Hi, Cheyenne again! Adding to my really specific #MSWL projects:

- Sports romance that centers the love of the sport (and the found family element) just as much as the romance

- a horror book with dinos. please. (think Jurassic Park 3 with more politics.)

Hi, this is Courtney at Handspun Lit participating in #mswl! I'd love:
- cozy mystery comparable to Richard Osman; fun, feel good, centers a glimpse into unusual lives, character driven.
- high concept women's fiction
- cosy fantasy and sf

Reminder we reopen to queries March 1st!💜

Alrighty, we broke. After a bunch of kicking and screaming, and the usual feet dragging that comes with joining a new form of social media, Handspun is now officially on Bluesky!
