And @a_cochran says: I’m looking for quality crime/thriller/speculative/SFF (would love a good epic fantasy), literary novels, historical that doesn’t wear its research too heavily, and anything with a strong concept that hooks me from the first page bit.ly/3btDWXS

"Crime fiction like Ian Rankin, Chevy Stevens, Patricia Cornwell, & Lee Child." @CurtisPSLA psliterary.com/submissions/ #MSWL

This is weirdly specific (blame my subconscious) but I’d love to see a YA where the MC is dealing with the fallout of a parent’s very public arrest as a serial killer, and the true crime aficionados and podcasters who now hound their family. #MSWL

Ripped-from-the-headlines, true-crime inspired fiction along the lines of Darling Rose Gold #MSWL #WishlistWednesday

"Crime fiction like Dennis Lehane." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

So if anyone’s writing any version of a fictionalized account of the Bobby Dunbar disappearance, I would love to see it 🤗

And my turn to jump on the @bookendslit #MSWL threat. I, too, would love to see more romance (historical and contemp), women’s fiction, and romcoms. #ownvoices a plus but open to all. I also want cookbooks and true crime!

The YA version for me please #MSWL

#mswl for my nonfiction writing friends:

*I'm currently devouring Patrick Radden Keefe's SAY NOTHING & would love to find a book in this vein. History or history / true crime that reads like a thriller.

*PopScience that takes a deep dive into a subject. Think SPYING ON WHALES.

In all seriousness, very proud to be a part of @StMartinsPress. Agents, please send me your gut-punching book club fiction, upmarket thrillers and mysteries, investigative journalism, pop culture, and true crime!! #mswl #publishing #amediting
