Lauren Is CLOSED To Queries

Um yes. Me too. #mswl

Can't do #pitdark today but I *WANT* you to query me with:

--spooky MG
--dark academia in YA/Adult
--grounded, scary YA Fantasy
--thrillers/suspense in YA/Adult
--Adult Horror

I am especially keen to find these written by BIPOC! We need more of those voices on shelves! #mswl

I'd really like to see more suspense/thriller submission from POC. #mswl #WritingCommunity

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

My kingdom for a thriller with a juicy hook. #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/?)

A few misc #MSWL items

-MG that's spooky and lovely
-YA LatinX RomCom
-Adult thriller with a BIG hook
-Adult space horror

FEED MY INBOX

I want a thriller set in a small space. Make me feel their claustrophobia. #mswl

#mswl 💅

If you’re querying a thriller, I want to see it. #pitmad #mswl

I'd love to find a super high concept YA thriller in my inbox. #mswl

I would like to see more psychological thrillers in YA #mswl

If you have a fantasy or a sci-fi or a thriller with horror elements, I really really really want to read it #mswl

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

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! 📚
