In terms of FICTION: I am a sucker for novels about dysfunctional families. Extra bonus points if they’re wealthy (think HBO’s Succession) because, let’s face it, reading about rich people in trouble is fun. Super extra bonus points if there’s an immigrant angle in there.

My dearest #amquerying writers: I have new submission guidelines up on the @TRFNews website, so I thought it would be a good time to update—and elaborate on—my #MSWL all for Adult (I don’t rep YA, MG, etc.) (A thread).

I am not feeling well and so I've decided to rewatch Succession, specifically S2E8. L to the OG = the best medicine.
Also: #mswl to Succession-like stories.

Trailer for the final season of Silicon Valley is here. It’s our biggest season yet, and the show ends in an extremely satisfying way. Watch and dare to disagree. Premieres Oct 27th. @SiliconHBO @HBO pic.twitter.com/uln2ORYBWJ#mswl : I want an #ownvoices sillicon valleyesque novel with more interesting characters, aka WOMEN. #WritingCommunity

1. I ❤️ it; and
2. I'd love to get a query for a novel on the subject of vaccines/anti-vaxxers... anyone, #WritingCommunity?

Completely obsessed with WOMEN'S WORK by @Megankstack --- well written, timely, engrossing. Hoping that an equally brilliant nonfiction proposal from this #WritingCommunity will make its way to my inbox. #MSWL #amreading
