-crime, thrillers and suspense. Either cosy (e.g Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans or Richard Osman-esque), blackly comic (like My Sister, the Serial Killer) or intelligent and inclusive (Gillian Flynn vibes). I also love novels that feature a 'beat the system' narrative

This was part of my #MSWL for 2023 and I am carrying it over to 2024 because I am dying for more thriller/suspense in my inbox!

Finally YA mystery or thrillers. I am a SUCKER for mystery in a small town, and kids left to their own defenses to solve it

UPDATE!!! I'm open to queries again!!! Here's my updated #MSWL : https://manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/lynnette-novak/ Can't wait to see your projects!!! #WritingCommunity #amagenting #amquerying

My main jam is thrillers, so I’d love to see more in this area. This includes horror (supernatural horror, not slasher horror), mystery, suspense, domestic thriller, psychological, etc. Fast-paced, high tension, high stakes, please! Ghosts & haunted houses are a huge draw for me.

If you are an author hoping to be traditionally published, check out my Manuscript Wish List manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/brandy-vallance/

For thrillers, I love complicated family dynamics, twisted female friendships, and tense mother daughter relationships.
I like dual POV or time periods- think THE SUNDOWN MOTEL. Big fan of Lucy Foley and Wendy Walker. Would love to see more locked room thrillers as well.

I acquire a few genres between our two imprints, but to break it down:

Crooked Lane:
thrillers, historical mysteries, cozy mysteries, and horror.

Alcove Press:
historical fiction, magical realism, speculative fiction, romcoms, bookclub fiction, and romantasy.
