Going to keep tweeting this until I see it!! I really want more YA and Adult Suspense & RomCom submissions from BIPOC writers! #mswlPlease this is also my #mswl Lauren just said it first :)

I would really love an adult domestic suspense with a more pop/upbeat tone! Not everything HAS to be dark and gritty (even if itβs my natural home). Fuck, letβs get some Jawbreaker vibes up in here, writers! Not just a sardonic alcoholic with witty barbs - actual hilarity! #mswl

Kiki Says New Adult is Deader Than Dead @kianangu
For the rest of 2020, Iβm mainly focused on acquiring more adult projects to my list. Particularly Horror, Domestic Suspense thrillers (not FBI/CIA/govt agency), and Womenβs Fiction focused on QPOC in their 20s/30s (no divorcΓ©es).I want like...Broad City but more grit and queer and QPOC!!! #mswl

I've been seeing a lot of fantasy in queries and I'd love contemporary in the YA & Adult space! Also, looking for more Women's Fiction, Domestic Suspense (think Dark Places), and Romance! Though less rom-com and more steamy - really, anything that's not too sweet! #mswl

Am I the Asshole? @AITA_reddit
AITA for asking my husband to turn down his dream job for my career? bit.ly/3gEHIQ2 pic.twitter.com/Xqtw6m56A3BRUH, imagine this as a domestic suspense thriller? The stakes, tension, mystery surrounding a newly dead spouse or the fear a spouse has that their partner would commit murder to protect their job...I WANT IT!!! #mswl

Iβd love to see more non-white thriller and suspense writers in my inbox! #mswlPiggybacking - I want this (no CIA/FBI/investigative thrillers) with QPOC outside of suburbia, please and thank you! Also applies to horror!! #mswl

Going down a YA murder mystery rabbit-hole & I canβt help but wonder what a YA suspense from the killerβs perspective would read like, with readers totally unaware until the end. It would take a crazy level of plotting and imagination to pull it off & have it be a surprise. #MSWLWriters, if you write this, Iβd love to get it in my queries! #mswl

An adult domestic suspense centered around a black hair salon/barbershop #mswl
