#MSWL: twisty, unputdownable YA thrillers, mystery and suspense. Think Tiffany D. Jackson, Courtney Summers, Karen McManus.

I’m eager to find YA thrillers, mysteries, psychological suspense that are brilliantly plotted. Think the work of Tiffany D. Jackson, Lamar Giles, E. Lockhart’s WE WERE LIARS, Karen McManus, etc. All would love to find original horror like WILDER GIRLS. #mswl

#tenqueries takeaways: 1) I'm getting a lot of YA fantasy, but I still like it. 2) though these particular thrillers weren't right for me, I'm interested in character driven adult and YA suspense/thrillers and would be eager to find a big, irresistible one. #mswl

Things I'd be particularly excited to find in #DVPit today: #ownvoices stories; MG mysteries; MG contemp; YA suspense; (1/?) #mswl

I'd love to find a MG like @BeattyAuthor's SERAFINA AND THE BLACK CLOAK. Suspensful, gothic, a great setting & unique characters. #mswl

In February, I did an agent feedback giveaway. Here's what I saw: tmblr.co/Z1DsEu23-zs8k #askagent #mswl #amquerying

#mswl -- I am still looking for grounded sci-fi suspense stories like EX MACHINA, THE MARTIAN, etc. Query me!

I'm excited to find some commercial adult fiction this year, especially speculative suspense and thrillers. petejknapp.com/post/128934360… #mswl
