Regardless of genre, I'm seeking inclusive, intersectional voices & gorgeous line-level writing with emotionally compelling narratives. Some of my #MSWL includes:
—Horror that dismantles the gender binary & societal norms
—Occult conspiracies
—Cozy mysteries that center BIPOC/queer characters
2/6

Romance & cozy mysteries centering BIPOC &/or queer casts,
embracing queer identity late in life,
action-adventures that comp to The Lost City,
sunshine-grumpy trope (or grumpy-grumpy, anything w/ a snarky, lovably cranky protag who might be a cinnamon roll underneath it all)

5/

Thrillers with martial arts (esp women in martial arts),
forensics,
Gothic atmosphere (a la Laura Purcell),
protagonists solving mysteries in careers other than law enforcement,
narratives that explore the dark corners of the human psyche without stereotyping mental illness

3/
