I like dark and twisty but not gory. Suspense with a real edge. I tend not to lean to horror, but love dark characters with dark secrets. Like Razorblade Tears or Black Cake. Family secrets coming to light are a big hit for me. #MSWL

My areas of expertise are upmarket and literary fiction, women's fiction, mystery, suspense and thriller. I love books w/ strong family focus (found, friends, those you're born with) and home. Even in mystery I love those connections #MSWL

Yesterday I Tweeted my Nonfiction #MSWL. Today it's your turn fiction writers. Note, I represent adult fiction only. But plenty of others at @bookendslit represent books for children. Hit them up.

In speculative fiction I’d like to see more climate-related books. Just learned about popping shrimp. Crazy. Books like Dry for adult audiences. #queryme #MSWL querymanager.com/query/Jessica_…

A reminder if you’ve missed previous #mswl I have been looking for more adult fiction & nonfiction by trans authors. There is space for you. QueryMe.Online/Jessica_Faust

Lunchtime at @bookendslit finds @jamerrson & I discussing #MSWL ideas and some plot hooks we would both love to see. Plane crashes & bucket lists lead the chat as well lost in the wilderness stories. For me, these are almost always for an adult audience.

I will not be able to spend a lot of time in #PitMad, but I am open to queries and hungry. #MSWL: mystery, suspense, thriller, women's fiction, upmarket & literary adult fiction. Query me here: querymanager.com/query/Jessica_…

While #ownvoices and #diversebooks have caught on in YA, I'm still struggling to see it in adult and, frankly, that's what I want more of. #MSWL My target genres right now are: literary & upmarket fiction, mystery, suspense, thriller, & women's fiction.

I'll let the agents @bookendslit pipe in, but for me, I want to see transgender & nonbinary protagonists & characters in adult fiction who are just people, living their normal lives & that it's not about being LGBTQ or other because they are just being. #MSWL

Having just finished reading Dry by Neal Shusterman & Jarrod Shusterman I am obsessed with finding something similar with an adult perspective (YA versions should go to @TracyMarchini ) #MSWL

For me, I'm looking for the next NEXT YEAR IN HAVANA, more #ownvoices, a #MeToo story, stories and #WF featuring moms. I'm only looking for new clients in adult right now. #MSWL

Since I'm stuck on the phone with the bank I'll check out #dvpit, but don't forget that I'm actively seeking #ownvoices in adult--thriller, women's fiction, suspense, upmarket & literary. #MSWL query me in case I miss your pitch.

I would also like to see psychological suspense/thrillers with children, but not YA. I want adult stories of parents or something and children. #MSWL

I had no intention of attending #pitmad until @iamnicoleclarke pointed out that's where we found each other. So here I am, looking at #A, #OWN, #WF, #T, #S, #DV If I miss you hit me up with a query #MSWL

Since today's jam-packed schedule suddenly unpacked itself I'll be checking out #pitmad today. I'm eyeing #A #T #S #M #WF #MR #DV #MSWL

Most of my #pitmad likes today will probably be for #A (adult), especially women's fiction, suspense, thriller, mystery... #MSWL
