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

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! 🏳️‍🌈🕵️😈

💀 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

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
