As a woman I don’t have that privilege. I can’t walk with earbuds. I need to be aware that someone is (seemingly) stalking me. I’m not necessarily safe. I would have moved when the (seeming) stalker sat. Just enough to keep an eye on them.Then I thought, this is the book I want. A reverse You. A woman obsessively stalking a man who has the privilege of not noticing. A privilege that makes her job very easy. #MSWL

This has been a good week for catching up on submissions. My #MSWL hasn’t changed much—women’s fiction, suspense, upmarket & literary. Also nonfiction (no memoir please). My inbox has room.

Just started The Whisper Network & like Big, Little, Lies it has a transcript element (from a court transcript). I LOVE this and would love to see more epistolary novels. #MSWL

In YA there exist friendship breakup books. This is a hard fact of the teen years. It doesn’t end in adulthood. I’d like to see these books in women’s fiction. #MSWL

.@BookEndsJessica and I have been super interested in this "sharenting" craze. We think it would make for so many good books. #MSWL fastcompany.com/90315706/kids-…Definitely interested in a book on this theme: women's fiction, psych suspense, suspense, thriller (YA would be better for @jamerrson) #MSWL

Some of my favorite examples for books that have inspired me include You are a Badass, Start with Why, The One Thing, Go for No (although slightly odd)...can I get more like this? #MSWLI desperately want more mindful books in all genres--business, career, job hunting, parenting, etc. Experts need apply. #MSWL Thanks!!!

I had a really fun lunch yesterday with a nonfiction business editor and now I'm totally fired up to find more business/career/personal empowerment books especially by AOC & women, but for all readers. #MSWLSome of my favorite examples for books that have inspired me include You are a Badass, Start with Why, The One Thing, Go for No (although slightly odd)...can I get more like this? #MSWL

This was such a lovely piece! @CarolineCala cupofjo.com/2019/03/strang…Who has a not-so-stranger story for me?
Thank you Tessa for sharing this very cool story. I would love a Not-So-Stranger story in my inbox #MSWL

It’s a long weekend. I’m traveling & I intend to dig into my queries & submissions. The @bookendslit agents giddy over their #pitchwars submissions are inspiring me. #mswl

I am hungry for more women’s fiction & psych suspense & all fiction featuring POC, trans, & LGBTQ characters. #ownvoices #mswl query me QueryMe.Online/Jessica_Faust
Literary Agent
A reminder if you’ve missed previous #mswl I have been looking for more adult fiction & nonfiction by trans authors. There is space for you. QueryMe.Online/Jessica_Faust
Literary Agent
I don't get enough psychological suspense from POC and stories about POC. I'd also like to see more LGBTQ psychological suspense. Honestly, this goes for all genres I rep, but right now this is what I'm hungry for #MSWL

If you have an appointment but don't feel your book is right for me don't despair. We can use the time to chat about the industry, querying, and the entire process of being published. #ampitchingI don't usually bite, I often drink too much coffee, and I promise to do my best to put you at ease. Looking forward to meeting with you & I do believe I still have open appointments! #MSWL

I'm also looking for nonfiction, but not memoirs. I prefer business, personal empowerment, and self-help books #MSWL
