I also love mysteries and thrillers that gravitate towards dark horror elements, like THE WHISPER MAN. One of my top reads so far this year. #MSWL

I've been on a #horror kick and would love some more in my inbox. I tend to gravitate towards psychological horror, or ghost stories. #MSWL

Think Jennifer McMahon, Hill House, Paul Tremblay.
I'm not one for demons and creatures or what have you.

I also *loved* LONG BRIGHT RIVER, and want to see a m/s/t that centers around addiction the way this one does.

On my TBR- THE HUNTING PARTY & THE SILENT PATIENT.
#MSWL

Adult #Mystery, #Thriller, #Suspense-- I love my dark mysteries and thrillers along the lines of Tana French. I will never do a #MSWL without Tana French's name. Ever. I've read a ton of Ruth Ware this year, and loved it all.

i'm also here for smart rom coms and women's fiction, bright and joyful and swoony and fresh. unexpected love that comes in all shapes and sizes. real people, real dilemmas, real dreams. i just devoured RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE and oh my god, yes, everything about that book. #MSWL

This floof needs to be the MC in a #PB! 😍 #MSWL

Literary MG, whether that's contemporary (a la Corey Ann Haydu) or an animal POV (PAX), I want the books that are going to pull at my heartstrings but leave me uplifted. I'd also love to see something girly (UNICORN QUEST) or with complex puzzles (BENEDICT SOCIETY). #MSWL

PLOT!! This is a general wish. Send me your beautifully written stories with complex characters. But for goodness sake, let there be plot! I want characters to not only have interior obstacles but exterior ones as well, and to have changed in some way by the last page. #MSWL

An #ownvoices thriller, filled with twists and turns and an ending that gives me whiplash. I think we've seen enough unreliable narrators. I want a narrator who knows what's up but is in great jeopardy. #MSWL

Where are you, today's Nora Ephron? I'm wishing for a narrative non-fiction project (memoir/essays) that tackles what women are facing today, written with wit and humor and profound insight. I want to feel like I'm talking to my smartest best friend. #MSWL

Agents, I also have a much longer doc of #mswl + recent favorite reads -- email me!

Climate change is THE issue of our time, but how can we deliver it in an escapist read? If you know, send it my way! #MSWL

I love a closed set. Think MAZE RUNNER and WILDER GIRLS. Stories with with an exciting, creepy, high-stakes setting that drives plot. (And I know the perfect editor to send this to...LOL) #MSWL

Same #MSWL

send me a dark, twisty, literary thriller, YA or adult - a complicated narrator that i hate to love or love to hate. i'm a gigantic kate morton fan and would l-o-v-e that kind of dual timeline sweeping generational mystery. please. seriously. PLEASE. #MSWL

Fantasy, but make it fresh: unique settings, unusual formats, underrepresented mythology, magical realism, paranormal (yes, paranormal!). I've seen a lot of queries comping to GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE and MY LADY JANE. Keep 'em coming! #MSWL

Deliver me LGBT+ YA stories that leave the reader joyful. Plots that are fun, invigorating, and clever. I'd love to read an LGBT love or friendship story that's incredibly well written and makes me feel HAPPY afterward. #MSWL

Oh hell yes #mswl

Contemporary YA! Especially commercial and high concept YA that can be pitched as x meets y. Especially especially a rom com. The next TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE, a younger RED, WHITE, & ROYAL BLUE, etc. Diverse voices!

I'd love to see supernatural & ghost stories, adult or YA. Bring on the eery, haunting, or Gothic. #MSWL
