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 .

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ariell-cacciola/

Specific #MSWL :

Stories that involve managing fame/fortune as an emerging adult (could be ensemble cast as in the protagonist is a member of an idol group) & could involve pace-y elements of suspense/romance. Really looking for high concept, not too introspective stuff.

Tidbits on what I’m hunting: adult/YA horror; romance (sweet, dark, steam; romcoms, meet cutes, sports hero protagonists, etc.); thrillers/psych susp.; YA dark academia; adult/YA fantasy/romantasy (r’masy must be very unique); & more. Read #mswl #WritingCommmunity #amquerying

Send in those queries. Full #MSWL on Query Manager. #writersoftwitter #WritingCommunity

Actively looking for creepy, dreadful suspense to ring in the autumn season #mswl

New #MSWL ! I'm building my adult list, so I'd love to see adult thrillers/suspense. Send me your psychological, domestic, and serial killer thrillers. I LOVE dark!!! No medical, political, legal, or spy thrillers. 1/3 #WritingCommunity

Genre-blending narratives
-mysteries/suspense/thrillers set in more sci-fi or fantasy worlds
-speculative romance
-horror elements blended into SFF (cosmic horror-esque)
-surprise me!!

I am also open to the following in Adult, though prefer if they have a strong romantic subplot:
-horror
-mystery (a la Knives Out)
-thriller/suspense
-women’s fiction
-grounded/accessible SFF

I love dark crime thrillers, literary horror, suspense, complex espionage tales, genre mash-ups, whether they feature female or male protagonists.

Writers of thrillers, suspense, horror--both female and male protagonists: I'm a new literary agent (after 19 years as an acquiring editor) looking to help talented authors find their publisher. Let's work together. Email in bio. #amquering

I am open to queries! I need to prioritize current authors, so right now there are very specific types of books that I will be paying closer attention to.

Submission instructions are at dunhamlit.com, and this graphic will hopefully also help you plan when to query me.

You can find my bio and #MSWL on the ALA site: azantianlitagency.com/pages/team-ta.html

May/June my focus will be on Non-Fiction (all ages, but especially non-memoir NF) and Adult Action/Adventure/Suspense.

For fiction, I'm looking for authors who write thrillers, suspense, espionage, historical, literary, mystery and horror. Contact in bio. #MSWL #amquerying
