On the hunt for #darkacademia novels, particularly those that are a bit more upmarket and less magical - The Secret History vibes. If you have a crime novel set in a university, boarding school, library - it might be for me. #mswl

Top of my wish list is book club and upmarket women's fiction. I'm interested to see anything that could fit in this genre, but a couple of specific wishes:

I judge all my submissions on three criteria - strength of concept (is it marketable? is it individual? is it interesting?), confidence of voice (you get a sense of the fluency of a voice from one page alone) and sustained compelling storytelling (which I need a full ms to judge)Right now I'm looking for contemporary fiction (both commercial and upmarket), historical fiction and crime fiction. I'm really keen to hear from diverse voices - BIPOC writers, LGBT writers, regional writers, disabled writers, working class writers, writers without a degree.

I love upmarket women's fiction novels with sprawling casts of characters, like THE SECRET INTENSITY OF EVERY DAY LIFE.
