Lauren Is Open To Queries!, Agent, Triada US Literary Agency

I’m officially open to queries again! 🎉 I am especially eager to find MG, Adult thrillers, + upmarket Adult SFF. However, you can find my full wishlist (and submission guidelines) on the Triada website, MSWL website, or #mswl hashtag. I look forward to hearing from you! 📚

Last weekend's Saturday plans gave me a new #mswl request - a YA thriller set on Governors Island (or someplace similar) after dark!
A contained situation where safety is visible but out of reach 👍🏻
A ton of similar-looking buildings (disorienting but many places to hide!) 👍🏻

oh my gosh who is going to write this for meeee (and Kate) #mswl

YA
Thriller

@laurenspieller What are you hoping to see in your slush inbox in the coming months, anything in particular?

My #mswl is pretty extensive, but I really want more MG, adult thrillers, and crossover/adult SFF

I'm about to close to queries, but before I do, I'd really love to see some heartfelt MG in my inbox, along with twisty psychological thrillers & smart horror. #mswl

I want a book that truly messes with your perception of reality. Not just a psychological thriller, but a truly, mind-bending, House of Leaves-type book that blasts away all previous notions of what a book can be #MSWL

Oooo ditto #mswl

Thriller

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

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

#MSWL Lightning Round:

--MG with a unique hook and a focus on friendship

--f/f YA that explores the lines between friendship and romance

--Adult psychological thriller that *isn't* about a woman who might be crazy/imagining the whole thing

--Adult SFF that makes me cry
