#MSWL Regency romcoms or thrillers with queer rep. Heavy on the thriller.

Hello BookEnds friends! (BookFriends?)

We're bringing back the #MSWL tweets!

The first is from @jmcgowanbks:

"I'd love to find a light and fun mystery like ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING, THE MAID, THE AFTERPARTY or THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB." 🔎

✨Hi I’m back OPEN to queries✨

I’ll make a #mswl thread throughout the day, but here are a few things I’d love to see:

✨romantic fantasies
✨assassins, spies, detectives
✨court fantasies (maybe w/fae)
✨YA contemp. retellings of 90s movies

I’m stoked to find new books!!

More BIPOC aristocracy in YA, that's what I'm saying. #MSWL

Last night mostly made me crave more - and more recognition for - women's stories. (And yes, I'm very proud to look at the next 7 months of @LarkWords releases and see all female-driven projects.) #MSWL

“Non-Fiction by BIPOC food writers.”  @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

things that i will forever have on my #MSWL
- sky pirates
- futuristic fantasy
- retellings of lesser-known folktales and myths
- contemporary YA with niche interests at the forefront
- found family

“In the wellness space, see some of the work I’ve been doing with Sophie Saint Thomas, specifically her books Finding Your Higher Self and The Little Book of CBD Self Care.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I just found out I have a great uncle who was a priest with a secret family (!) that no one knew about until after he died (!!), and now all I want to read is a family saga about the fallout from that whole *waves hands* situation #mswl

“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!” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

If I haven't already been clear, these are the kind of vibes I'm looking for in books! ❤️ #MSWL

“I enjoy light contemporary spec/fantasy. Think the CW’s Nancy Drew in book form.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Great question, Kim! Yes, I represent #MG #fantasy. That part of my #MSWL should be read [MG & YA (magical realism & SF)]. Cheers!

#MSWL

A #MSWL reminder that I DO rep adult work as well—contemporary fiction, romcoms, thriller/mystery, and horror—and am actively trying to build up that side of my list! 🧵

"In terms of non-fiction, I am looking for Psychology, Pop Culture, Science, Business, and Lifestyle from experts in their fields with an original angle. Proven expertise is a must.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"definitive biography of Robert Moses" is right there on my #mswl page (under "comprehensive history of the late Roman empire") so I'm surprised I haven't received a query from you yet Hanson

- If your protagonist is the girl from TIED TOGETHER WITH A SMILE, I wanna see it.

- Miss Americana and The Heartbreak King because YA, duh.

just for ref there are many people in UK publishing who are still intricately entwined with the """gender critical""" movement (a proven hate campaign against trans individuals). my DMs are open if you'd like to know more. I will always do my utmost to protect
