#MSWL Here’s what I’m looking for right now!

👻 Horror: make it scary. Also trope defying 🔪 Serial killers

🌟 Amazing Self-Improvement (Martha Beck, James Clear)
📖 Compelling Narrative
💼 Business (esp. women led 👩‍💼)

I want a quirky, humorous picture book. That definitely uses kid logic. #MSWL

Now open for queries! Looking for commercial and upmarket mystery/thriller with a dash of horror, possible speculative elements. Think THE HOUSEMAID, THE WRITING RETREAT, THE PUSH. querytracker.net/query/3237 #writingcommunity #amwriting #writers #MSWL #Mysterywriters #thrillers #booksky

I’d love to see some more propulsive thrillers with a feminist edge in my inbox #MSWL

My favorite fantasy trope ever is the Planet of the Apes twist, i.e. when your strange and old timey fantasy world is secretly the future. Send me that please! #mswl

Something I can’t get enough of is REALITY TV with a SFF, horror, or thriller/mystery element. #mswl

Think The Selection, Hunger Games, though doesn’t have to be YA.

Not a fit for contemporary romance reality TV. It needs a genre element to really pique my interest.

Also, I am still so obsessed with idea of poison dresses and using "female" arts (sewing, knitting, etc) for spy craft. Cold War spy novel in a fantasy book, not focused on a princess? #MSWL

Comedic fantasy, if that is a thing? Like I want a high fantasy book, but like what if it is a high school reunion and you are the failed chosen one? Why do we take high fantasy so seriously? #MSWL

a cool retelling or homage to THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO #MSWL

Also, I need a lady knight book. Maybe in a contemporary? #MSWL #YA

Also, I really like unlikable characters. They have to be relatable, and morally grey, but wow are they complex. #MSWL #YA

Mermaids.

Predators of the deep. Soft mermaids who never go in the water.

Give me mermaids, please! #MSWL #YA #MG

Also, I really was not a fan of being first gen as a kid. I kind of push backed on German culture because I wanted to fit in with my peers. MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING but MG and #ownvoices for your culture. Because sometimes it is hard being caught between two worlds. #MSWL

And also a friendship break book that also happens to be set in the 90s, and their friendship might be ending because the Spice Girls broke up. But you know... #MSWL #MG

And I need a soft Halloween/Fall/Cottagecore book. Cozy and sweater weather. #MSWL

This one is really specific now, because someone told me what a con medic is and I cannot stop thinking about it.

For the love of all, someone give me a con medic book. #MSWL
