Hello, everyone. I'm now open to queries. Visit www.triciaskinner.com/manuscript-w... to see my #mswl . Please note I'm only seeking adult fiction.

"Send in your stylish mysteries and thrillers. I want bold, fun, and clever takes on the genre’s common tropes like KNIVES OUT, KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE, and WHITE COLLAR. I'm looking for the next THE BIG SLEEP by Raymond Chandler."

High, high, HIGH on my 2026 wish list is YA SFF, a cast of characters with distinct personalities, mayhem, pirates, humor, and protagonists with hearts of gold who are also a little too clever for their own good.

You know what I'm seeking? TREASURE PLANET. Please send me anything that comps! #MSWL

"Send me romantasy with strong fantasy and romance elements – it needs to have solid worldbuilding and plot as well as off-the-charts chemistry."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL
