For a YA/crossover readership (my initial focus), I'd particularly love to see original, immersive speculative and fantasy novels (especially if inspired by an unusual setting or underrepresented history, mythology or culture), horror, dystopian, romance and thrillers.

Here's Aashna's #mswl ! She's looking for authors and illustrators in a wide range of genres and categories!

"I would love an atmospheric environmental thriller or mystery akin to WILD DARK SHORE by Charlotte McConaghy or FORCE OF NATURE by Jane Harper where the wild setting is a main character."
Marina Green #MSWL

"Send me thrillers like WHAT HAVE YOU DONE by Matthew Farrell."

Thrillers! Think psychological or domestic, rather than supernatural. I’m not the best fit for mystery or crime, but I love when mysteries or crimes occur in thrillers. #MSWL

My #MSWL is officially live, and I can publicly announce that I've been promoted to Associate Agent at jenniedunhamlit.bsky.social. This is a dream. I'm so excited to begin building my list, and can't wait to hear from you! <3 www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/le...

"I'm hungry for literary horror, thrillers, domestic dramas, and psychological suspense that tackle socio-cultural criticisms."

"Looking for psychological crime thrillers like Ruth Ware." curtisrussell.bsky.social #MSWL

I’m looking for an eco-dystopian thriller set in the near future, with a strong female lead and an original, compelling plot. Any ideas out there? #MSWL #literaryagency #literaryagent

"For rom coms, my taste veers towards genre-blends, i.e. a rom com that's also a family saga or a romcom com that's also a thriller. DIAL A FOR AUNTIES by Jesse Q. Sutanto is a great example and my all-time favorite rom com."
CeCe Lyra #MSWL

I’m open to queries through the 7th!

I am on the hunt for MG and YA mysteries/thrillers, gothic horror, and intricate, inventive fantasy!

I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer writers.

YOUNG ADULT #YA
Vibrant and bold young adult novels with exceptional pacing and a distinct voice. My priorities in this space are horror (bonus points if rooted in folk lore) and mystery/thriller stories with a BIPOC main character.

Heist or mystery/thriller but make it picture book #MSWL

"I would love more mystery, thrillers, and psychological horror centering BIPOC and underrepresented characters."

Jessica is open to queries! 🎉 #mswl jsinsheim.bsky.social

I’m looking for ALL genres of MG and YA, but might be slightly prioritizing….
- MG magical realism
- MG animal fantasy
- YA fantasy/sci-fi (DYSTOPIA)
- YA contemporary
- YA thriller
- historical fiction OR alternate history in both age groups

Recently (finally!) read "The God of the Woods" by Liz Moore. Such an incredible read! I'd love to see more character-driven and multiple-POV mysteries/thrillers in my inbox. #MSWL #currentlyreading

"I'm interested in upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues – THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING are two of my all-time favorites."
