Agents and/or authors.

Please send me train thrillers like BULLET TRAIN, or something LEON-like with assassins or gangs.

Am always on the lookout for crime adjacent novels set in South Central LA, NYC, South Korea or Japan.

Or maybe some 90s Seattle-set grunge noir.

#MSWL DAY! February 16th. All day long! pic.twitter.com/2dUZ57wMt2

I've updated my #MSWL page for their great new platform and look forward to queries - especially if it's a multicultural love story, a
BIPOC perspective on history (fiction or nonfiction), a thriller in an unusual time and place...
Happy #MSWL Day! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿค— manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/Jessโ€ฆ

I really enjoy noir mysteries. They are so sinister and devious and delicious. I really enjoy flawed characters that you should hate but kinda love. Send me your messed up, nefarious, duplicitous, shrewd, sneaky, deceitful, calculating, manipulative, scheming, anti-heroes! #mswl

Would love to see noir detective stories set in almost any other genre but the mystery must be central/taken seriously! #mswl
