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

#MSWL A middle grade mystery. It could be a cozy mystery and/or something with “The Naturals” vibes for a younger reader. Standalone or standalone with series potential preferred.

After many months (years? decades? centuries??) I am settled in at Neighborhood Literary, and open to queries! I accept queries through QueryManager here:
querytracker.net/query/BeccaPodos

Would love to see more cozy mysteries! Whether it’s a traditional one a la Amanda Flower or something a bit more in the vein of DIAL A FOR AUNTIES.
I love bookish or cooking premises, something that is lightly paranormal (think witches or a friendly ghost.) and an animal companion!

Hi, this is Courtney at Handspun Lit participating in #mswl ! I'd love:
- cozy mystery comparable to Richard Osman; fun, feel good, centers a glimpse into unusual lives, character driven.
- high concept women's fiction
- cosy fantasy and sf

Reminder we reopen to queries March 1st!💜

Hello and a wonderful #MSWL day to you!
Big thank you to manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social
Here's my QM querytracker.net/query/AnneTi...
Wanted: Commercial Fiction
Psychological Horror, Mind-twisting Thriller, Millennial Cozy Mystery, Feminist Historical.

-I'm still looking for a fantasy or science fiction with a murder mystery plot. Should be more traditional or cozy mystery rather than a dark, crime mystery. Something light and fun with a speculative fiction setting or element.

I would love to sign a (super, ultra, incredibly) COZY mystery this year #mswl

I would love to see some mysteries, especially whodunits and cozies! If you have a fresh take on the genre please send it my way. Some recent ones I’ve enjoyed are the SUSAN RYELAND series by Anthony Horowitz and HOW TO SOLVE YOUR OWN MURDER by Kristen Perrin #MSWL

For cozy mysteries, give me a small town and a warm community. I usually gravitate towards bookstores and tea shops, or other general cozy feels here.

I would love to do more lightly paranormal cozies in the vein of Heather Blake or Amanda Flower.

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.

Here for the cozy YA mystery #MSWL

🧵Surprise! Focused Artists CEO Kristina Sutton Lennon is open to queries through June 16, 2024. Fiction
Looking for Mythology inspired Fantasy, Cozy mysteries
Hollywood Gilded Age Romantasy (Romantasy version of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo)

- Queer contemp and historical fiction with gorgeous prose and a strong hook
- Queer and/or BIPOC romance across categories. Steam (in adult) is welcome but not required!
- Cozy mysteries for millennials
- SFF with a strong romantic element, or romance with a strong SFF element

I’m very much in my cozy mystery era. #MSWL

Since it's still January, time for an updated 2024 #MSWL ! I'm currently really on the lookout for psychological thriller (a la Riley Sager), mysteries (cozy and whodunnits please), and light horror (nothing too gory, I want to sleep at night). Dark academia a plus as well!

For cozy mysteries, I’m usually looking for a bookstore or tea shop setting, or other general cozy feels here. I like to see a well rounded community that feels every bit a part of the story as the protagonist.

I acquire a few genres between our two imprints, but to break it down:

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

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