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

Adult commercial romance and adult thriller, please please please #MSWL

I'd love to see more thrillers from BIPOC authors. #MSWL

I'm also always hunting for thrillers. I tend to go for more traditional, governmental based thrillers than the psychological sort. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Has anyone written a ride share psychological thriller yet or are we just living in a collective one? #MSWL because it's my job, even though the real life scenario scares me to my bones.

Seeing some great #MSWL tweets today from agents I admire. In that spirit, I'd love to share some of mine!- MG or YA fiction with a character who might become AOC-- that spirit, that drive, that persistence would make for a great story!
- always looking for funny
#MSWL cont'd
- adult mystery or thriller in the procedural vein
- YA contemporary romance with a hook (leave that up to you!)

This is not to say I'm not also into YA. Send me some romantic, swoon-worthy, crackling, cackle-inducing YA, please! #MSWLOh and some edge of your seat, heart attack causing thrillers? OK thx bye. #MSWL

I'd love a classic assassin/ spy thriller updated for the 21st century. All the tech/ NSA / CIA tradecraft! #MSWL

#MSWL domestic thrillers. Female protagonists would be fab. Bigger than cozy, but homespun.
Literary Agent
Female-driven thrillers, but no one is a sociopath or a drunk. #MSWL
