Happy to announce I’m reopened to queries! Check my #MSWL for what’s on my priority list but sneak peak: give me lots of romcom, steamy romance, psych thrillers, eerie horror, soft to medium fantasy, dark academia & space! 🫶🏻

#MSWL

-Isolated thrillers. Give me your ocean settings

-Anything that comps to SADIE, GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER, VERA WONG, NO EXIT. THE WRITING RETREAT

I'd love to queer up the commercial horror and thriller space even more! Agents, let's talk!

Upmarket psych or domestic thrillers/mys; non-cozy, non-police solving crimes
· THE PUSH by Ashley Audrain
· THE WRITING RETREAT by Julia Bartz
· NONE OF THIS IS TRUE by Lisa Jewell
· WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME by Gillian McAllister
· BRIGHT YOUNG WOMEN by Jessica Knoll

#MSWL (6/10)

Very happy to share my #MSWL , working alongside @ecniumata !

Upmarket or book club fiction that blends genres, including speculative (always enjoy some spookiness!), fantasy/sci-fi, historical, mystery/thriller, etc. (1/10)

Now open for queries! Looking for commercial and upmarket mystery/thriller with a dash of horror, possible speculative elements. Think THE HOUSEMAID, THE WRITING RETREAT, THE PUSH. querytracker.net/query/3237 #writingcommunity #amwriting #writers #MSWL #Mysterywriters #thrillers #booksky

I’d love to see some more propulsive thrillers with a feminist edge in my inbox #MSWL

Something I can’t get enough of is REALITY TV with a SFF, horror, or thriller/mystery element. #mswl

Think The Selection, Hunger Games, though doesn’t have to be YA.

Not a fit for contemporary romance reality TV. It needs a genre element to really pique my interest.

YA: thrillers and suspense, I especially like unreliable narrators, locked room settings and time clocks. Fast paced action is a little more my vibe than slow burn mystery.

In general, my #MSWL includes big emotions, multi-level plots, female friendships, sweeping urban fantasy, clever fairytale retellings, reimagined classics, unique story structures, locked-room YA thrillers, MG with magical creatures, heists & spies & assassins, rivals to lovers, and diverse voices.

Tropes and other things I like to see in mysteries/thrillers: spunky girls, amateur detectives, blackmail, dark backstories, old houses, clever twists, libraries, ghosts and the supernatural, locked rooms, #BIPOC and #LGBTQ protagonists, folklore-inspired tales

Still going through Query Manager. If I don't find what I'm looking for, here's my 2025 #MSWL . A Thriller comp to NONE OF THIS IS TRUE by @lisajewelluk , a Sapphic Romance comp to @DHawkinsAuthor NOT IN THE PLAN, a PB comp to @BrianGehrlein THE BOOKS OF RULES. #amquerying

👉 Adult suspense, thriller, or horror with unrelenting tension.
👉 Dark, intense stories with twists that leave me breathless.
👉 Genre-blending romance, especially horror romance. Anything that pushes the boundaries of romance while keeping the emotional core intact. (2/4)

And I'm always looking for Big Pitch Thrillers. If your story has an idea that makes people go "wow, that sounds amazing", please send it my way.

also!

- indigenous writers of all genres, especially in horror, romcom, thrillers, upmarket & litfic
- novels with biting humor and tons of heart a la THE RACHEL INCIDENT and GOOD MATERIAL
- anything that feels like a warm hug, a sweater knitted with love, a hot cup of tea (& still has some bite!)

looking ahead to my holiday reading, here’s a quick #mswl :

- family dramas with a romantic subplot (non-xmas the family stone!)
- lit fic that explores sexuality, relationships (give me a bisexual protagonist pls!)
- romantic thriller, romantic sci fi
- genre mash ups!!

#amquerying #romancelandia

Really hungry for adult/New Adult contemporary romance: sweet, steamy, romcom, poly, why choose, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, slow burn. YA contemporary rom, dark academia, gothic, horror, sf. Adult horror, thriller, psychological. Soft-med fantasy, sf, space opera #MSWL

Adding that I'm still so hungry for pacey lesbian thriller, especially anything that can be described as Master of the House but lesbian. If that's your book, let me know. 👀

#MSWL

Right now, I’m especially looking for:
📚Smart upmarket & book club fiction
📚 Women’s fic
📚 Horror
📚 Thrillers with a twist
📚 Rom-coms (any spice level)

A snapshot of some genres I don’t rep:
🚫 Kidlit
🚫 SF / F
🚫 Memoirs (but I am open to hybrid memoirs!)

I did miss having somewhere to do #MSWL so I am happy this is an option

#MSWL for thriller procedurals. They're what I want to read right now.

I have a lot of *hard* fantasy in YA so I'm still looking for ⤵️

Adult romantasy
Young adult horror, thriller/mystery, & paranormal (I like horror that lends to the aesthetic of horror but w/ whimsy opposed to gore (Wednesday, Beetlejuice, Haunted Mansion, R.L. Stine).
