Hi everyone! I'm officially making the switch over to QueryManager to help lighten my inbox. You can find me at QueryManager.com/JenniferWeis and keep an eye out for a new #MSWL thread from me soon! Looking forward to reading!
Contemporary new adult writers, are you the next Elin Hilderbrand or Liane Moriarty? Can't wait to see what comes in this week! (4/4).
Forbidden love is a plus! YA writers, I love a good tear-jerker, but also an up-to-the-minute novel that gives us a look at 2021 teen-life, like THE HATE U GIVE. For me, YA is all about the character and their voice. (3/4).
Are the characters complicated and fresh but at the same time, familiar? I'm looking for a thriller that's pulse-pounding, a commercial novel that makes me forget I'm working, and a romance where the chemistry is palpable and builds throughout the book. (2/4)

The Sanatorium by Sarah PearseYou won’t want to leave. . . until you can’t.
“When guests at a five-star resort in the Alps disappear mid-blizzard, vacation’s over for detective Elin Warner. It’s The Shining but with a full house.” —People bit.ly/3bBGpRu @SarahVPearse pic.twitter.com/BieCor0lG8
I'm loving The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse. This exactly the kind of gripping story I'm looking for. Are you writing something similar? Pitch me! #mswl

Okay guys, I just got rejected. I feel for all of you—agents feel like you do when a potential client picks someone else, which just happened to me with a damn good domestic suspense novel. So I’m open for business to the best of you: Bring on a bestseller! #writingcommmunityBookclub fiction and suspense are top on my wish list. #MSWL
Are you a BIPOC woman writing a high-concept thriller set against an elite or luxurious background? We want to read it! #mswl #WritingCommunity
Thrillers, bookclub fiction, and books with contemporary relevance, narrative or otherwise, are on my #MSWL.
I want to be thrilled, stumped, mystified, turned on, and everything in between.
I’ve been sleeping a bit later these mornings, I confess, but waking with that eternal hope that the perfect novel awaits me in my inbox.
This is just a note to say, keep those queries coming! Because I'm at home, I'm reading MORE!
