WISHLIST


High concept stories that are instantly pitchable and attached to an emerging trend.

Genre mashes that are ahead of the market, that speak to a niche, identifiable audience.

Above all, romance that makes me swoon, featuring characters I can’t forget.

ELEMENTS AND TROPES

Tropey stories, especially featuring enemies-to-lovers, academic/sports/work rivals, workplace romance, forbidden love, fated mates, grumpy/sunshine, black cat vs. golden retriever, why choose, villain gets the girl, or ‘we make each other worse.’ All tropes welcome!

Unexpected, whimsical romances —the weirder the better!

Unforgettable settings: carnivals, circuses, space stations, etc.

Rom coms in non-contemporary genres: dystopian rom com, sci fi rom com, fantasy rom com, LitRPG rom com, etc. Readers yearn for rom com!

LitRPG romances in cozy video game worlds, like Stardew Valley; or sprawling, open-world maps, like Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Gothic horror romance or gothic fairytale reimaginings with a romantic core

Adaptations, retellings, and other reimagined stories, especially attached to beloved — and nostalgic — IP properties

Supernatural elements, like witches, vampires, shifters, grim reapers, etc.

Seasonal romances featuring emerging holidays (Christmas in July, Galentine’s Day, etc.)

All spice levels and pairings welcome!
