Rosecliff Literary

Y'all know Jess always wants gothic vibes. Old houses, eerie landscapes, creeping dread. Horror? Mystery? Literary? Doesn’t matter. If your book feels like a haunted house you can’t leave, send it. #MSWL

Not just office romance—Jessica wants workplace fiction with real stakes. Power struggles, high-pressure environments, complications that cut deep. Give her tension, drama, and narrative gold. #MSWL

RL's Query Inbox has started texting its ex. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
It just whispered, “Hey… you up?” to an old synopsis draft. It’s thinking about getting bangs. It’s one rejection away from posting vague song lyrics to its Instagram story. Please send your books before it spirals. #mswl #queryme

Dark romance? Like…real dark? Yes. Spicy sports romance? Extra points if it’s unhinged.
If your book has tension that makes people feral, Jess wants it. #MSWL

🖤 Tommy’s always here for crime novels with anti-heroes. Give him leads who should walk away but don’t. The ones who know better but can’t help themselves. Morally gray, ethically messy, impossible to forget. #MSWL

🚨 Tommy Dean’s Spring #MSWL is here. 🚨 He’s looking for crime, mystery, suspense, and thrillers that pull him under and refuse to let go. High stakes. Big consequences. Characters with pasts that won’t stay buried.

Spring wishlist: Jessica wants thrillers that wreck you. Domestic suspense where the walls are closing in. Social thrillers that cut deep. Psychological horror that lingers. If your story makes readers question everything, send it. #MSWL

Jess is craving contemporary historical (1960s-90s) with a voice. Think Demon Copperhead but for another era. Literary-leaning, immersive, and the kind of book people argue about. #MSWL

We’re open to everything (except AI books, obviously). But if you want to make us feral with excitement, check out our seasonal wishlist. The next one drops March 1.
Think of it like a cheat code for our inbox. We’ll still read everything though :) #MSWL #AmQuerying

#MSWL : Psychological thrillers. If I don’t start doubting everyone by chapter three, what are we even doing? Bonus points for unreliable narrators, characters making very bad decisions, and at least one scene where I gasp out loud. 🔍😵 #amquerying

#MSWL : Thriller rom-com? Mystery rom-com? Say less. High stakes, sharp banter, and just enough danger to make the romance hit harder?! If your book feels like a heist, a scandal, or a crime gone delightfully off the rails with kissing? Yes. 🔪💋 #amquerying

#MSWL : Nonfiction that turns me into that person at dinner parties. Cold War spy games, true crime that makes me triple-check my locks, pop culture deep dives that make people say how do you even know this? If it sends me into a research spiral at 2 AM, I’m in. #amquerying (1/n)

This Valentine’s season, we’re choosing queries over romance. Because:
❌ Love is complicated.
✅ Querying is… also complicated.
🔥 But at least querying might love you back.
Tomorrow. Be ready. #WhoNeedsLoveWhenYouHaveQueries #mswl #rosecliffliterary

💀 Some love stories are messy.
💌 Some books rewrite the rules.
🔥 Some heartbreaks deserve their own novel.
If that sounds like your manuscript, we need to talk.
Tomorrow.
#WhoNeedsLoveWhenYouHaveQueries

What if your manuscript is exactly what we’re waiting for, but you don’t send it because you think it’s not on the list? 👀 Spoiler: Our MSWL is a starting point, not a fence. We love all story. #queryme #MSWL

WWII gets a lot of love, but we want untold eras and hidden histories. Historical fiction that spotlights overlooked perspectives or extraordinary moments? We’re hooked. 🕰️ #MSWL
