Clocking in for #MSWL Day duty 🫡

I’ve updated my profile on the website (will be linking below) but the tldr of it is that I’m looking for #horror #speculative #contemporary #upmarket and #literary #fiction for #adult and #ya . For #nonfiction I want to see #jounrnalism and #culturalcriticism

Happy inaugural #mswl day to all who are #writing and #querying ! I’m a literary agent looking for adult fiction and nonfiction. You’ll find my full #mswl profile here, www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/la..., and below is a snapshot of what I'd love to represent this year.

Happy #MSWL day! Working with a decent amount of nonfiction now, so would love voice-driven upmarket fiction to balance it out. Always enjoy a splash of genre and weirdness with a heart (MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES; THE WEDDING PEOPLE, etc.) Full wishlist:

Reposting my wishlist here for #MSWL day: www.watsonlittle.com/agent/hannah...

I'd love to find more thrillers and suspense (especially with a horror edge), and general commercial and upmarket fiction. Give my colleagues a try for romantasy and literary fiction!

Hi all! It's #MSWL Day and I'm looking for more smart upmarket suspense like this!

The number one item on my wish list right now is upmarket and literary fiction. Contemporary or speculative. Anything strange, weird, or depressing is for me. #MSWL

Mostly, I'm looking for upmarket and literary fiction in a lot of categories, including mysteries, speculative, historical and horror. If you blend some of these genres together--amazing! I also like upmarket and literary fiction that doesn't fall into a genre category. #MSWL

Here goes an adult fiction #MSWL :
- Book Club/Upmarket fiction with elevated prose
- Literary Fiction with a commercial hook

Bonus Points:
- Smart social commentary
- Humor
- Elements of genre fiction
- Southern US or Italian settings

1/ First things first: my name is Ginger and I'm an agent at Movable Type Management. I represent books for adults (sorry, no YA/MG/Kidlit) across all genres. I'm looking for commercial and upmarket women's fiction—especially thrillers, rom-coms, mysteries and select horror...

On the hunt for #darkacademia novels, particularly those that are a bit more upmarket and less magical - The Secret History vibes. If you have a crime novel set in a university, boarding school, library - it might be for me. #mswl

I'm actively acquiring and looking primarily for these genres at the moment! #mswl #thrillers #horror #fantasy #publishing #fiction #querying

I’m looking for new authors to join my list of literary, upmarket, and bookclub fiction at @madeleinemilburn and would love to hear from you if you have a project to share!

i’m in the mood to read some literary & upmarket fiction about perimenopause (specific, i know) make it sexy and funny and a little fucked up and i’m there 😏 #mswl #amquerying

Someone must've boosted the literary agents starter pack again because my follows are blowing up, so here's my
#MSWL : www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ro...

TL;DR: Send me literary & upmarket adult fiction and narrative nonfiction; closed to kidlit (inc YA) and unlikely to sign SFF right now

For the next two weeks we are open to adult upmarket/literary/commercial fiction (speculative elements including horror, etc. are OK!) and then we'll open to remaining genres like SFF

Upmarket psych or domestic thrillers/mys; non-cozy, non-police solving crimes
· THE PUSH by Ashley Audrain
· THE WRITING RETREAT by Julia Bartz
· NONE OF THIS IS TRUE by Lisa Jewell
· WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME by Gillian McAllister
· BRIGHT YOUNG WOMEN by Jessica Knoll

#MSWL (6/10)

Very happy to share my #MSWL , working alongside @ecniumata !

Upmarket or book club fiction that blends genres, including speculative (always enjoy some spookiness!), fantasy/sci-fi, historical, mystery/thriller, etc. (1/10)

Now open for queries! Looking for commercial and upmarket mystery/thriller with a dash of horror, possible speculative elements. Think THE HOUSEMAID, THE WRITING RETREAT, THE PUSH. querytracker.net/query/3237 #writingcommunity #amwriting #writers #MSWL #Mysterywriters #thrillers #booksky

#MSWL

Commercial and upmarket fiction across genres, especially novels with unusual behind-the-scenes locations, female friendships, a feminist bent, aspirational settings, diverse authors and experiences, and high concept ‘what if’ premises.

👉 Grounded fiction with an edge—magical realism, speculative elements, and sharp hooks. Fantasy always welcome, but I’m leaning toward reality-anchored stories right now.
👉 Commercial & Upmarket fiction
👉 Mike Flanagan vibes—emotional, haunting, deeply human—I want it. (3/4)
