#MSWL A YA thriller/mystery in the vein of Angeline Boulley with deep layers of character, story, and theme.

#MSWL A YA contemporary with new Deb Caletti vibes.

#MSWL An MG with “The Naturals” vibes for a younger reader. Standalone or standalone with series potential preferred.

#MSWL A relationship dynamic with Jack and Kim vibes from “Kickin' It.” Bonus if it’s an MG crush/first love story. If you know, you know.

#MSWL An NA or YA in the vein of “Whistleblower,” “Love, Off the Record,” or “Most Eligible” with hard-hitting investigative journalism and/or wild undercover antics. As a former college newspaper editor, I’d love a unique, never-been done story and complex, compelling characters.

Happy February! I’m still open to queries! Reposting my MSWL and the thread of some of my dream #MSWL items again. Yes, this thread is repeated and I don’t care. I look forward to reviewing all your submissions!

Just some #mswl vibes I’m feeling today - if you have a book like one of these, email me your query and first three chapters at aelliott@movabletm.com!

"Send me cozy mysteries like THE BOOK CLUB MURDERS by Leslie Nagel."

I’m super in the mood for a good mystery right now - send me all the upmarket mystery, especially if it’s got a speculative bent! #mswl

Now reopened to queries! Updated my #mswl with everything I’m looking for but the pic shows my number 1 type of story/genre. This does not exclude the rest of my MSWL tho! #writingcommunity

"I’m craving intricately told stories—whether that be puzzle pieces or interpersonal drama or worldbuilding, I’m looking for many moving pieces."

"I would love fantasies with unique magic systems, strong characters, and stories inspired by myth or folklore, particularly outside the Western canon."

The Last Party was dark and twisty, and I’d love to see something similar in my queue! #MSWL

#MSWL - This is the sort of scary AI stuff I'm looking for when I wrote this on my MSWL blog post:

"Grounded on our world (and not too far in the future) science fiction with technology that will terrify humans and/or potentially make them extinct."

😨

"I'm interested in health, wellness, humor, sports, pop culture, pop science, and pop psychology."

Like a cake, a good book has layers. THE MEMORY CAKE is an great example of a book with layers. Themes and hooks include intergenerational, history, war, family, and food. I can't recommend this book enough. If you have something this moving please send it to me. #mswl
