Future #MSWL & QM update:
I have less than 40 undecided queries/submissions. I plan to reopen mid-late January to a few genres. This info is not on my website or MSWL page yet— it’s just a head’s up and I hope it’s helpful!
✨ ADULT FICTION✨
• contemporary romance - think Emily Henry but low spice or Melissa Ferguson
• upmarket / book club
• cozy mysteries
✨ NONFICTION✨
- same as what’s on website -
✨ KIDLIT ✨
• PB/MG/YA - classic-style with a literary bent. Secret Garden. Bridge to Terabithia. Winnie-the-Pooh.
• PB - humorous character-driven series
‼️Not looking for SEL or rhyme.‼️

Massimo @Rainmaker1973
The town of Whittier, Alaska, is known for having nearly the entire population living in a single apartment building. twitter.com/Rainmaker1973/status/1731327512389595624/photo/1Holy crap! #MSWL this is the perfect setting for a locked room mystery or horror. The single-lane tunnel into town freaks me out.
