#MSWL mermaids. I am looking for a lyrical, atmospheric mermaid as if Neil Gaiman wrote The Little Mermaid. But I don't want a retelling of The Little Mermaid. Give me something new that engages with mermaid myths

Okay we are doing an #MSWL. So first up: comps. If you have the hilarity of WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS, the romance and squee of BRIDGERTON, or the hijinx of BOB'S BURGERS I want it.

I have a ton of TV I love but it I am trying to think what I want that vibes.

"Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book—you name it, I'm here for it. Spook me!"

Anyone out there querying with a novel about Honor Lisle? #mswl

"I'm hungry for horror that leans on eerie, atmospheric, and unsettling. MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia will forever be a favorite in this space. I don't mind gore, but I'm typically not drawn to it."

I have a ton of political fantasy books in my inbox now, and while they are great fun, I am looking for other stuff too. I have great agents at my agency who like this sort of thing!

I’m also looking for some fun and light spooky MG vibes — like goosebumps meets ghost busters with a light adventure type theme? Super specific, I know. Any takers? 😂

I’m looking for deep POV atmospheric witchy esq novels with romance as one of the plot points — think Wild is the Witch and Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin! If you have something like this please send it my way!

Hey writers! I’m opening back up to queries tomorrow. I’ve switched up my MSWL a bit so I’m going to post it here! I’m also post some more specific things I’d love to see in my inbox 🥰 #writingcommunity #mswl #amquerying

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

"Send me science-based women's health, perinatal health, maternal health, and women's mental health like LIKE A MOTHER by Angela Garbes."

I am starved for a detective novel with a unique spin. This is what I want in life. #mswl

New nonfiction #MSWL : I’d love to see pitches/proposals for a book like Julie Smith’s WHY HAS NOBODY TOLD ME THIS BEFORE? but for physical personal care. Also could be described as the adult version of THE CARE AND KEEPING OF YOU.

"Send me cozy romance with a low speculative element (eg. THE EX HEX by Rachel Hawkins and WITCHFUL THINKING by Celestine Martin)."

And if you're writing horror, please keep me in mind. #MSWL

Apropos of nothing, if anyone has written a novel in the vein of Ruben Östlund’s “Force Majeure”, please may I read it. Avalanche (literal) not necessary. Avalanche (figurative) necessary.

The subversive cannibalism story I am 💯 percent here for. There's a small part of me that wants to hate how excited I am for this one but can't.

And while I'm at it, consider this a vibe for my #mswl (pls dear god don't make me regret this one...)
