#MSWL 3/5 Page-turning, atmospheric, sharply written #crime, #suspense, #thrillers They're sometimes about family/relationships or social issues or culture but are very much in their genre.

Just a heads up that I will be closed to submissions on December 15th. In the meantime, you can find details on my #mswl and querying on my website (URL is in my bio).

Are the characters complicated and fresh but at the same time, familiar? I'm looking for a thriller that's pulse-pounding, a commercial novel that makes me forget I'm working, and a romance where the chemistry is palpable and builds throughout the book. (2/4)

FYI: Queries read through 11/25. MSS to come. // Happy Thanksgiving! Peace! // #MSWL: all good things; ever-keen on representing a genie thriller, romance a la Rainbow Rowell, clever picture books, illustrators with visions, + more. // Closed. Until next updates.

I would really love to see more adult projects in my inbox. #MSWL -- especially:
*Underrepresented women in history
*Thriller
*Romance
*LIGHT fantasy (if House on the Cerulean Sea is a comp-yes please)
*LGBTQIA+ stories (especially joyful ones)

"Thrillers like WHAT HAVE YOU DONE by Matthew Farrell." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#mswl Military or espionage thriller written by a been-there-done-that veteran a la Brad Taylor or Leo J. Maloney.

“Psychological thrillers with elements of horror (light on the gore).” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

My adult #MSWL still hopes for GREAT thrillers & suspense. But IF it's historical, then it must match, re: detectives, the BRILLIANT Leo Wechsler OR Gereon Rath. If modern, it must match Maarten S. Sneijder. So far, I haven't seen a submission worthy of them. Please, send me one.

Hungry for submissions! Also really looking to be swept off my feet with a great voicey fantasy (non-royal, preferably). #mswl

I’ve been getting thru my requested submissions and looking for more!

#mswl:
YA grounded thrillers, high concept contemporary with a speculative twist
MG non-portal fantasy, speculative twists, intergenerational stories

Everything with and by marginalized people please!

For YA, I’m pretty wide open in terms of genre:
contemporary
thriller
mystery
horror
high fantasy with a unique magic system
historical fiction about underrepresented experiences
science fiction
#mswl (2/7)

Overall I'm looking for mysteries (cozy or not), adult and ya romcoms, fantasy, thriller, sci fi and horror, but here are a few concepts and ideas that I'm specifically interested in lately:

For #YA, I'd love to see more psychological #thrillers, #mysteries, #light atmospheric horror. Give me a YA Girl, Interrupted, please. I'd also love to see more #BIPOC and #queer stories that lead with joy here - #romance, #romcoms.

Can we get more domestic thrillers with broader definitions of "domestic"? I love reading a good suburban, white, het, middle class, nuclear family takedown as much as the next person, but there's nothing reflecting my life or experiences in there at all. #MSWL

As much as I would like to deny it, autumn is definitely here - and while I sulk about long dark nights, I would love to find a great mystery/thriller to read by the fire (had I a fire).

Recent read NEVER SAW ME COMING exactly hit the spot: pacy, twisty, and campus-set!

#MSWL

"Dark, twisted, borderline disturbing… words I’d use to describe my interest in thrillers. Not looking for gore at the moment, but definitely into psychological elements. Especially fictionalized accounts of actual crimes." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Last night I procrastinated so much on Actual Things (cleaning? life? etc) that I made myself a website 👀 taragonzalez.com

My #MSWL and more. Thanks @JerichoWriters!

I want to see more childfree themes in my submissions, specifically in mystery, suspense, thrillers, and horror. Anyone out there working on something exciting? #amquerying #WritingCommunity #MSWL
