#MSWL I gravitate towards commercial writing and writing with an upmarket bend. I’m specifically prioritizing BIPOC authors and stories, as well as LGBTQ authors and stories.

Send me all your messy relationships, intense yearning, eat the rich, good for her stories!

#MSWL I’m on the hunt for grounded, accessible science fiction and dystopias. Think clones, time travel, and new tech here on earth that are accessible to more general readers and explore near future-feeling possibilities.

I’d also love a science fantasy and second world science fiction!

#MSWL send me locked room and closed circle mysteries, bonus points for fun settings like theaters, trains, weddings, etc! I love thrillers of all kinds, I’m looking for toxic relationships and romantic elements that amplify the tension and mess. I love mess

#MSWL I love fantasies inspired by non-western folklore and cultures, and am on the hunt for C Drama inspired fantasy that captures a sweeping sense of history and high stakes relationships.

Send me all the alternate/parallel history fantasies, Studio Ghibli-esque fantasies, and fresh worldbuilding

#MSWL My top ask is for clear, inventive hooks! Across genres, I’m looking for big and original premises.

I’m seriously on the hunt for speculative book club fiction. Think grounded stories emotionally with a bit of genre edge!

Happy #MSWL Day!

I’m an associate agent at P.S. Literary building my list in SFF, horror, mystery/thriller, speculative, and book club fiction. More about my list here, and in the thread below: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/al...

Wake Up Dead Man is so so good, and it has me wanting to read all the closed circle mysteries. Especially if you have a closed circle mystery set in a theater or on a train #mswl

Think cloning and biohacking, near space travel, and time travel! I’m interested in near futures and familiar settings that amplify that under your skin feeling to explore our relationship to technology #mswl

LOVE the heightened isolation that you can explore in a closed circle mystery #mswl

I’m on the hunt for voicey narration, juicy drama, and emotions that are so big they feel like the end of the world. I love mess! #mswl

Would love to see death positive NF, big idea books with a ‘speculative’ bent to them, under explored histories, and all things astrology/tarot!! #mswl
