🏅I'm always on the hunt for a steamy sports romance with a strong and interesting plot. I'm sure the Olympics is going to inspire a whole lot of stories.

In sports romance, I want drama and high stakes. Give me Olympians going head-to-head for the Gold Medal, I love actual rivalry. Give me an ex-partner being chosen as the national team’s coach. Give me genderqueers setting fire to these dumb gendered sports.

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

-Adventure and/or heist roms (the more bonkers, the better)
-Contemporary romance/rom coms (though it needs to have a strong voice and strong hook)
-Nerdy/fandom romances (comic con, cosplay, fanart/fanfic, D&D, etc.)
-sports roms (particularly BIPOC and/or LGBTQ)

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/

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!

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.

greg cantwell @gregmcantwell

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.
