If you think Fleabag had some of the best writing in the last fifteen years, we think alike. True story––last night I had a visit with a close friend I hadn’t seen in a few years, and when I asked if she’d seen Fleabag, she lunged over to hug me tightly as her answer. #MSWL

#MSWL: Rich, chewy, literary-leaning fiction. Characters I haven’t seen 10 times over, characters with internal & external conflict. I’m especially drawn to international voices, women’s voices, and voices of the other, as they often help us understand our own familiar world.

If you have a fantasy or a sci-fi or a thriller with horror elements, I really really really want to read it #mswl

I might also just mention that I tend to love very "voicy" books. If your writing style tends to be more character-driven and voice-driven, please submit to me! To name some Becky Albertalli, Rick Riordan, Maggie Stiefvater, TJ Klune, Casey McQuiston. #MSWL

Same (*waves at artists*) #mswl

"Kill your darlings," but make it a suspenseful YA with a heart-stopping twist. #MSWL

"Non-fiction like Matthew Crawford's SHOP CLASS AS SOULCRAFT." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Same. #MSWL

Hardcore #mswl

I'm also a true crime watcher/reader/consumer...one does not grow up in Des Plaines, IL and not know one's serial killers...so send me those wild ripped-from-the-headlines stories. #mswl

I love books with a great Oh Shit moment, and I'm not afraid of grit and gore. Really, a person can only feel so bad about the things they do to fictional characters. #MSWL

More than anything else, I want a book to make me feel something. I'm up for all kinds of characters and stories, but it's more important that I'm swept into their story. Scare me! Make me laugh! Make me stay up late turning pages. #MSWL

#MSWL Lately I seem to be watching a lot of TV centered on brothers (Prison Break, Mayans M.C., Supernatural, etc.) so I would love to see a brothers book. Or a bromance. I like sister books, too. I have two of them. (Sisters, not books.)

Romance please 😊❤️

For #MSWL day, here's my current list: I am always looking for high-concept commercial fiction for MG, YA, adult. Favorite genres are horror, mystery, suspense, thriller, and contemporary.

I love #MG and #YA stories with witty banter/mother-daughter relationships/quirky towns in the same vein as Gilmore Girls! #MSWL

Want to see more #YA protagonists with unique passions/hobbies, ala With the Fire On High. #MSWL

I am still searching for a time travel/Outlander inspired #YA! #MSWL

Would like to find more #contemporary coming-of-age #MG stories. #MSWL
