Hello, my spookers! Do you love ghosts even half as much as I do? Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book-- you name it, I'm here for it. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Actively seeking fun / funny gift books, especially with a lifestyle twist to them. Open to a really wide range of topics on this one, so be creative! #MSWL

Literary Agent
I’m looking for more cozy mysteries, particularly ones centering around siblings and involving a sweet twist! Maybe they’re siblings running a bakery, or the local baker dies mysteriously + the siblings need to solve the murder while keeping the bakery afloat. You tell me! #MSWL

Literary Agent
If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, please send your submission my way. Whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Where are my Midwest writers? Ope, didn’t see you there! If you have a contemporary family drama set in the Midwest (especially in my home state of Wisconsin), please send it my way. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Dark, twisted, borderline disturbing… these are all words I’d use to describe my interest in thrillers + my internet search history. Not really looking for gore at the moment, but definitely into psychological elements. Especially fictionalized accounts of actual crimes. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Actively seeking more pop psychology and fun self help projects, especially from a qualified position (i.e. therapist, psychologist, life coach, etc). I love books that can provide tangible ways to improve yourself, while also being considered a fun read. #MSWL

A #MSWL for #NationalParanormalDay: I'd love some nonfiction about ghosts at the moment. Think GHOSTLAND, only even spookier! Creepy exploration of ghost stories and where they come from (but also so scary it gives me chills)

Literary Agent
Would love a cozy mystery where two sisters take over their family’s small-town bookstore and are determined to solve the disappearance of their favorite customer #MSWL

Literary Agent
Would love to see some true crime, especially with a personal angle. Some of my favorites:
- I'LL BE GONE IN THE DARK (McNamara)
- IN COLD BLOOD (Capote)
- WHO KILLED THESE GIRLS? (Lowry) #MSWL

Is your thriller so scary that working on it even freaks YOU out? DM me and let's chat. #MSWL

Looking for thrillers-- specifically ones involving serial killers. The darker it is, the more I'll love it. #MSWL (DM with questions)
