I'm most looking for romantic suspense these days, both for Love Inspired Suspense and Love Inspired Trade. If you write inspirational with a heaping helping of danger and intrigue, I'm interested in seeing it. #MSWL

I am so excited that my #MSWL is now live! #WritingCommunity, check it out at manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jenn… ❤️
#MSWL I’m most eager to find twisty, intelligent suspense, upmarket book club fiction, women’s fic that explores friendship and multi-generational ties, light magical realism, and historical fiction from a new perspective or setting. I want more diverse/underrepresented voices!

Just finished SEX AND VANITY and am desperate for submissions packing luxury/glamor, with a swank sense of place. Send me your books set on islands, in fancy hotels, chi-chi holiday hotspots. Bonus points for that + suspense a la the brilliant SAINT X. I need an escape... #mswl

#MSWL I'm now open to adult contemporary fiction, both commercial and upmarket. I want witty beach reads, elements of suspense/thriller, family secrets, and books about rich people behaving badly

Ooh, there’s a line from The Ice Twins I have never been able to forget, “Lydie Low has fallen...” please send me psychological suspense with unforgettable lines and unreliable narrators... #MSWL

And these are also "invisible" jobs with a great opportunity for surveillance or eavesdropping. Would anyone notice how long the UPS guy has been parked there? Think of the personal conversations/phone calls you've had in a Lyft!I'm particularly obsessed with the idea of a sanitation worker helming a thriller, which I saw in a tweet a few days ago and foolishly didn't save.
What are your other ideas for careers that would make a good vantage point for suspense fiction?

I often say I want unexpected suspense. Here are some careers that could be a fun perspective from which to dig into a mystery instead of police detective as MC
-rental car agency employee
-sanitation worker
-UPS driver (or bus driver, or Lyft driver...)
-mail carrier
