Here’s what I’d love to find in my inbox:
A stellar suspense manuscript written by a POC.
The suspense shelf is full of white women, and while they are very talented, we definitely need to diversify this section of the bookstore.

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

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

Literary Agent
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!

Literary Agent
I would love to see more diversity in my inbox generally, but especially in both YA and Adult Suspense/Thrillers. #mswl

Literary Agent
Going to keep tweeting this until I see it!! I really want more YA and Adult Suspense & RomCom submissions from BIPOC writers! #mswl

Literary Agent
I'd really like to see more diversity in RomCom & Suspense queries. Please! #mswl

Lauren is open to queries on QM! @laurenspieller
I signed a new client less than 2 weeks ago and I'm already ready to do it again. If you're starting to query, please keep me in mind! #WritingCommunityI'd really like to see more suspense/thriller submission from POC. #mswl #WritingCommunity

Literary Agent
I open to queries on Friday 4/1! I have a full manuscript wishlist you can see on the #MSWL website, but here are the items I'm looking for in particular:
--Adult suspense & RomCom
--YA contemp w/ a BIG commercial hook
--MG fantasy
I look forward to hearing from you!

Literary Agent
One of the things I'm interested in doing A LOT MORE OF when I reopen to queries on 9/1/21 is ADULT fiction, specifically:
Adult Suspense
Adult RomCom
Adult SFF/H.
So if you're writing any of these, *please* query! #mswl

Literary Agent
Thanks to a chat with @jennychen_jc, I now have the perfect way of describing the kind of upmarket suspense I want to read:
"Roselle Lim, with a body Body Count" 😂

Writers! I am craving adult books. Send me your contemporary romance + romcoms, your suspense and thrillers, your horror + SFF, and your non-fic as long as it has a platform! I’m also very interested in reading genre bending books, so send those too! #mswl

Literary Agent
2. Adult thrillers/suspense: I like stories w/ top notch characterization + a slow burn, and also stories that are gripping page turners that I finish in one sitting. A few favorites: Ruth Ware, Rhiannon Navin, Wendy Heard, Gillian Flynn, Danya Kukafka, Oyinkan Braithwaite #mswl

Literary Agent
I’m only open to queries for a few more days (closing 8/15!). Here is what is at the top of my wishlist:
-High concept middle grade
-LatinX YA
-kidlit graphic novels
-Adult RomCom w a great hook
-Adult female driven suspense + thrillers
#mswl

Literary Agent
I’d love to see more non-white thriller and suspense writers in my inbox! #mswl

Literary Agent
I can't find a tweet for it, but I also really want more dark, twisted suspense/thrillers a la Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware, Wendy Heard, and Lauren Beukes. If it crosses over into horror, that's great too! #QuarantineMSWL (7/?)

Rounding up a few #mswl tweets that I will now think of as my official #QuarantineMSWL (1/?)
