I'd really like a female-driven thriller that has a new take on the "maybe I can't trust the [partner/friend/parent] I trust most in the world" trope, ideally in a stunning setting (mountains! island! creepy manor on the moors!) #MSWL

I admire writers who can write Mystery/Thriller/Crime Fiction & execute it.

I wish I was that talented & I’m so passionate to represent them.

From Raymond Chandler, Agatha Christie, Sue Grafton to Karen Slaughter...if your writing is similar. Please send them my way ❤️ #MSWL

I don’t want military or political thrillers. Think more psychological or something that leans more to the literary side.

For the first time I am expanding my #MSWL to include thrillers. I am super picky with what I like, but if you write along the lines of YOU, SHARP OBJECTS, or THE WIFE BETWEEN US please send it my way.

It's starting to feel like fall here in CO, and the season change has me hankering for some creepy #YA reads - atmospheric #horror, grounded, dark #mysteries, psychological #thrillers. Bring it on, writers! #getinmyhead #MSWL

Hi, #amquerying authors! If you're writing suspense/a thriller with a really evocative setting - whether a gloomy manor, a remote edge of the earth, an island paradise, a luxe hotel, a city's underbelly - PLEASE send it my way! I'm desperate for an escapist page turner... #MSWL

2. Adult thrillers/suspense: I like stories w/ top notch characterization + a slow burn, and also stories that are gripping page turners that I finish in one sitting. A few favorites: Ruth Ware, Rhiannon Navin, Wendy Heard, Gillian Flynn, Danya Kukafka, Oyinkan Braithwaite #mswl

I’m eager to find YA thrillers, mysteries, psychological suspense that are brilliantly plotted. Think the work of Tiffany D. Jackson, Lamar Giles, E. Lockhart’s WE WERE LIARS, Karen McManus, etc. All would love to find original horror like WILDER GIRLS. #mswl

I'm also looking for that book-club/psych thriller middle-ground, in the vein of Liane Moriarty, where there are lots of dark secrets and surprising twists and characters that could be someone you know.

BRUH, imagine this as a domestic suspense thriller? The stakes, tension, mystery surrounding a newly dead spouse or the fear a spouse has that their partner would commit murder to protect their job...I WANT IT!!! #mswl
