Replying to @McgeheeJess

I am looking for upmarket or literary speculative fiction like STATION ELEVEN, but I'm not right for straight fantasy or SFF. #MSWL So yes, I might be right for this, but I would only know if I read the query.

As you know I've been on the hunt for more #ownvoices and #diversebooks in nonfiction & fiction in mystery, suspense, thriller, upmarket & literary, & women's fiction. #MSWL

I'll be quite honest, I'm tired of the white, male, straight cop. It isn't that I won't read or consider, I'm just bored and I don't want to be bored. Give me the lesbian mother fighting for her child or the POC cop. Give me more women and give me something I haven't seen #MSWL

I'd also like to see fun, sweary, powerful, in your face self-help nonfiction--like YOU ARE A BADASS or THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A F**CK, but I'd like them to be written by women. #MSWL

Give me GONE GIRL (for lack of a better comp) with POC, give me OTHER PEOPLE'S HOUSES with POC, give me the LGBTQ version of BIG LITTLE LIES, give me NEXT YEAR IN HAVANA, give me CRAZY RICH ASIANS #MSWL

While #ownvoices and #diversebooks have caught on in YA, I'm still struggling to see it in adult and, frankly, that's what I want more of. #MSWL My target genres right now are: literary & upmarket fiction, mystery, suspense, thriller, & women's fiction.

I read a book where a female cop wakes up next to her partner. I was so disappointed when her partner was male. Give me the mystery/suspense with the lesbian cop living her life. #MSWL

I'll accept you're not perfect if you accept that I'm not perfect. We'll work together for as long as we've got it in us to do so (hopefully a lifetime) and when struggles arise we'll talk our way through it because I want someone who knows that communication is key. #MSWL

I want to be someone's business partner, sometime therapist, occasional editor, bad cop to your good cop, advocate, and even someone to share a laugh or two with. #MSWL

I'm looking for an author, not just a book. Someone with a great voice, a terrific plot, and fun and exciting characters. I'm looking for someone who wants to grow, be edited & is open to making a career shift if the market requires it. #MSWL
