Last year was GREAT for @SkylarkLit & I am looking forward to this year being even better! I’m excited to discover more fantastic new books & authors & help them find fabulous publishing homes! So, lovely writers - send me your manuscripts & let’s get this party started! 🤗🎉🥂I am especially keen to find YA mysteries & love stories, anything with an unreliable narrator & voicey MG characters who know their own minds! 🤗 I love historical & also contemporary adventures with a twist! Glorious writing is top of my wishlist - ALWAYS! #MSWL

Feels a bit like tweeting into the void, but before this bird app fully tanks I would really love it if someone sent me a mystery/suspense/thriller with some Mare of Easttown vibes. #MSWL

"academic rivals to lovers" BUT THEY'RE SOLVING A MYSTERY TOGETHER & REFUSE TO CALL EACH OTHER ANYTHING OTHER THAN THEIR LAST NAMES UNTIL THEY ENDURE A DANGEROUS LIFE-THREATENING EXPERIENCE TOGETHER & CALL ONE ANOTHER BY THEIR FIRST NAMES FOR THE FIRST TIME BC OF THE ADRENALINE?!…do I have to say it? #mswl

Dear #amquerying, I'll be closing to queries on 12/1!Please submit to me before that so I can dig into your work over the holidays.
FWIW, I'm still looking for fresh, diverse #horror and #mystery (dark or cozy) and narrative nonfic that sheds light on hidden histories
My updated #MSWL can be found here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/chel…

Mystery #mswl: Golden Age inspired cozy-leaning (with modern sensibilities)... yes please! Make me think of Christie or Marsh or (newer!) Osman and I'll be over the moon.
Queries reopen 12/1!

Surprise! I’m opening to queries November 1st-18th! While I love picture books, I have a lot of them on sub so I’m hoping to find:
-YA fantasy, paranormal, or horror (no gore!)
-Adult fantasy or thrillers
-MG mystery

YA will be a hard sell for me. Although, I still love any game element or competition. Mystery in the vein of TRULY DEVIOUS and INHERITANCE GAMES is high on my list. Also, historical fantasy such as AND I DARKEN. #MSWL

- retellings with a twist
- mythology, meddling gods
- smart mystery thrillers
- spooky middle grade
- royals!!
Literary Agent
Historical Fic #mswl: an unseen avenue into a popular historical moment (a job, a place, a person we haven't seen before giving new insight into a time we're maybe familiar with). Dual timeline, mystery/Gothic-leaning, female-driven all delicious bonuses
Queries reopen 12/1!

Agents! I am eager for new, exciting acquisitions and I updated my #mswl to prove it! Check out what I’m looking for here (spoiler alert: subversive horror, witty rom coms, & unique genre mash-ups): manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/alis…

Adult:
-BIPOC-led mysteries and thrillers, especially those with romantic and cozy *elements* even if you may not consider them fully cozy. e.g. there are dogs. there is a bakery. there is a fluffy tooth-rotting romance
-again, more BIPOC in the great outdoors
Literary Agent
MG and YA:
-mysteries, family dramas, tearjerkers w happy endings (especially autumn- and holiday-centric this time of year!)
-more BIPOC in the great outdoors
-really strong voices with messy feelings
Literary Agent
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)

I love the Sunshine Vicram series with my whole dang heart. If you're working on a fun mystery like those books, please keep me in mind when you query. #mswlRe-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.
