it’s not for me.) #MSWL

Okay…I’m almost afraid to do this, but…
For my #MSWL , I would love a collegiate level or higher gymnast romance. But it needs to be authentic. If you don’t understand first-hand the blood, sweat, and tears of the sport, there’s a 99% likelihood you’ll miss the mark. IYKYK.

WRITERS! New #MSWL w/ a few changes. Still looking for Adult NF (lifestyle, parenting, sports, current events, etc) and YA/MG/PB, but expanding YA/MG to fantasy and still including dystopian/sci-fi/horror/contemporary. Make me laugh, make me sob! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/shari-maurer/

&/or: More broadly, a project about the weird culture/history of ultramarathons altogether! Would so love for a sports/outdoors writer to pitch me this. #MSWL

I've officially gone through all my queries. So, it's time for a short #MSWL
My focus right now is contemporary ❤️romance❤️
-Rom-coms with fantastic humour (I love sarcasm) and layered characters
-Navigating dating/love/heartbreak as a millennial
-Sports romance!

I just watched Challengers and I don’t know how to feel but I think it would be really good in book format
- dual/multiple timelines
- competitive sports
- love triangles
- morally grey MC

I'd planned to stay open to queries until the end of May, but I have so much amazing work in my inbox and a number of clients going on submission soon & therefore need to focus on what I have atm.
Closing Monday, so if you've been waiting it's time to submit!
#MSWL sports pls!

Quickly popping back on here to say that I'm eager to see more women's sports stories in my query inbox.
Fiction and non-fiction.
Query link is in bio.

BIG #MSWL item for me:
Upmarket fiction, #ownvoices #Indigenous stories that feature sports. Think Olympics, long-distance running, rock-climbing, snow sports, mountaineering, etc.
Ideally with strong character arcs and a commercially appealing external plot.

I recently finished a novel set in the world of sports. Any tips for finding agents who’d be interested in sports fiction?Oh gosh, aside from doing a search for #MSWL , I’m not sure. I’m actively searching for (preferably) a high-level gymnast or diver who is forced to give up their sport due to extenuating circumstances and how they cope. But I’d be open to other sports.

Sports romance with female badass athletes and nerdy shy guys #MSWL
