NEW #MSWL: a magical MG mystery a la THE WOLF OF CAPE FEN by @julianalbrandt. The mystery is deeply personal to the character, the worldbuilding is excellent, and the magic serves the mystery plot. It also doesn't hurt that the writing is gorgeous. I want more like this!

I ❤️ BROADCHURCH. How did I miss this when it first came out?? It's so good! A YA mystery with that level of ensemble and such brilliant handling of suspects (I truly never know who it is until the 🤯🤯🤯 ending) would be fantastic. Bonus for tight-knit community 💣. #MSWL

Okay guys, I've been obsessed with #KnivesOut and I'd love to get a YA in a similar vein. I'm thinking more of the fun vibe than super suspenseful mystery. And because I am a trash shipper I'd love maybe some Marta/Ransom vibes with the characters. #MSWLYes A MILLION TIMES YES #mswl

Read the late great Barbara Neely’s BLANCHE ON THE LAM yesterday. So sad we only have 4 of these. I’m going to have to dole them out to myself as treats...
I’d love a contemporary #ownvoices mystery that tells it like it is, just as Ms. Neely did. #MSWL

I think what I'd really like right now is a cozy British village murder mystery show where Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are elderly widower neighbors who bicker a lot about their gardens, and also solve crimes. And there's a super hot grandson who has to drive them around.Gimme! #mswl

Open for submissions! After two weeks of homeschooling, it's clear my plan to retire at one of my children's homes is not a viable option! 😋Whatcha got? #amwriting #literaryagent #womensfiction #cosymystery #romance #BookClub #writers #writerslife #publishing #queries #MSWL

@YouKnowTheSpiel I LOVE cozies! I used to acquire them when I worked at SMP, and I've done a few since opening my business. I think the cozy crowd is less active on twitter, but my heart still yearns for them. pic.twitter.com/iHtPo472tGSAME. So eager to find more cozy mysteries in Twitter pitchfests (or in general)! Not nearly enough popping into my Query Box. #MSWL

Gimme dark Victorian mysteries and horror, not about Jack the Ripper. This goes for YA and adult. #MSWL

On the subject of middle-grade, I'm still not seeing enough comedy by women. I continue to wax about it, but @sharnajackson's HIGH RISE MYSTERY is the perfect example of a funny, clever adventure with all the life and representation that I'm looking for.

Would love a killer middle grade mystery.* Spooky/supernatural, cozy, and Westing Game puzzle-style varieties all encouraged. #mswl*no actual murder required
I've been dying for this ever since I became an agent. It's on my permanent #MSWL, but doesn't hurt to reiterate it here! Send me your comps to THE WESTING GAME, GREENGLASS HOUSE, & THE PARKER INHERITANCE!

An update to my #MSWL:
I'm looking for more MG & YA thrillers/mysteries in my inbox. Whether you have an unreliable narrator, a group of friends trying to solve/find something, or some weird magic going on, I'd love to see it!
