Re-tweeting because it's still true! Sunshine Vicram, Finlay Donovan, bring me your ass-kicking, mystery solving, funny, independent women. #mswl

Next week is September which is practically October which is practically Halloween, so I declare spooky season officially open. Writers, bring me your witches, your murders, your haunted houses, your true crime, your spooky nonfiction. Bring it all. #mswl

I love the Sunshine Vicram series with my whole dang heart. If you're working on a fun mystery like those books, please keep me in mind when you query. #mswl

I'm working on a big, updated nonfiction #mswl post for my NF writing friends, but, in the meantime, this thread gives an idea of the types of projects I'll be looking for in 2022. Send 'em if you got 'em.

#MSWL

I'm early this year, and I don't care. All I've wanted to do in this blazing heat is wear sweaters, drink hot tea, and watch scary movies. So, start sending those spooky projects my way! I would be particularly interested in any murdery, gothic, witchy nonfiction books. #mswl

A couple of years might have gone by since this #mswl thread, but I'm still looking for nonfiction projects like these.

A visual #mswl for this fine Friday afternoon. Are you working on something like this? Send it!

It's been a minute since I've had a chance to do one of these visual #mswl tweets, but today's library haul seemed like the perfect excuse. If you're ready to query a project like one of these, I'd love to see it!

A few specific #mswl bits I'm on the hunt for at the moment: character-driven sci-fi (THE LAST WATCH), gothic horror (THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE), immersive mystery (Attica Locke's Highway 59 series), and journalistic nonfiction (Patrick Radden Keefe is a favorite).

Honestly I'm not even sure I care what the explanation ultimately is, but I definitely want to read how we got here. #mswl

Check out what our* agents are looking for in nonfiction! #mswl

*Apologies to those who saw the first tweet. That typo was making me crazy.

Send me your horror projects, please and thank you! #mswl

Is it just me or would this be a great book? #mswl

Please send me all of your stabby + sunshine books, please and thank you. #mswl

All of my library holds are coming in at the same time 🙃 but at least it's a great way to show the kinds of books on my #mswl.

I realize the vagueness of this #mswl, but I adore Melissa McCarthy with my whole being and I'd love to see some subs featuring protagonists that live with the same kind of heart, humor, and joy.

Re-upping this #mswl from a couple of years ago. I'd still love to see a historical romance set at Idlewild.

#MSWL for my NF writing friends. I am always, always open to stories about food and drink, especially those with a bit of a quirk to them like this!

They are a delight, please keep them coming! #mswl
