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

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" 😂

#MSWL

I'm not able to participate in #PitDark but if you're querying:

Spooky MG
YA or Adult dark fantasy
YA or Adult suspense/thriller
YA or Adult horror

Consider this a request! #mswl

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

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

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

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

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/?)

I’d love to see more domestic suspense and psychological thrillers in my inbox! #mswl

#mswl for spring 2019! 🌸

*Contemp Fantasy in MG, YA, Adult

*Character driven SF in MG & Adult

*Female MC thrillers & suspense

*Jewish and LatinX folklore

*YA Contemp with a BIG hook

While I'm at it, it would ALSO be great to read a super smart, deviously plotted domestic suspense or psych thriller. #mswl

At the top of my April #mswl:

-middle grade with a crisp, authentic voice
-YA Contemporary with a big hook
-Adult suspense or psych thrillers

I’d love to see more domestic suspense in my inbox. #mswl

#mswl!!

I’d love to see more domestic suspense, psychological thrillers, and creepy thriller/horror in the vein of Lauren Beukes! #mswl

More specifically, I'm looking for:

--Adult SFF
--Upmarket Female-driven suspense and psychological thrillers #MSWL
--NF with a platform
