A few more days left of being open to querying! I'd LOVE to see a good Clue style mystery in the MG or YA space! #MSWL

Very much still looking for horror in the adult, YA and MG space! Also, humorous mystery a la Only Murders/Finlay Donovan is (still) hitting my sweet spot.

As I get ready to open up to queries on Oct. 1st, here's a #MSWL of what I'm looking for! If you're unsure if your project would be a good fit based off of this list, that's okay. Please still consider querying me 😊

*Any fulls I have are still being considered

Send in those queries. Full #MSWL on Query Manager. #writersoftwitter #WritingCommunity

Very specific things I'd love to see
- more adult fantasy/romantasy (something very unique and off the wall and contemporary/grounded)
- MG and YA horror and mystery/thriller
- Academia
- humorous cozy fantasy
- sapphics!

#MSWL

Onto the #mswl ! This fall, for FICTION, I'm open to MOST THINGS! Surprise me! #amquerying

For cozy mysteries, give me a small town and a warm community. I usually gravitate towards bookstores and tea shops, or other general cozy feels here.

I would love to do more lightly paranormal cozies in the vein of Heather Blake or Amanda Flower.

For historical mysteries, I’m always looking for a feminist female protagonist.

I love anything mid 20th century.
Anything gothic is a plus. If it has body snatching, poisons, or fun elements like séances, like in SPITTING GOLD, I’d love to see it.

I only acquire in the adult space, to break down our imprints, I’m looking for the following:

Crooked Lane:
Thrillers, historical mysteries, cozy mysteries, and horror.

Alcove Press:
Historical fiction, speculative fiction and magical realism, bookclub fiction, and romantasy.

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.
