An updated #MSWL thread! In general, I’m looking for Adult, YA, & MG fiction. I'm drawn to romance, horror, lower SFF, and genre blending & am always looking for more diverse perspectives. I am NOT right for erotica, non-fic, lit fic, or lower MG/chap books. Specifics below.

@tiffanykaye_ @TantorAudio Huge congrats!!! 🎉🎉

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on twitter and I’m not here a lot, but I had to come shout about my first PM announcement for my penname! My series is going to be made into audiobooks with @TantorAudio and I’m beyond excited 🎉

@perez_erin80 Yes, people are definitely welcome to requery me if they've put something through significant revisions! I may still not be the right fit for it, but I'll always take another look.

@Awritesinger Are you willing to take a look at a manuscript & query letter if both have undergone significant revisions?

@SKJMichaels 😂😂

@Awritesinger Okay okay, just give me a few more years 🤣

@SKJMichaels Hahahah yes!!!

@Awritesinger So what your saying us I need to finish ACoD? 😉

@ayawrites Hi Aya! I am, thanks for asking! :)

In YA, I am NOT typically the right fit for historical, high fantasy or sci-fi with heavy worldbuilding, European-inspired fantasy settings, Arthurian retellings, space operas, dystopian, teen pregnancy stories, eating disorders, horse books, zombies.

@signedbysuzanne Oooh, sounds super fun! :)

@Awritesinger ooo! i have a CARMILLA fantasy retelling with witches, ghosts, magic, and timeloops!

@KariSulli ☺️

@vicky_daddo I would definitely take a look! :)

@Awritesinger G'day from downunder. Would you consider a YA supernatural horror set in Australia?

@AmandaSenior12 Definitely! And even if I don't end up being quite the right fit, I don't think of it as wasted time -- it's a joy to be trusted with people's stories and be a small part of their writing journey, and I always appreciate the chance to fall in love with their work :)

@RichardAHJr If there have been revisions to the MS, then I'd definitely take a look again, but if not, then I likely would still not be quite the right fit for the project!

@Awritesinger I just realized I had queried you in May and it was a pass, has this updated mswl changed things?

@Alixlaforge333 Time loop horror romance, you say?! 👀

@Awritesinger Just sent my time loop horror romance! Never sent a query so fast in my life 😅

@RichardAHJr Definitely!

@Awritesinger How about a queer reimagining of this nightmare?

@Stpolishook Not at all! I would definitely take a look at something without romance.

@Awritesinger Is non romance plot an auto pass for you atm?

@AmandaSenior12 You can always feel free to send me a query if you'd like, I'm always willing to take a look!

@tisforthamyl 😂😂 sounds great, I hope you write fast!! LOL

@Awritesinger Still working on the first draft but I will save your name for when I start query, we just happen to love the same things 🤣

@BeattyGreg Only one MS at a time and if the first 10 pages is the entire MS then yes, the entire MS is fine!

@Awritesinger I have reviewed your guidelines, but don't see specifics on picture book submissions. (Instead of the first 10 pages I send...the whole thing? Three manuscripts?) Thanks!

@DevPitches I'm so glad! And thank you, I hope you're having a good day also!🥰

@Awritesinger Thank you so much! This is v helpful. ✨ Hope you’re having a good day!

@AriaIgniata Amazing! I'll keep my eye out for your name in my inbox!!🥰

@Awritesinger I'll be adding you to my query list!

@DevPitches Romance w/ a spec twist is looser & while it can involve fantasy elements, it doesn't have to (could be more paranormal w/ vamps, or more sci-fi with timeloops). It also tends to skew more contemporary (i.e.: spec elements in our world). Think THE DEAD ROMANTICS, or THE EX HEX.

@DevPitches Hi Devyani! Of course -- while there aren't really hard definitions, I'd consider romantasy to be more romance in a fantasy setting or fantasy w/ an equally strong romance plot. Think something like ASSISTANT TO THE VILLAIN or the MEAD MISHAPS books.
