Querying authors, we're looking for adult #fiction geared toward the #Christian market. Romance, suspense or #romanticsuspense. Historical or historical romance. No DMs. See submission guidelines here: rachellegardner.com/submissions #MSWL #InspyBooks #amwriting #amagenting #ChristFic

Opening up to queries soon. Authors ask me what I am looking for. A nonhelpful answer is "I'll know it when I see it." Ultimately looking for:
*adult fiction maaaayyybe some YA
* something new, fresh that I haven't seen before
* if suspense: an "I didn't see that coming" moment

Adult Fiction:
(Women's fiction) psychological thrillers/suspense, mystery, & family/friendship drama. I gravitate towards upmarket/commercial.
(Contemporary Romance) rom-coms, rom-coms & more rom-coms! Would love to see more LGBTQ+, diversity, relatable, & unique plots.

YA Fiction:
Rom-coms, paranormal romance, dystopian romance, science fiction/fantasy/speculative, & thriller/suspense. I would love to see: diversity, LGBTQ+, environmental issues/climate change, school settings, and mental health.

#MSWL I’m mainly looking for speculative fiction and science fiction stories. 👉 We also publish romance, fantasy, and suspense/thrillers.

We are accepting manuscript submissions.

Stayed up far too late finishing Reckless Girls by @LadyHawkins... perfect example of the sort of suspense I'm after at the moment. Escapist, feminist, chilling, a little bit sexy, multi POV, secrets-and-lies, a proper 'shut-the-front-door' ending... #mswl fodder indeed!

I'm looking for thrillers and suspense that make me gasp at the twists, mysteries with sleuths to root for. BIPOC/LGBT/disabled voices very welcome. #MSWL

“Remember the trend of adult couple resort romcom movies? Share with me your diverse thriller/suspense equivalents.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

novels with contemporary settings need to contain at least one of the following elements: mystery, suspense, thriller, horror, or any kind of speculative something

In #horror, I'm not afraid to go dark and am open to supernatural of some kind. However, I do prefer things be grounded. Like how Midnight Mass was OUT THERE, but also very realistic? Somehow? I also love the psychological horror that overlaps with #mystery or #suspense. #MSWL

I'd really like to work on a great novel or two this year. I'm looking for propulsive #suspense, edgy #mysteries, and grounded #horror. I love dark books that keep you guessing, with characters that are well drawn and memorable. #MSWL

✨ cozy mysteries w/ high personal stakes, found family, and evocative settings
✨ "unlikable heroines" in the vein of Dorothy in A CERTAIN HUNGER and Lynnette in THE FINAL GIRL SUPPORT GROUP
✨ feminist horror, thriller, suspense, you name it

#MSWL

OK, #MSWL time. In Adult, I want SUSPENSE, especially centering women, queer characters, and BIPOC. I prefer smaller scale, with high personal stakes.

I'm not the right fit for detectives/police/military or ppl running around the world trying to stop [insert catastrophic thing]

Here are the ADULT GENRES I am seeking in 2022:
Women’s Fiction
Book Club/Commercial Fiction
Contemporary Romance/Rom-Coms
Non-Political Thrillers/Mysteries/Suspense
Horror
Historical Fiction - with a contemporary feel

Big changes in 2022. Along with my writing (under pen name), I'm now an agent with @blueridgeagency #MSWL blueridgeagency.com/LeslieTruex.ht…

#MSWL 3/5 Page-turning, atmospheric, sharply written #crime, #suspense, #thrillers They're sometimes about family/relationships or social issues or culture but are very much in their genre.

My adult #MSWL still hopes for GREAT thrillers & suspense. But IF it's historical, then it must match, re: detectives, the BRILLIANT Leo Wechsler OR Gereon Rath. If modern, it must match Maarten S. Sneijder. So far, I haven't seen a submission worthy of them. Please, send me one.

Give me all the dark, twisty, female-driven psychological suspense, please. #mswl
