I am starved for a detective novel with a unique spin. This is what I want in life. #mswl

Happy #MSWL day!

I really want more historical cozy mystery in my life since I have been reading it with a vengeance.

I would kill (not really) for a fresh take on a procedural novel series. Give me your unlikely duos. Your psychics. Your grouchy old timers. But in a new way. #MSWL

OK this is a specific one, but I want a book that feels like a Brandi Carlile song. #MSWL

If you're at all unsure if your project is the right fit, try me with a query anyway. I am always looking for debuts that feel fresh. #MSWL

I think I haven't mentioned what I'm looking for in a while: thrillers for adults and romance/rom-com for adults that have fresh hooks. Upmarket fiction from underrepresented perspectives. I am not open to expanding my children's list at the moment. #MSWL

Schitt's Creek is a romance novel.

I should be more transparent: I’d kill to see the adult contemporary romance novel version of Schitt’s Creek in my inbox #MSWL

There's a certain type of warm, comfortable fiction for adults that takes place in a bookstore (or similar environs) (like THE STORIED LIFE OF AJ FIKRY or anything by Jenny Colgan) that I'd love work on #MSWL

I'd particularly like to see more thrillers of all sorts featuring BIPOC protagonists. (I have asked for this in the past and received great submissions, and I cannot wait to see even more.) #MSWL

I'm craving things in my submissions that are joyful. Hard is everywhere. I want some light. #MSWL
