#MSWL ! And you can find more at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ab...

I'm back open to queries for a limited time! My #mswl is online & robust but I loved seeing other agents using visuals so here is mine. If your ms has similar themes / writing / audience as these, I'd love to see it. Thanks for the chance with your words!

Catch-all #mswl: Adult mystery/thrillers, book club/upmarket, women's, historical, & contemporary fiction. Make me laugh and cry, transport me to someone else's life, surprise me. Some faves are here, come join them on my shelf: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/abby…

Queries reopen 12/1!

Mystery #mswl: Golden Age inspired cozy-leaning (with modern sensibilities)... yes please! Make me think of Christie or Marsh or (newer!) Osman and I'll be over the moon.

Queries reopen 12/1!

Women's/Commercial Fic #mswl: finding out the life she thought she knew or wanted or built is not all it seems (either bc mystery! or bc she grew up / stopped lying to herself / faces a crossroads). Foodie, feminist, family (found family counts!) all faves

Queries open 12/1!

Historical Fic #mswl: an unseen avenue into a popular historical moment (a job, a place, a person we haven't seen before giving new insight into a time we're maybe familiar with). Dual timeline, mystery/Gothic-leaning, female-driven all delicious bonuses

Queries reopen 12/1!

Evergreen #mswl: character-driven mystery/thriller which leads me one way and then springs a trapdoor of a twist (ala Brianna Labuskes, Ruth Ware, Riley Sager, etc)

Queries reopen 12/1!

Hey #amquerying authors! I’ve gotten lots of ?s about when I’m reopening. It’ll be December 1! I’ll post reminders and current #mswl between then and now, and I’m already excited to curl up with your words this winter. More soon!

Last night mostly made me crave more - and more recognition for - women's stories. (And yes, I'm very proud to look at the next 7 months of @LarkWords releases and see all female-driven projects.) #MSWL

I'm so excited to open back up to queries next week (1/18!)! My online #mswl continues to be a great place to find out what I like, and I'm definitely looking for thrillers that make me go 😱, historicals that make me go😭🥰, and contemporary fiction that makes me go 🧐😍

These are very very worth seeing, and #MSWL

This image came up as part of cover discussions for an upcoming book and... yes. #mswl forever!

.@LarkWords is again open to queries! I’m retweeting my latest #MSWL tweets because they still apply... looking forward to seeing your words!

#MSWL !

As always, the most important things I want are harder to define and defy plot. These are characters who feel real, a world that I get lost in, and incredible, unputdownable writing. #MSWL I can't wait to see what you've got! larkwords.com/how-to-query

I'd really like a female-driven thriller that has a new take on the "maybe I can't trust the [partner/friend/parent] I trust most in the world" trope, ideally in a stunning setting (mountains! island! creepy manor on the moors!) #MSWL

Women's fiction: I'm game for almost anything, but I'd love for it to be a bit swoony and totally transportive #MSWL

I am wishing for some realistic and transportive literary fiction, grounded in the messy reality of human lives (past or present) - think THE GREAT BELIEVERS or A LITTLE LIFE #MSWL

For mystery, I'm craving a Golden Age-inspired mystery but with a dark/bleak plot - Agatha meets Tana #MSWL

I'd love an #ownvoices upmarket 20th C historical fiction - ideally with a secret something that has to be revealed (I'm thinking ala Lovecraft Country without the Lovecraftian horror/fantasy elements, which is ridiculous to say but I want it) #MSWL
