Starting a fresh week with an updated MS wishlist🤩
Authors, it's over to you! tinyurl.com/5h66jr36

#MSWL

I acquire contemporary romance, book club fiction, suspense, thriller, and mystery in the commercial and upmarket space. Would love to see more diverse suspense and thriller in particular!

I made some tiny updates to my #MSWL to reflect a few more things I'm excited to see (and maybe remove a few things that haven't been working for me). If you comp What Happened in Skinner, please query me!!

We're so excited to welcome @suddenlyjen to the LDLA team!

- Mysteries and thrillers that are mysterious and/or thrilling from the first chapter. You can have set-up, but the tone should clearly convey what genre I'm reading.
- Adventures like Pax and Wolf Called Wander
- Clean, tight writing styles. I'm a minimalist by nature.
#mswl

- Queer contemp and historical fiction with gorgeous prose and a strong hook
- Queer and/or BIPOC romance across categories. Steam (in adult) is welcome but not required!
- Cozy mysteries for millennials
- SFF with a strong romantic element, or romance with a strong SFF element

#MSWL time!

I'd love to see mysteries/thrillers (literary or upmarket) with deep, psychological interiority that shows voice and personality. Think Searcher by Tana French, or Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton.
Extra interested if there's a faux/red-flag love interest involved.

In ADULT 💘Romance:
* Dark or Light*
* HEA required (even if the HEA not everyone's preferred HEA)
* Please indicate the heat level/sensuality in query
* Includes but not limited to: LGBTQ / work from diverse authors / chars with diverse backgrounds

- Esp. Settings in Alaska, Nat'l Parks, Outdoors, Wilderness, etc)

- Historical (including Regency/England early 1800's)
- Paranormal (light/grounded in real world)

#MSWL March 2024

#MSWL for March 2024:
In ADULT Fiction:
👁‍🗨 Mystery:
- Cozy
- Traditional (murder) mystery
- Caper (story focus is crime plan/execution
- Crime Mystery (w/ POV of member of criminal underworld)
- Noir (gritty, atmospheric w/professional investigator POV)

I've also updated my #MSWL page, and am particularly hungry at the moment for mysteries, suspense, and thrillers written by BIPOC writers and featuring main characters of color. Recent faves: AGE OF VICE, THE BANDIT QUEENS, THE VERIFIERS. (2/

A quick #MSWL of genres I'm keen to see. Cozy fantasy, Romantasy in YA and Adult, and Mystery from marginalized authors.

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mark-falkin/ #MSWL

Adult:
Upmarket, commercial/literary fiction, book-club fiction, magical realism, rom-com/women’s fiction crossover, historical, mysteries that are fun and light with a genre blend, science fiction (whether five-minutes-in-the-future or epic), fantasy, and romantasy.

Would love some BIPOC-led mysteries in my inbox!! #mswl

I’m very much in my cozy mystery era. #MSWL

I'm in my dark fiction era! #MSWL

Give me all the horror (!!), mysteries, & thrillers, especially highlighting marginalized POVs (BIPOC, disabled, LGBTQIA+, & all the intersections). I've been so fortunate to read some for fun & for work, but I'm still feeling insatiable!

Incredibly grateful for all the support I’ve received as I opened for queries at @HowlandLit

Thank you @zoealinehoward for putting together these awesome graphics with my #MSWL

But I will reopen to select YA genres as well. So it will be Adult SFF, Horror, and Mystery (not true crime). YA horror, thriller, and romance. No YA fantasy or science fiction or contemporary.

Happy to take questions for a little bit about my #MSWL . #askagent

young adult — boarding school mysteries, queer fake dating romances, and magical realism
