Suspense/Mystery/Thriller set at a vacation destination #mswlGloomy, threatening, or naturally dangerous settings can go a long way in a thriller. But there’s something terrifying about bad things happening in beautiful, “safe” locations we associate w/ escape. This is a #mswl tweet but also promo for YOU CAN TRUST ME by @wendydheard
Literary Agent
Beautifully written or Upmarket Adult fantasy/SF/horror that would appeal to a book club audience. Think MEXICAN GOTHIC, STATION ELEVEN, or THE STARLESS SEA. #mswl
Literary Agent
Adult Romance w a hint of magic or a genre element. Think THE DEAD ROMANTICS, THE EX HEX, or ONE LAST STOP. #mswl

I am out of ways to tell traditional publishing they need to buy more trans girl YA but holy shit how are you still buying one a year at BEST.Don't tell me no one is subbing it because I will literally hand you one I am dying to see bought and then it's gonna get weird.
I would love to see more of these stories in my inbox. #mswl

I found these AI generated "women laughing with salad" posted on FB and they are clearly the pinnacle of the genre (1/2) pic.twitter.com/G9sRTRtsZmI keep thinking about this, so #mswl for monstrous females

I want an escapist book that gives me the same feeling I get watching White Lotus. Fantastic characters, a gripping plot, and a fabulous location. maybe it’s a thriller, maybe it’s a drama, maybe it’s a little bit of both, maybe it’s something else entirely! #mswl

Love to get an email saying that there are so many bones in the graveyard that they're not only attempting to escape vertically, but laterally, and are causing the city council an enormous headache as skeletons attempt to smash through retaining walls and flee into the streets.#mswl 👀

If you’ve written a romance with a TOUCH of magic…or horror…or a thriller element…I want to read it. Gimme your genre benders! #mswl

#mswl — my goal for 2023 is to sign a suspense novel written by a BIPOC author. We need more of your books on shelves.

Lauren Spieller is open to queries! @laurenspieller
Okay YA Twitter, where is my spooky YA fantasy? Where’s my ghost story? My haunted house? My deadly secrets? My poison book? I want vibes, people! VIBES!But also a plot that works and strong character development and a magic system that functions.
And VIBES! pic.twitter.com/NXnijrJ8gu

My full #mswl can be found on the agency website but here’s what I’m especially looking for in 2023:
—Adult + YA RomCom that are FUNNY AF *or/and* Adult Romance w a magic/spec twist
—Suspense/Thrillers (we need more queer and POC rep in this category!)
—MG Fantasy! All kinds!

I’d love to find a genre-bending romance in 2023. Think Ash Poston or Casey McQuiston. #MSWL

I have just learned about the existence of Kaleidoscope on Netflix and I don’t even need to watch it to say it is going on my #mswl. A heist that plays w structure? Yes yes yes.

FYI fellow writers with questionable search histories: I've found this book an excellent resource. It's beautifully illustrated and designed, with great historical and scientific info. Trigger warning for a few surprise photos of dead bodies. pic.twitter.com/Ue9qYT9wNeIf you used this or a similar book as research for your novel, I want to read it. #mswl
