I am open to queries! I don’t know how long I’ll stay open, but here’s a little #mswl -

-Book club fiction that feels like someone turned Noah Kahan’s Downfall, Willing and Able, or Haircut into a novel

-Suspense with a horror edge, and bonus points if it has a romantic element

✨Mystery/Thriller ✨
-Psychological or domestic suspense with a strong hook
-High-stakes premise that escalates quickly
-Unreliable narrators or morally complex characters
-Bingeable pacing with sharp twists
-Cozy mysteries with a unique setting, voice, or hook (3/8)

#MSWL I’m looking for fiction that changes how I see the world after I close the book.

Upmarket, literary-commercial, elevated suspense, speculative with emotional weight, unforgettable voice. A story that I want to keep reading.

I love all manner of mysteries: literary suspense, noir, historical, psychological thrillers, cozies, etc. #MSWL

Mystery / suspense / thrillers are always on my #MSWL . I love immersive settings that drive the plot and psychological stories that employ well-worn tropes in new and interesting ways.

Some perennial favorites: Liz Moore, S. A. Cosby, Tana French, Mary Kubica, Ashley Elston, Kimi Cunningham Grant

Happy #MSWL Day! I'm especially seeking contemporary upmarket fiction & psychological suspense. Click pics below for specifics that will grab my attention! Open to subs the 1st-5th of each month. See website link in bio for sub info.

I'm opening to queries on Monday and will be posting some #MSWL thoughts today. Check my website for full guidelines but I'm open to adult fantasy, adult science fiction, adult horror, adult mystery/suspense, and young adult horror. I'm not looking for MG, most YA, or romantasy at this time.

I've updated my #MSWL for 2026!

I'm still very focused on Crime, Mystery, Suspense, and Thrillers, but I'd also love to find upmarket/BookClub, Literary fiction, and True-crime!
