If you are doing a YA mystery, then my vibe is totally #MSWL for:

First up has probably got to be my 2020 Jessica Fletcher cozy murder mystery YA book. Think Cher Horowitz vibe meets Jessica Fletcher all "I can catch a murderer if I want to" #MSWL #YA

YA mystery/suspense:
I want some on both sides of the spectrum: light and dark.

Something in the vein of Sadie, Behind Her Eyes (but YA), and Knives Out. But also something ala On My Block, Outerbanks, or Scooby-Doo, haha.

I love treasure hunts and heists btw!

Wants:
☑️ Horror (darker the better but keep it in the age category)
☑️ Rom-coms with a hook
☑️ Spec (especially afro-futurism & magical realism variety)
☑️ Mysteries (gimme the new Westing Game!!!)
☑️ Historicals with a twist (spec, queer, mystery, etc.)

"Cozy mysteries like THE BOOK CLUB MURDERS by Leslie Nagel.” @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I simply devoured Nekesa Afia’s “Dead Dead Girls”. If anyone has a historical murder mystery with a queer/BIPOC protagonist in their drawer, send it my way!🥂 #MSWL

I'm eager to find some thrillers a la ACE OF SPADES, ONE OF US IS LYING, GOOD GIRLS GUIDE TO MURDER, etc. I have clients working on amazing supernatural/fantastical thrillers, too, like @katepearsall and @stageandpage but welcome more. I love a witchy murder mystery! #MSWL

I would kill to read a heady literary mystery about a character who slowly loses it in a shoddily disguised replica of the Love Island villa that turns increasingly hellish. Does this exist? Can someone write it? #mswl

"Cozy mysteries centered around siblings & involving a sweet twist! Maybe they’re siblings running a bakery, or the local baker dies mysteriously + the siblings need to solve the murder while keeping the bakery afloat. You tell me!" @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

High on my #MSWL list:
Contemporary Southern Gothic
Creepy Historical Gothic
Give me haunted manors, haunted woods, haunted histories
Add a dash of magic, even better!!
Fantasy RomCom
More YA urban fantasy
MG adventure and mystery and puzzles to solve
GN for MG and YA

AGREE, @marjorieingall! Query me if yr book reflects the rich diversity w/in Judaism, if you're writing about a "Black Orthodox Jewish kid who solves mysteries," or a "Jewish girl on a desert planet who rescues a fugitive droid and saves the galaxy"! #MSWL nyti.ms/3r0URd0

Mystery: I'm interested in millennial cozy mysteries--something quirky, smart, and fun, but also still spooky and sharp. Would love one with a unique setting (out of the usual small town setting). General mysteries are also welcome!

5. Still looking for my MG scavenger hunt/puzzle mystery—Greenglass House, The Parker Inheritance, The Westing Game, Winterhouse comps
