I want an atmospheric mermaid book. I have been so picky in this area because my brain knows what it wants but I haven't seen it. #MSWL

Perennial ask: Ren Faire. #MSWL

SO I found out about true crime conferences, and I cannot stop thinking about a murder mystery that takes place at a conference where everyone is an armchair detective. #MSWL

#MSWL but not about Mario. Just the vibe. I dunno what that looks like but I can’t stop thinking about this idea, about the prior turn’s dead Mario spawning the 1-ups for the happy, unaware next Mario, who may himself fall and feed the next Mario… 😳

Gloomy, threatening, or naturally dangerous settings can go a long way in a thriller. But there’s something terrifying about bad things happening in beautiful, “safe” locations we associate w/ escape. This is a #mswl tweet but also promo for YOU CAN TRUST ME by @wendydheard

Agents, I'd love to see more horror submissions from marginalized voices, especially ones based around their local/cultural folkfore and/or social issues. #mswl

Beautifully written or Upmarket Adult fantasy/SF/horror that would appeal to a book club audience. Think MEXICAN GOTHIC, STATION ELEVEN, or THE STARLESS SEA. #mswl

Would really love more Romance in my query inbox! I love a lot of sexual tension in my romances. Would also love to speak/take pitches at romance-focused events #mswl

Adult Romance w a hint of magic or a genre element. Think THE DEAD ROMANTICS, THE EX HEX, or ONE LAST STOP. #mswl

Suspense/Mystery/Thriller set at a vacation destination #mswl

Someone please make this a horror story! #MSWL

I would love to see more of these stories in my inbox. #mswl

For those of you looking for my #MSWL (wish list):

"I want fiction in the motherhood space with ANOTHER big layer (i.e. capitalism, race, health, disability etc)."

Need women-led southern fiction with the vibe of Tyler Childers singing “I don’t need the laws of man to tell me what I ought to do” 💅🏻 #mswl

I keep thinking about this, so #mswl for monstrous females

But please DON'T send me novels where someone dies with their inner turmoil tragically unresolved! I'm here for moral/emotional struggles that lead toward hope, if not happiness; not into screeds about the futility of existence and the impossibility of being truly good #MSWL

Send me your novels about guilt, shame, regret, seeking atonement, earning forgiveness; redemption arcs for someone who isn't necessarily a villain, but who has made choices with irrevocable consequences and has to find a way to live with their actions and keep going. #MSWL

I want an escapist book that gives me the same feeling I get watching White Lotus. Fantastic characters, a gripping plot, and a fabulous location. maybe it’s a thriller, maybe it’s a drama, maybe it’s a little bit of both, maybe it’s something else entirely! #mswl
