I’m hungry for thrillers! I love complicated family dynamics and toxic friendships, especially tense mother/daughter relationships.

I would love to see something for fans of Wendy Walker or Lucy Foley. And more locked room thrillers!

For historical mysteries, I’m always looking for a feminist female protagonist.

I love anything mid 20th century.
Anything gothic is a plus. If it has body snatching, poisons, or fun elements like séances, like in SPITTING GOLD, I’d love to see it.

I only acquire in the adult space, to break down our imprints, I’m looking for the following:

Crooked Lane:
Thrillers, historical mysteries, cozy mysteries, and horror.

Alcove Press:
Historical fiction, speculative fiction and magical realism, bookclub fiction, and romantasy.

It’s the fall autumnal months, which is when I really come alive 🎃

So here is an updated #mswl 🧵

#MSWL obviously

#mswl

My absolute weakness is a revenge story. If anyone has a fantasy project full of angst, betrayal, revenge, twisty politics, a sprinkle (or a lot) of yearning, I want to read it.

Brought to you by rewatch of The Double. #mswl

#mswl lol but also everyone go watch the terror

me updating my #mswl

isanyonestillhere??? #MSWL updated!!!

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/nidhi-pugalia/

new #MSWL unlocked: electoral politics meets Jane Austen (or, if we’re talking about my list, A DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAGICIANS by H. G. Parry meets THE MIDNIGHT BARGAIN by C. L. Polk)

#MSWL and i'm not asking for an interpretation or allegory, i want a human who dates a monster and they get to have a very cute time before or while Other Things Occur. :)

And I lowkey would love to find a queer story collection a la Bryan Washington or Anthony Veasna So! #MSWL

Or just anything speculative generally. Books than can feel of our world but with a twist! #MSWL

Romance! Happy to consider any and all queer and BIPOC stories, would especially love a cozy fantasy with romance, a horror romance, something speculative/five minutes in the future.

Anything that can be comped to Talia Hibbert, Helen Hoang, Emily Henry, etc. #MSWL

An isolated thriller! I eat them up like popcorn!

I'd also love to see a thriller following a queer friend group or found family! Recently enjoyed First Lie Wins.
#MSWL

All things horror. Give me your slashers, body horror, horror as a vehicle for exploring trauma, psychological horror, horror in film and tv.

Think horror in the vein of Malice House, Manhunt, The Shining, or Maeve Fly. I want it all! #MSWL

Queer characters across all genres. I'd love to see more trans femme stories, especially with joy and/or being the center of some adventure or solving a mystery/crime/murder! #mswl

Hi, Agents! Annual reminder that in addition to all things young readers, I'm also acquiring in the adult space! Some things that I'm on the hunt for: #MSWL 🧵

Are vampires in yet? I think I want vampires again. 👀
More in the vein of THE SERPENT AND THE WINGS OF NIGHT #mswl
