🕰️ More mystery in everything! I love a goal. Speculative? Give it a mystery. Contemp romance? Give it a mystery!! Mystery? Go ahead and slap another mystery in there, baby!!!

📽️ Tightly paced, high-tension character driven stories you can’t put down. Slice of life is not for me

#MSWL if anyone’s writing historical mysteries about William H. West, I would love to see them!

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H…

I’d love a mystery with a framing device like SADIE: a podcast, documentary/mockumentary, or any other type of mixed media.

I’m REALLY looking for mystery/thrillers/suspense in both the YA and adult space, ESPECIALLY from marginalized populations. However, I am not the right fit for law enforcement protagonists or love interests.

For the basics, I represent: MG horror, mysteries, & thrillers; YA SFF, horror, mysteries, & thrillers; adult SFF, horror, mysteries, & thrillers; select YA/adult GN; and select adult NF. More niche wants below ⬇️

#MSWL - some specifics but it doesn’t mean I’m not open to other things
F/F romances — especially adult romances
Thrillers/mysteries
Historicals from underrepresented voices
Adult light fantasies
Feminist stories
Author/illustrator GN
Stories w/ speculative elements

SO I found out about true crime conferences, and I cannot stop thinking about a murder mystery that takes place at a conference where everyone is an armchair detective. #MSWL

Gloomy, threatening, or naturally dangerous settings can go a long way in a thriller. But there’s something terrifying about bad things happening in beautiful, “safe” locations we associate w/ escape. This is a #mswl tweet but also promo for YOU CAN TRUST ME by @wendydheard

"I'm looking for cozy mysteries with younger protagonists, geared towards millennial audiences. I'd love to see a wider range of settings and premises for series, so if you have something that's unique, send it over!"

YA/NA #MSWL: although sci-fi is still tough, I always say things in publishing are tough but not impossible.

I’d love a BIPOC grounded sci-fi mystery/thriller that can be comp’d to DEVS/Tales From The Loop/The OA.

I'm opening for submissions in three days. Here are a few of my mystery and women's fiction clients. @LeslieKarst @lisaroewrites @AnnieSereno Check my #mswl in bio. #writersoftwitter #writingcommunity #writers
