In cozy mysteries, I want to see recent crimes not cold cases. I also want a protagonist-turned sleuth who is active vs. passive. Should be eager to find clues, solve the case, rather than just reacting to things around them. #MSWL

While I'm a cat lady & love to see cozy mysteries with sleuths w/ cats, or even better a cat-centered series hook (unique pet-themed businesses like a pet treat bakery, etc) I'm not anti-dog. Cats just win gold, dogs silver. Send me your cute furry friend-themed cozies #MSWL

I would love to see cozy mysteries set in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. Like a fictionalized version of Port Townsend, Friday Harbor, etc. #MSWL

Incoming thread about my #MSWL when it comes to cozy mysteries, and what I see working when I read published cozies. My @bookendslit query form--> QueryMe.Online/RachelBrooks

"Action-packed sci-fi with powerful characters & motivations. Bonus: A big sprawling world." @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

My current #mswl includes an ANDROMEDA STRAIN-esque (1969) survivor story 😊👍

I love these ideas! #MSWL

#MSWL

I would DIE for a YA about a teen girl obsessed with true crime. #MSWL

On my fantasy/scifi #MSWL I often say I like stories to play with time. This doesn't necessarily mean time travel. My FAVORITE movie/short story is Arrival/Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang. The way time is used in that RUINED ME in the best way. Play with big concepts like time.

This screams Detective Series and I am 1000% here for that. Someone write/draw it PLEASE #mswl

Now that @VeroniKaboom has explained it to me, I totally want a cinnamon roll protags in my m/m romance #MSWL #toopreciousforthisworld

#MSWL: I would love a scifi YA where--and just hear me out here--someone takes a werewolf and puts it ON the moon, and also puts a vampire on the sun, and somehow this makes sense.

YA You've Got Mail (alt: Shop Around the Corner) but with dating apps #MSWL

.@bookendslit has always been a leader in the cozy mystery market, but the one thing we are missing is more diversity in cozies. #Ownvoices authors, please bring us cozies (and mysteries of all kinds). #MSWL @RachMBrooks

"Non-fic like Clayton M. Christensen's THE INNOVATOR'S DILEMMA & Michael Lewis' FLASH BOYS." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

So narrative non-fiction seemed in demand at the Fair, but for some reason I am actually hankering for a fresh concept in pop-science right now! Send ‘em my way! 🤓 #mswl

Me too! Great article in the New Yorker from Molly Ringwald just makes me want it more. I’d also love to see a manuscript with the action and angst of Back to the Future. #MSWL

I am craving a gorgeous revenge fantasy in YA or Adult. #MSWL

Chatting with an editor this morning and talking about how badly I want a book that talks about sex for kids under 3rd grade (bc all the books I can find are for older readers) and my 5yo WANTS ANSWERS. #mswl
