I would love to work with you if you're open to collaboration, interested in a career in publishing and not just publishing one book, and if you think what I already know is worth using to your benefit. What I know is how to build brands. :)

I want to feel things; I want to care about your characters, even if they're crappy people; I want to put your book down and immediately want to call someone to discuss it.

The broad strokes: I'm looking for commercial fiction. Romance. Thriller/suspense. "Women's fiction." YA that satisfies for actual young adults and an adult reader too.

I suppose it's time for me to jump in fully to #MSWL life. So here's my link: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-item/arie…

Amazing and congratulations to your daughter! I played the violin for years, so this warms my heart 😊

Another #MSWL but make it YA/NA and haunting 👻🎶

All I want in my YA is my stoners, slackers, skateboarders, alt-kids, ravers, taggers, fun loving and reckless teenagers! #mswl

I recently shared my #MSWL so in honor of mswl day I’m just gonna put this here 😊

Happy #mswl day! Always looking for adult suspense, obsession, mystery, thriller, and book club. 📚manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/lori…

The Overnight Guest, The Golden Couple, The Violin Conspiracy, Tana French, Attica Locke, Kia Abdullah, Mary Kubica, and Emily St. John Mandel. (5/5) #MSWL

Titles and authors that inspire James’ list include, in no particular order: True Biz, Portrait of a Thief, Pachinko, Station Eleven, The Push, My Sister the Serial Killer, Miracle Creek, More Than You’ll Ever Know, In My Dreams I Hold a Knife, Babel (4/5) #MSWL

and a sentence that sticks with you. In all genres, James is looking for works that feature diverse, marginalized, and/or underrepresented voices. (3/5) #MSWL

James is seeking upmarket/book club fiction, mystery, suspense and thrillers. Some things he is drawn to in a novel are commercial, high-concept plots, exciting settings, fast pacing, a fresh spin on a familiar trope, grounded speculative elements, rich prose (2/5) #MSWL

Soooo, my #MSWL lately... Give me LET THE RIGHT ONES IN, the Goonies, 80s era, 90s era, unexpected magic!

Giving my #MSWL thread a boost today!

Can't wait to read more of your stories! 💕

P.S. Forgot to mention, I'm all about complicated stories that explore gray areas. I center under-represented voices. And I'm a big fan of joy! Joy in the everyday and joy for everybody!

To authors paying attention to #MSWL, here's my shoutout to MAKE SURE YOU VISIT THE AGENT'S WEBSITE & FOLLOW THEIR SUB REQUESTS TO THE LETTER!

For myself, I NEVER accept queries via email, so if you email me w/a query, it will always get deleted without reading or responding.

Though I'm still closed to queries & will open BRIEFLY in April for Hist Fic & YA Myst/Thrillers, here's my full #MSWL. I'll open again after my brief April opening & will want everything on this list and more! So work on your queries and edit those pages!

#MSWL I’d love to see more stories set on or near the ocean, stories with set time frames, high stakes and clear motives! Stories set on other planets would be fun too!
