@BookEndsJessica What's your current dream submission? #askagentDoes it just have to be one dream submission? I'd love a dual timeline women's fiction too, but ala Next Year in Havana featuring diverse voices. #askagent #MSWL

Books set in towns/cities down on their luck. Towns that once thrived on an industry that now isn't thriving--cotton, tobacco, auto industry, factories, mining, etc. #MSWL --suspense, mystery, women's fiction or otherReturning home to finally confront and solve an old murder--either the protagonist has returned home or someone close to the protagonist. #MSWL

Books set in New Zealand or Australia (or surrounding areas) -- women's fiction or suspense #MSWL

I also really want a women's fiction dual narrative, ideally dual timeline as well. Although one or the other works (no time travel please) #MSWL

I'm always in @PublishersLunch checking up on latest deals. Sometimes they are my best #MSWL ideas.Like this: Young Adult Fiction: Lindsey Roth Culli's SAY YES SUMMER, about a girl who decides to just say yes to everything, --- I'd LOVE to see the women's fiction version #MSWL

So as you are waiting for the likes I suggest you also send out some queries. Make use of the time you are already online and hit agents directly. #querytipFor me, I'm looking for the next NEXT YEAR IN HAVANA, more #ownvoices, a #MeToo story, stories and #WF featuring moms. I'm only looking for new clients in adult right now. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I really like books about moms and cannot believe I really don't have books about moms. Women's fiction or domestic suspense #MSWL

It seems like a good time to remind authors of my #MSWL. That way when I come back Tuesday I'll have plenty waiting for me.I would love to find a good beachy, women's fiction read. Something about friends, beaches, small towns, that sort of thing #MSWL

Women's fiction with a touch of romance. #MSWL Okay, maybe more than a "touch" of romance. It was a damn good romance (x2).

And I'd like more women's fiction or domestic suspense about mom relationships. Relationships between women and their own mothers or relationships between mothers. #MSWL

Since I'm stuck on the phone with the bank I'll check out #dvpit, but don't forget that I'm actively seeking #ownvoices in adult--thriller, women's fiction, suspense, upmarket & literary. #MSWL query me in case I miss your pitch.
