Reminder, as we go into the weekend! My query policy changes Monday, #MSWL

"I'd love to see a voicey spin doctor narrative in adult fiction. Think the energy of the The Good Wife's Eli Gold."

if you have a YA written by a trans woman that comps to ethel cain's preacher's daughter I am begging to see it #MSWL

#mswl LitRPG, please! Why haven't I seen this in my inbox yet?

#MSWL but Amy is already writing it so ... ;)

Loving all the book recs, though more what I'm looking for are projects in the vein of these titles to represent, so please query me with your dark "bad mom" books! #MSWL

I want a novel about the ‘It’ Girls of yesteryear #mswl thecut.com/article/new-yo…

I have been waiting for this, and would LOVE to subs with this vibe in my inbox! #MSWL

Niche #MSWL: a novel that includes day trading as part of the plot!

I used to do a lot of adult nonfiction: celebrity memoirs, how-to books, popular science, pop culture.
I would like to do more of those. #mswl

If I didn’t mention something, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good fit. Unless it’s a genre I don’t represent, you’re more than welcome to query!

My submission guidelines are here: psliterary.com/submissions/

This is getting long, but all of this (and more) is now on my MSWL page:

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/rose…

Send me contemporary fiction that gets a little weird, like the virgin birth premise of SMALL PLEASURES, the animal illness of SHARK HEART and the eerie horror of OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA.

I love mystery thrillers that explore a ‘true’ crime and its repercussions. Think A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU and JACKAL.

I’m looking for upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues. THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING live rent-free in my brain.

I want gothic horror, space horror, psychological horror, folk horror, slasher horror, supernatural horror – scare me!

For science fiction, I’m looking for space opera and science fantasy like GIDEON THE NINTH, SOME DESPERATE GLORY and THE SCOURGE BETWEEN STARS. It doesn’t need to be fast and loud – TO BE TAUGHT, IF FORTUNATE is a favourite – but it needs to have major sf elements.

I’m always looking for EPIC FANTASY – give me big worldbuilding, multiple POVs, high stakes, and a cast of characters to get invested in.

Send me your cozy fantasy – meadows and cottages and stews and forests. I would love to see something Ghibli-esque that deals with big emotions and themes in a cozy setting.

Please don’t worry about something being too low or high heat to send to me. Different spice levels work for different books, and I’m open to all of it.
