I updated my #mswl in advance of manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social day today! www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/je...

Harlequin Intrigue books are 55-60K, HEA required, adult (not YA or NA). Mystery-focused with a strong romantic partnership that evolves with the suspense.

#mswl time: forever looking for a Twin Peaks style small-town romantic suspense. Fish out of water special agent, secretive and seductive love interest, murder, mystery, and slightly weird goings on. Intrigue guidelines are at harlequin.submittable.com, ask me if you have questions!

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
2/6

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
