Carly Watters

#mswl generational stories of parenthood and family with non-binary and/or trans characters in the commercial or historical adult fiction genre (ie. heavy with plot!)

When our @PSLiterary query inbox opens again for the New Year please send me adult commercial/upmarket novels that are 70-85k. I would love some short and punchy novels. I don't want to read anything over 90k right now. My attention span (& the rest of the world) is SHORT. #mswl

I'm getting pitched a lot of NA & YA recently which I no longer rep. You can see my #MSWL here: ow.ly/ZZLP0. Adult Fic & NF.

No time for #pitmad today. But please query if you think we'd be a fit: carlywatters.com/wishlist/ #MSWL

I want to work on projects people want to talk about. Unique but within genre, special voice, emotional depth, talented, adult fiction #mswl

Send me great women's fiction w suspense/mystery hook or domestic thriller like The Husband's Secret, The Good Girl #MSWL #A #T #S

Smart “Book Club” book. Literary writing meets commercial storytelling = upmarket (Lori Lansens, Joyce Maynard, Meg Mitchell Moore) #MSWL #A

I’ve been looking for a historical upmarket novel about a cult or commune (like Arcadia by Lauren Groff) for awhile #MSWL #A

Dramas that are serious, but funny with a rich, lively cast of characters (This Is Where I Leave You, Seating Arrangement) #MSWL #A

I love coming-of-age stories but a plot bigger than the internal struggles (i.e. The Age of Miracles, The Secrets of Lake Road) #MSWL #A

Family secrets with deep rooted drama & single events that change the course of lives: i.e. Atonement, Labor Day #MSWL #A

The @PSLiterary slush pile opens on Monday! Get ready to share your stuff. Here's what I'm looking for: bit.ly/1wwGg9Z #mswl
