I like romance, but I especially love when the romance plot is super layered and there are other things going on. 💖

Domestic/social thrillers with a strong voice. 📝

Anything that tackles capitalism in an unexpected way. 💰

I love mystery thrillers that explore a ‘true’ crime and its repercussions. Think A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU and JACKAL.

I’m looking for upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues. THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING live rent-free in my brain.

I’m also a super-duper realistic horror fan (Scream and Jaws are two of my favorite all-time movies), so I’m here for contemporary realistic slashers that aren’t too gory, thrillers, and whodunnits (Scream is a whodunnit!!) in #YA #MSWL

for my birthday (yesterday, but it still counts!) i am giving myself the gift of doing something a little bit scary: tweeting out my first ever #MSWL 🥹manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/crys…

More generically, I am always looking for psychological and domestic thrillers that make my heart pump and beads of sweat break out on my forehead.

Domestic suspense and thrillers are also up my alley. Think more drama (YELLOWJACKETS, FROM, GONE GIRL) than espionage. #MSWL 🧵

What am I looking for? Horror, horror, HORROR. Obviously. Also, thriller, suspense, and nonfiction by experts in their fields. So let’s dive in a little more a #MSWL 🧵

I would also love some darker stories — thrillers, mysteries. Send me your revenge stories #MSWL
Note that I still want them to end in hope ❤️

I'd love some genre fiction (thriller/suspense/crime/speculative) from unique perspectives with authentic and unusual narrative voices. But I'm not the best fit for true crime or epic fantasy.

Always intrigued by stories told over one night like We Are the Wildcats, or thrillers over one night, like a #YA version of Survive the Night. #MSWL

In YA, I'd love to see:
🌞Queer romance
🌞Thrillers with isolated settings
🌞Horror with gothic and atmospheric vibes
🌞Historical that centers on POC stories
🌞Subversive and dark fantasy

I’m REALLY looking for mystery/thrillers/suspense in both the YA and adult space, ESPECIALLY from marginalized populations. However, I am not the right fit for law enforcement protagonists or love interests.

For the basics, I represent: MG horror, mysteries, & thrillers; YA SFF, horror, mysteries, & thrillers; adult SFF, horror, mysteries, & thrillers; select YA/adult GN; and select adult NF. More niche wants below ⬇️

#MSWL - some specifics but it doesn’t mean I’m not open to other things
F/F romances — especially adult romances
Thrillers/mysteries
Historicals from underrepresented voices
Adult light fantasies
Feminist stories
Author/illustrator GN
Stories w/ speculative elements

"Psychological thrillers with new twists on my favorite classic tropes: unstable (or unhinged) narrators, missing memories or time, seemingly decent people with dark pasts, stalking, gaslighting in any form."

Gloomy, threatening, or naturally dangerous settings can go a long way in a thriller. But there’s something terrifying about bad things happening in beautiful, “safe” locations we associate w/ escape. This is a #mswl tweet but also promo for YOU CAN TRUST ME by @wendydheard
