For historical mysteries, I’m always looking for a feminist female protagonist.

I love anything mid 20th century.
Anything gothic is a plus. If it has body snatching, poisons, or fun elements like séances, like in SPITTING GOLD, I’d love to see it.

I only acquire in the adult space, to break down our imprints, I’m looking for the following:

Crooked Lane:
Thrillers, historical mysteries, cozy mysteries, and horror.

Alcove Press:
Historical fiction, speculative fiction and magical realism, bookclub fiction, and romantasy.

It’s the fall autumnal months, which is when I really come alive 🎃

So here is an updated #mswl 🧵

(Thread)

For #graphicnovels & #comics , i’m looking for:
📷layers & depth of field
🪟thinking outside the panel
🌊watercolor feels
〰️ lovely line elements
🍱 studio ghibli vibes
🎨Monochromatic palettes
😎bad ass heroines …or villains
🧚‍♀️ whispy whimsical worlds
❤️ diverse characters

In #kidlitart , i’m looking for:
🖌️ classic/traditional style
🌊watercolor vibes
✏️colored pencil experts
💡Anything that plays with light
🌲scenic landscapes
🤪 pixar-like facial expressions
🐋sea creatures
🧚‍♀️ whispy whimsical worlds
❤️ diverse characters

I‘m on hold and the music is like a bossa nova vibe I would dance to in an elevator…waiting for some jaw-dropping illustrator portfolios to hit my inbox 🎨

My absolute weakness is a revenge story. If anyone has a fantasy project full of angst, betrayal, revenge, twisty politics, a sprinkle (or a lot) of yearning, I want to read it.

A villain coffee shop. That's the tweet #MSWL
