Evergreen #mswl: character-driven mystery/thriller which leads me one way and then springs a trapdoor of a twist (ala Brianna Labuskes, Ruth Ware, Riley Sager, etc)

Queries reopen 12/1!

#MSWL update: Cozy mysteries.

#WritingCommunity #amquerying

Re-tweeting because it's still true! Sunshine Vicram, Finlay Donovan, bring me your ass-kicking, mystery solving, funny, independent women. #mswl

I would love some locked room mysteries/ thrillers.

YA/ Adult Horror like Kiersten White’s Hide, Kathryn Foxfield’s books, or Clown in a Cornfield.

Giant sharks/ cryptid books.

Young heists, mysteries, detectives, assassins. Middle grade or YA necromancers, supernatural hunters, and kids who get revenge

✨🤍📖I’m open to queries✨🤍📖

I am so so stoked to open my QM again and this time I have new things on my #mswl! I’m especially in the mood for:

Dark academia
MG & YA heists, competitions, mysteries, and thrillers
Adult fantasy romance
Adult contemporary romance

mysteries, thrillers, and revenge stories that are cozy (think ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING), hard femme (think DO REVENGE), or twisty and murderous (think KNIVES OUT)

#MSWL

Agatha Christie's final unsolved mystery of her 11-day disappearance is finally 'cracked' by BBC historian Lucy Worsley

Would love to see this as a mystery novel. #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Putting out an #MSWL call for marginalized creators and all of the beautiful intersections therein 🧡

I'd love to see more projects in book club fiction, thrillers, mysteries, suspense, romance, SFF, and horror for middle-grade, YA, & adult readers! Genre blends too!

🦊 Cosy Crime 🕵️

I’d absolutely love cosy crime from *any* period, whether contemporary like Janice Hallett and Richard Osman, traditional Golden Age murder mystery, or historical crime. The more suspects and red herrings, the better!

#MSWL

"Send me cozy mysteries for younger audiences—I would love to see millennial protagonists, stories with drag queens, boozy brunches, bachelorette parties, all the things!"

✨Fabulist urban spec fic like China Miéville.
✨Africanfuturist SFF that comps Nnedi Okorafor.
✨Fantasy-mystery genre mashups like MAGIC FOR LOVERS or RIVERS OF LONDON #MSWL

Cozies, mysteries (and even thrillers) set in unique spaces and worlds (frozen tundra, desert, on an oceanic station, in space, and so on), with unique murders and mysteries to solve and clever and lovable characters we can’t help but root for. #MSWL

Science fiction that blends with another genre (example: romance, horror, fantasy, mystery, thriller). #MSWL

Just came from seeing BODIES BODIES BODIES and greatly enjoyed the whodunit aspect. It’s definitely the type of thing I love to read in mysteries/thrillers #MSWL
