#mswl overview

✨MG/YA MSWL✨

I would love to see work from Indigenous creatives especially in contemporary and speculative projects. Contemporary GNs. Mysteries and thrillers. And overall works that explore growing up whether that be its struggles or not.

YA supernatural thrillers/mysteries with toxic relationships, big emotions, betrayal, and found families.

Drumroll...🥁 @jsinsheim is open to queries!

If your manuscript is ready and you think it would be a good fit for Jessica's #mswl , view our submission guidelines here: contextlit.com/submissions

Send me more Suspense & Psychological Thrillers please! #mswl

I also LOVE a natural disaster thriller. I haven’t seen Twisters yet, but I know I’ll like it. I like that movie where The Rock punches an earthquake. Again, I’m basic. I like basic done well. That said, I’d also love a Jane Pek comp. #MSWL

Fast-paced, plot-driven contemporary thrillers—preferably super queer. I’m basic about thrillers. I love the formula. I like Reese’s picks. Just give me propulsive and in-line with the market. #MSWL

Tomorrow is the FIRST, so despite not being caught up yet, I'm opening to queries again for one week!
#MSWL for non-fiction, I'm looking for personal growth and wellness projects--women's health, brain health, and longevity.
Fiction = horror, fantasy, and psychological thrillers!

An isolated thriller! I eat them up like popcorn!

I'd also love to see a thriller following a queer friend group or found family! Recently enjoyed First Lie Wins.

Book club is reading A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder right now and again I am SO hungry for a YA thriller/murder mystery pleaseeeee!!! #MSWL

This, but lesbian, is exactly what I want in a thriller #MSWL

Genre-blending narratives
-mysteries/suspense/thrillers set in more sci-fi or fantasy worlds
-speculative romance
-horror elements blended into SFF (cosmic horror-esque)
-surprise me!!

In Adult, I would particularly love a funny/satirical horror, a humorous, over-the-top mystery/thriller, or a locked room mystery in a spec fic setting.

I'm NOT typically the right fit for hist fic, military, police procedurals, high fantasy/sci-fi, dystopian, or literary fic.

I am also open to the following in Adult, though prefer if they have a strong romantic subplot:
-horror
-mystery (a la Knives Out)
-thriller/suspense
-women’s fiction
-grounded/accessible SFF

I would like to see more queries in my Inbox that offer great escapism, both on the adult as on the YA side: horror, thrillers, mysteries, romance. #MSWL .

I am now open for one week: Upmarket/Literary and Commercial contemporary thrillers: twists, dash of horror, big stakes, great characters, complex issues, tight story lines. Next week I open to another genre. Submit here: QueryManager.com/ErinNiumata #mswl

Next Friday, 19th of July, I will be open for Upmarket/Literary and Commercial contemporary thrillers with twists, a dash of horror, big stakes, great characters, complex issues, tight story lines. NO COSIES #amquerying #thrillerbooks #MSWL

I love dark crime thrillers, literary horror, suspense, complex espionage tales, genre mash-ups, whether they feature female or male protagonists.

Behold! Here's my highly attractive handwriting illustrating the ✨new categories✨ I'll be open to when I reopen to queries!

I'll soon also be looking for New Adult Contemporary, New Adult Thrillers/Mysteries, & New Adult Horror/Horrormance (not too gruesome though!) #MSWL
