Right now, the largest % of queries I receive are for the fantasy genre. Which is great, I love fantasy, but I also want my list to be balanced. So I would *really* love to see more queries in other genres: romcom, horror, mystery, historical, magical realism, graphic novel, etc. #MSWL

- MG mysteries! Friends solving puzzles together!

- MG fantasy with immersive magic and problem solving like Spirited Away

- MG contemporary stories about building community (sports teams, clubs, craft circles, neighborhood gardens, etc!)

- YA mysteries that feel like Truly Devious or One of Us is Lying

- YA psychological thrillers like We Were Liars

- YA horror that is gently spooky and also very dark YA horror

Though I've been dipping my toes into younger children's books lately, the only children's genre I'm actively seeking out is YA. I love a funny contemporary YA novel, a twisty mystery, or a super dark horror novel. Basically, I'm looking for the same genres in adult and YA. #MSWL

Just a reminder, while I am open to all speculative fiction, I'm really looking to fill some *specific* areas:

High heat romantasy
Non-western fantasy
YA + MG horror/horror romance
YA + MG mystery/thriller

(Here are some past visual #MSWL )

*note, I do not represent these books*

I'm a sucker for a locked room mystery. I also enjoy books about doppelgangers, creepy dolls and evil children. #MSWL

I'd love a mystery, with a sleuth who is a fish out of water, or who gets pulled into investigating against their will #mswl

7/ BOOK-CLUB: Found family, complex female relationships, and stories of reinvention. A strong hook, rich settings, and high stakes. A tight timeframe with elements of mystery or romance. Give me an epic love story between best friends, a charater-driven mystery. Celeste Ng, Brit Bennett, Liz Moore.

I also like commercial mysteries and women's fiction if they have a super funny voice. #MSWL

Mostly, I'm looking for upmarket and literary fiction in a lot of categories, including mysteries, speculative, historical and horror. If you blend some of these genres together--amazing! I also like upmarket and literary fiction that doesn't fall into a genre category. #MSWL

2/ MYSTERY: clever puzzles, tight timeframes, and compelling characters. Hobby-based mysteries (ballet, RPGs, filmmaking, gardening/botany, climbing/hiking). Settings I'd love to see include: college campuses, elite art/music/dance world, isolated retreats, off-season beach towns, sprawling estates

1/ First things first: my name is Ginger and I'm an agent at Movable Type Management. I represent books for adults (sorry, no YA/MG/Kidlit) across all genres. I'm looking for commercial and upmarket women's fiction—especially thrillers, rom-coms, mysteries and select horror...

So excited for #MSWL day today! I'll post separate threads with specifics for each genre, but here's a big picture look at what I'm acquiring:
- horror
- romance
- mysteries
- thrillers
- cultural criticisms / narrative nonfiction / true crime
- lifestyle guides / gift books

Can't wait! 💖💖

#MSWL : Thriller rom-com? Mystery rom-com? Say less. High stakes, sharp banter, and just enough danger to make the romance hit harder?! If your book feels like a heist, a scandal, or a crime gone delightfully off the rails with kissing? Yes. 🔪💋 #amquerying

I updated my #MSWL profile for #MSWL Day! I'd love to read a diverse, feminist or LGBTQ+ mystery or thriller...And I'm more interested in Europe than USA... manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social
