I love all manner of mysteries: literary suspense, noir, historical, psychological thrillers, cozies, etc. #MSWL

I love a good noir voice, and am always on the lookout for speculative takes on mystery romance (Twin Peaks meets The Big Sleep). If I'm not reading romance I'm reading horror and weird fiction: some recent faves include We Love You, Bunny, The Starving Saints, and The Salt Grows Heavy.

Ok, agents and authors. It's me! Your friendly, local editor. I'm starting to build my 2026 list. Interested in what I'm looking for? Sure, you are. Here's my #mswl .

#MSWL for March 2024:
In ADULT Fiction:
👁‍🗨 Mystery:
- Cozy
- Traditional (murder) mystery
- Caper (story focus is crime plan/execution
- Crime Mystery (w/ POV of member of criminal underworld)
- Noir (gritty, atmospheric w/professional investigator POV)

Agents and/or authors.

Please send me train thrillers like BULLET TRAIN, or something LEON-like with assassins or gangs.

Am always on the lookout for crime adjacent novels set in South Central LA, NYC, South Korea or Japan.

Or maybe some 90s Seattle-set grunge noir.
#MSWL

I've updated my #MSWL page for their great new platform and look forward to queries - especially if it's a multicultural love story, a
BIPOC perspective on history (fiction or nonfiction), a thriller in an unusual time and place...
Happy #MSWL Day! 👇🤗 manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/Jess…

Good news #MSWL has my new post up. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/anis… I hope this helps anyone having trouble getting to know what I am working on.

I really enjoy noir mysteries. They are so sinister and devious and delicious. I really enjoy flawed characters that you should hate but kinda love. Send me your messed up, nefarious, duplicitous, shrewd, sneaky, deceitful, calculating, manipulative, scheming, anti-heroes! #mswl

I am open for submissions, so please send me your books! Find out about me, my taste & what's at the top of my #manuscriptwishlist here:

I just finished WESTSIDE last night, and it has a lot of qualities I'm looking for: historical, noir, speculative element, gorgeous writing, great voice. #MSWL

I seriously need more country noir. #MSWL

#querytip alert! Gripping adult fic is MY JAM. Love a tense psych thriller, domestic noir, and have room for the right police procedural. As ever, I'm yearning for exciting fantasy projects and swoon-worthy romance. #DVpit #MSWL

"An edge-of-your-seat noir about an agoraphobic coven's adventure to transcend their mother's death" #MSWL, please

#MSWL YA Historical Mystery! Whether it's fun & funny (think MISS FISHER) gothic, noir, procedural or lawless... get at me!

And for the wild card: hipster noir! #mswl

Would love to see noir detective stories set in almost any other genre but the mystery must be central/taken seriously! #mswl

Basically I'm still looking for all my old #MSWL requests: Victorian era; evil children; remote places; noir; unreliable narrators, etc.

Finishing 1st season of #Riverdale on #Netflix. Would love #YA w/ smart, brooding loner MC like Jughead or campy noir w/ a Cheryl. #MSWL

Huge fan of domestic noir that gets under the skin - I've seen bad mothers by the bucketload but what about fathers and daughters?

Guys, please. Put the noir in my inbox. #mswl
