Querying authors! I'm looking for more mystery and suspense in my query box. Cozies, historicals, domestic and psych suspense. Find me here to submit a query: QueryMe.Online/AmandaJain. #mswl

I would love a book-length project on this topic. *hint hint* #mswl

Someone PLEASE write about Virginia Irwin and then query me. It's a story that would work in both fiction and nonfiction. #MSWL

#MSWL for sure

#MSWL call for diverse mysteries like Kellye Garrett's Detective by Day, Tina Kashian's Kebab Kitchen, and Vivien Chien's Noodle Shop Mystery series.

#MSWL Madness continues over on the BookEnds blog, and my post is up today! Go take a peek to get an idea of what I'm currently looking for. #amwriting #amquerying

Also, authors with diverse historical romance in particular, wave your hands if I don't see you! #PitMad #MSWL

Another #mswl for you that I'll keep retweeting until the end of time. If you write the kind of travel / history books like Tony Horwitz's BLUE LATITUDES and A VOYAGE LONG AND STRANGE, or Rinker Buck's THE OREGON TRAIL, I wanna see it!

There are hints of springtime in the air, so I'd love to see some outdoorsy romance or women's fiction. Give me competing archaeologists, park rangers, adventure guides, farmer's market rivals, anything! #mswl #mswlmadness

After a convo on Twitter last week with an author, I keep thinking of a book that's a mashup of the movies Bad Moms and Shaun of the Dead. Does one exist that someone could rec? If not, #mswl. #mswlmadness

#MSWL

I would love to see a super atmospheric Southern Gothic novel in my inbox! #mswl

Contemporary or historical romance with a hint (or more) of magic. #mswl

I'd also really love to find a contemporary mystery where the setting is an equally important component of the story. Think Jane Harper's THE DRY. #mswl #amwriting #amquerying

Further to my earlier #mswl posts, the Gravy podcast is one of my very, very favorites. If you're writing a narrative nonfiction book in this vein, I'd love to see it. #amwriting #amquerying

Last, but not least, the book of my heart, the one I keep searching for. If you have a GONE GIRL take on Jane Austen's world, WHERE IS IT and why don't I have it yet??

If you write books with a hint of magic or otherworldliness, I wanna see them! Books like THE COTTINGLEY SECRET, THE ESSEX SERPENT, or A SECRET HISTORY OF WITCHES.

In narrative nonfiction, I'd love to see more food-centered books, especially those exploring forgotten aspects of our food history or that look at the intersections of race, feminism, and food. Think THE COOKING GENE or WHAT SHE ATE.

I'm also still looking for that super quirky, modern take on the traditional English village murder mystery.

In mystery, again, I love historicals! Especially those with strong women who kick ass and take names. Think Deanna Raybourn and Sherry Thomas.
