Editor's note: Mystery and thriller

In mystery and thriller manuscripts, editors look closely at pacing, how clues are planted, and whether the ending is earned rather than sprung.

If you're a first-time author with a mystery or thriller, you shouldn't have to guess where to start. Our process is straightforward: you share your questionnaire, we review what you submitted, and we follow up with next steps if there's a strong fit.

  • Editorial feedback and direction tailored to new writers
  • A clear path from questionnaire submission to publication planning
  • A publishing partner built for first-time voices and thoughtful storytelling
