"I'm seeking supernatural and psychological thrillers."

"I'm interested in upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues – THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING are two of my all-time favorites."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

"I would love atmospheric and speculative mysteries and thrillers that skew psychological and cerebral with unreliable narrators. Stories where the setting is the main character and characters have full and dynamic backstories!"
Marina Green #MSWL

I’m 19% into The Chain by Adrain McKinty and I’d love to this kind of thriller in my query inbox! #mswl

#mswl

In addition, I'm looking for adult genre fiction, ranging from romance, mystery/thriller, and selectively sci-fi and fantasy. #Agents send me the things that blur genre too. #mswl

🫨 thrillers with absolutely unpredictable endings, I neeeed something in the vein of We Were Liars where the twist slaps you in the face and you get SO mad and rate it 3* on Goodreads and then go back a month later to rate it 5* because you’re STILL thinking about it

it’s spooky season and I want to read some spooky queries 👻 I’m still very much on the hunt for horror and thrillers in both MG (is MG thriller a thing? it should be…) and YA! here are a few concepts really piquing my interest right now 👇🏻🎃 #mswl #amquerying

MSWL (4/?)
Suspense/Thriller/Mystery - open to comedy in these but do love gritty; dual timelines; cold cases; spec elements

No cop procedurals or heavy police POVs

Yes to cults; religion welcome if leaning on the cult vibes or paranormal/mythological (think Midnight Mass)

MSWL (1/?)

Adult & YA
Marginalized/Indigenous/POC only

Horror

Fantasy

GN

Contemporary

Suspense/Thriller/Mystery

Adult Women's Fiction

#MSWL I’d really love a YA thriller/mystery in the vein of Angeline Boulley.

"I'm interested in thrillers that explore the fallout of a crime. Who does it impact, and how? What is justice? Think A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, and JACKAL."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

"Send in your stylish mysteries and thrillers. I want bold, fun, and clever takes on the genre’s common tropes like KNIVES OUT, KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE, and WHITE COLLAR. I'm looking for the next THE BIG SLEEP by Raymond Chandler."

Does your book relate to any of these? If so, send me a query! #MSWL

I'd love to add more voice-y, fast-paced commercial thrillers and suspense stories to my list! Fast-paced doesn't mean world counts below 75K words though! #MSWL #literaryagent #amquerying
