🖤 Tommy’s always here for crime novels with anti-heroes. Give him leads who should walk away but don’t. The ones who know better but can’t help themselves. Morally gray, ethically messy, impossible to forget. #MSWL

🚨 Tommy Dean’s Spring #MSWL is here. 🚨 He’s looking for crime, mystery, suspense, and thrillers that pull him under and refuse to let go. High stakes. Big consequences. Characters with pasts that won’t stay buried.

I'm specializing in mystery, suspense, thrillers, crime fiction, and upmarket fiction with a sharp edge. He is drawn to high-stakes narratives, complex characters, and stories that refuse to be put down. More on my website:

I would love to see more queer fiction--historical, crime, horror. I want it all! #MSWL

I also enjoy narrative nonfiction, including books that blend memoir with another genre, like memoir + true crime or memoir + a deep dive into the history of a certain phenomena. #MSWL

So excited for #MSWL day today! I'll post separate threads with specifics for each genre, but here's a big picture look at what I'm acquiring:
- horror
- romance
- mysteries
- thrillers
- cultural criticisms / narrative nonfiction / true crime
- lifestyle guides / gift books

Can't wait! 💖💖

#MSWL : Thriller rom-com? Mystery rom-com? Say less. High stakes, sharp banter, and just enough danger to make the romance hit harder?! If your book feels like a heist, a scandal, or a crime gone delightfully off the rails with kissing? Yes. 🔪💋 #amquerying

Happy #MSWL Day, Folks! I’m excited to read your pitches!
I’m currently accepting manuscript submissions for the following fiction genres: literary fiction, family saga, high-concept women’s fiction, crime & mystery.

I’m currently closed to queries EXCEPT for adult nonfiction proposals. I’m looking for: spirituality/New Age, self-help, health/fitness, motivational, business, celebrity, lifestyle, psychology, relationship/dating, & true crime. #MSWL manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ly...

On the hunt for #darkacademia novels, particularly those that are a bit more upmarket and less magical - The Secret History vibes. If you have a crime novel set in a university, boarding school, library - it might be for me. #mswl

#MSWL : Nonfiction that turns me into that person at dinner parties. Cold War spy games, true crime that makes me triple-check my locks, pop culture deep dives that make people say how do you even know this? If it sends me into a research spiral at 2 AM, I’m in. #amquerying (1/n)

I am looking for thrillers and crime fiction of all types; book club and historical fiction that moves me and makes me think (including novels featuring fantasy/mythology/science fiction). In non-fiction, books which open up the conversation and take me on a journey. #mswl

Query opening update and #MSWL ✨

Here is my updated #MSWL for winter 2025. I will be opening back up to unsolicited queries at the end of the month. If I’ve requested materials from you please send me a DM for my query link.

Finally, I'm open to nonfiction for adults and teens! I want to learn something new, discover unique angles on topics I love, and find accessible projects. I'm actively seeking memoirs/narrative; true crime stories; women's, POC, and LGBTQ+ issues; gardening/sustainability; and food content. #MSWL

I'd also love to add a few new crime writers to my list this year. I'm looking for old-fashioned murder mystery, with puzzles and clues, and maybe a good dose of sleuthing.

As a reader, I adore Karen M. McManus and Holly Jackson's novels and would love to see more YA crime & thrillers on submission. If you are writing something in this vein, please do think of me when you're ready to query🙏 #MSWL #manuscriptwishlist
