Hi agents, I’m on the hunt for high-concept layered YA & MG novels! #MSWL

For YA: romantic fantasy; dark academia; mystery/thrillers like We Were Liars or Firekeeper’s Daughter; thought-provoking horror or gothic; romantic coming of age like Aristotle & Dante & Last Night at the Telegraph Club 1/3

#MSWL A YA thriller/mystery in the vein of Angeline Boulley with deep layers of character, story, and theme.

Now reopened to queries! Updated my #mswl with everything I’m looking for but the pic shows my number 1 type of story/genre. This does not exclude the rest of my MSWL tho! #writingcommunity
#anquerying

In adult fiction I'm looking for...speculative horror/thriller, contemporary romance, philosophical sci-fi, fantasy with cozy magical realism, identity driven book club fiction #mswl

All I want right now is a Horror, Thriller, a Spec novel (YA or Adult) with time loops, parallel universes, or alternate realities #mswl Preferably dark and queer.

Think Oxenfree (video game), and Dark (Netflix, German).

I want it baaad.

"I'm interested in thrillers that explore the fallout of a crime. Who does it impact, and how? What is justice? Think A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, and JACKAL."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

"Send in your stylish mysteries and thrillers. I want bold, fun, and clever takes on the genre’s common tropes like KNIVES OUT, KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE, and WHITE COLLAR. I'm looking for the next THE BIG SLEEP by Raymond Chandler."

On the lookout for a propulsive thriller with women teaming up not tearing each other down #MSWL

Adult genre fiction, especially horror (send all your horror!!!), mystery/thriller, and romance. Selectively happy to consider sci-fi and fantasy.

And as many know I’ve spent a long time in children’s, and I’m still considering all children’s titles for Zando. Many more…

I've updated my #MSWL for 2026!

I'm still very focused on Crime, Mystery, Suspense, and Thrillers, but I'd also love to find upmarket/BookClub, Literary fiction, and True-crime!

"Send me thrillers (legal, medical, political, etc.) and mysteries (cozy, private eye, police procedural, etc.)"

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

"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

#mswl

My top two #mswl wishlist items for 2026 are:
- an exciting adult mystery or thriller with something to say. Something that feels like Alyssa Cole's WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING or
kellyekell.bsky.social's MISSING WHITE WOMAN
- mg or ya set in Appalachia by someone from there. Especially with 🏳️‍🌈 or ♿️ rep

I’d love to read more first person mystery and thrillers! Especially with Female main characters! #mswl

"I'm seeking supernatural and psychological thrillers."

"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."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

"I would love atmospheric and speculative mysteries and thrillers that skew psychological and cerebral with unreliable narrators. Stories where the setting is the main character and characters have full and dynamic backstories!"
