#MSWL Middle Grade Mystery w/a girl protag! Think THE INHERITANCE GAMES but for middle grade (not that exact concept; I’m just giving an example of 🔥-high-concept mystery). Fast plotting. Short chapters. Chapter cliff hangers, pls. Commercial but some emotional nuance too pls!

Hey Twitter. Some updates to my #MSWL:
My picture book list is quite full, so I am TEMPORARILY closing to PBs. I remain open to illustrators.
I'm very eager to find: ADULT mystery, crime, domestic suspense and horror/speculative fiction.

Are there zombie apocalypse stories where people are generally kind, supportive, and collaborative with one another? It seems more realistic (and more enjoyable to read/watch).If you have building-utopia-in-apocalypse stories (although I'd prefer climate apocalypse to zombie), #MSWL.
Anyway, I would love to see a horror book set in space.

I have a spot on my list for a fresh, high-concept historical romance series! Print potential for the right book/sales track. Agents, authors…who has a yummy Regency, Highlander, or Viking series for me to devour?#MSWL (see pinned tweet)

What are your favorite *published, adult* books heavily-featuring schools for magic-users????(No YA or MG, please!)
(This is forever on my #MSWL because I don't think there are enough of these in the adult space!)

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (@RedHourBen, 2013) is my favorite movie, and I’d love a book that gives me the same vibes #MSWL
(Yes, I know it’s based on Thurber’s short story but I want a book full or like 50 books full of this film’s mood!)

I am dying...DYING...for an amazing Victorian era/Gilded Age mystery or thriller. Find it for me, universe! #mswl
