Regardless of genre, I'm seeking inclusive, intersectional voices & gorgeous line-level writing with emotionally compelling narratives. Some of my #MSWL includes:
—Horror that dismantles the gender binary & societal norms
—Occult conspiracies
—Cozy mysteries that center BIPOC/queer characters

I'm participating in #MSWL Day! I've been working through my queries, and I'm almost ready to re-open. (Estimate: March 10) I'll be posting throughout today, and I'm so excited to see new subs in these areas: #fantasy #speculative #adventure #historical #mystery #suspense #horror

Happy #MSWL Day! I only accept agented submissions, but wanted to get into the fun. I'm an editor over at Chronicle Books, and I would love to find more MG novels this year—especially ones that feature queer kiddos with big feelings, are a KNIVES OUT-style mystery, or use horror as metaphor! 🏳️‍🌈🕵️😈

Hi #querying #booksky authors! I’m a literary agent always looking to fall in love with new manuscripts. Here is my current #MSWL : www.btaylorbooks.com/mswl

Hi #amquerying friends
While I am open to all speculative fiction, I'm really looking to add more ya & mg horror/thriller/mystery authors to the list 🕷 #MSWL

I would love to see more thrillers, mysteries, and horror in my inbox! #mswl

🔍 I also like my mystery with societal commentary with bipoc main characters
🔍If there's a side of humor with your mystery, I want to read it
🔍If there are siblings protecting each other from unspeakable things, please send

#mswl

💀 Atmospheric gothic horror with a cultural connection
💀 If it could be an A24 movie, I want to read it
💀 I like my horror with a side of societal commentary
💀 Confronting fear that develops our main character
💀 I like slow-burn surprise horror as much as an action-packed page-turner

I'm looking for more adult #horror and #mystery in my inbox. Let's break it down! 🧵 #mswl

And for some updated things I’m looking for, alongside the above:

High concept and YA/Adult mysteries/thrillers, like THE BLONDE DIES FIRST and THE LAST MURDER AT THE END OF THE WORLD.

-Adult Mystery. I sold several I had on submission lately and really want to fill out my list here. Priority to mystery outside the U.S., younger protagonists, and diversity, especially queer and BIPOC. #MSWL I'm drawn to lighter mystery over crime or police stories.

-I'm still looking for a fantasy or science fiction with a murder mystery plot. Should be more traditional or cozy mystery rather than a dark, crime mystery. Something light and fun with a speculative fiction setting or element.

-I'm still open to finding more self-published authors in the Adult market (SFF, Romantasy, or Mystery) who want help exploiting their retained sub-rights. Audio rights being at the top of that list. #MSWL

I would love to sign a (super, ultra, incredibly) COZY mystery this year #mswl

Just a reminder, while I am open to all speculative fiction, I'm really looking to add more horror/thriller/mystery authors to the list 🕷 #MSWL

(Here are some past visual MSWL)

Query opening update and #MSWL ✨

for romance in general, i love a genre blending moment, so send me your horroromance, mystery romance, etc

i tend to like my main characters & storylines with a bit of bite/kick, and i probably wouldn't be the best fit for things that are on the sweeter/wholesome side lol #mswl

Here is my updated #MSWL for winter 2025. I will be opening back up to unsolicited queries at the end of the month. If I’ve requested materials from you please send me a DM for my query link.

Now that I’m more situated in 2025, just thought I’d re-share what I’m looking for at my #MSWL link below!
