Today's #MSWL:
I'd love a literary mystery. Some twisty suspense that feels *new* and avoids the girl-gone-missing trope (or turns it on its head).
More #ownvoices, please!
HORROR/a fresh ghost story.
Yr big ensemble cast that will make me cry. Make me cry, dammit! 🤗

Ahoy, it's #MSWL day! Send me your dark, propulsive novels that play with genre. Beautiful, literary prose is a must; think Station 11, Her Body & Other Parties, etc. A campus novel that's so much more: like The Incendiaries, Secret History. Oh, & pls follow my query guidelines!

Update: there are so, so many white men in my query inbox. Going to take a look of course, but putting out a #mswl call now for women writers and particularly POC!

You know I love my dark, spooky lit but I'm also on the hunt for witty, whimsical, dare I say uplifting fiction. Huh, wonder why 🤷🏻‍♀️ #MSWL

Feeling thirsty for fiction. #MSWL today: rich writing, propulsive plot. Gothic or speculative (not straight-up sci-fi/fantasy). Immersive.

It's #MSWL day! Send me your feminist lit, fairy tales for adults, novels abt society's underbellies, literary prose w/ narrative momentum!

Hey, it's #MSWL day! Send me dark speculative fiction/literary prose with surreal or magical elements/a twisted society, rooted in reality.

Guys, #DarkMatter by @blakecrouch1 BLEW MY MIND. Fiance can attest to a million tiny gasps as I tore thru it. #MSWL trippy spec/sci-fi, pls!

Years behind but sooo glad I finally picked up @TanaFrench. Obsessed. #MSWL send me yr crazy-atmospheric upmarket thrillers, pls!

YES, THIS. @The_Millions nails my #MSWL: big, bold fiction that humanizes & reimagines historical eras. bit.ly/1WuFS4I GIMME, GIMME

Writers: I'm currently only accepting thrillers of the literary/psychological variety. No military/legal/political/etc. Thanks! #MSWL

On my 2016 #MSWL: more female authors! Too many best-of lists are still dominated by (straight, white) men. #WeNeedDiverseBooks #Binders
