As the weather gets cooler my hunger
for more sci-fi, fantasy and mystery queries rises! #mswl

New #MSWL continued: I'd also love to have more adult mysteries on my list so send me your traditional, cozy, and amateur sleuth mysteries!

I’m also looking for nonfiction proposals from authors with a platform or who are experts in their field. #WritingCommunity 2/3

✨MG/YA MSWL✨

I would love to see work from Indigenous creatives especially in contemporary and speculative projects. Contemporary GNs. Mysteries and thrillers. And overall works that explore growing up whether that be its struggles or not.

Meet cute for a rom com or romcom mystery please🤣

#MSWL

YA supernatural thrillers/mysteries with toxic relationships, big emotions, betrayal, and found families.

I represent MG, young adult, & adult speculative fiction (including science fiction, fantasy, horror, & cross-genre books). In all age groups, my taste gravitates toward speculative fiction with subtle romance & lush prose. Horror, mystery, & romance elements are my soft spot.

Queer characters across all genres. I'd love to see more trans femme stories, especially with joy and/or being the center of some adventure or solving a mystery/crime/murder! #mswl

Book club is reading A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder right now and again I am SO hungry for a YA thriller/murder mystery pleaseeeee!!! #MSWL

In YA I’m also looking for:
-mystery
-horror
-retellings/reimaginings (that don’t stick TOO CLOSE to the source)

Genre-blending narratives
-mysteries/suspense/thrillers set in more sci-fi or fantasy worlds
-speculative romance
-horror elements blended into SFF (cosmic horror-esque)
-surprise me!!

In Adult, I would particularly love a funny/satirical horror, a humorous, over-the-top mystery/thriller, or a locked room mystery in a spec fic setting.

I'm NOT typically the right fit for hist fic, military, police procedurals, high fantasy/sci-fi, dystopian, or literary fic.

I am also open to the following in Adult, though prefer if they have a strong romantic subplot:
-horror
-mystery (a la Knives Out)
-thriller/suspense
-women’s fiction
-grounded/accessible SFF

I would like to see more queries in my Inbox that offer great escapism, both on the adult as on the YA side: horror, thrillers, mysteries, romance. #MSWL .

These are not every #MSWL item I’ve ever posted (since some of those are broad) but just the specific things in the image below (and also 🧵'd in tweets below), so if you have something that fits an item on this list, feel free to send it my way on the link at the end of this 🧵:
