I’m late to #MSWL day but: still desperately seeking a rom-com to sweep me off my feet (& onto a cushioned window seat, where I will read all day!). If your take on the genre is fresh & funny & swoony enough to make me forget everything on my calendar, then please submit to me!

More #MSWL: A rich, commercial summer story set in a traditionally Black beach community like Highland Beach, Maryland, Idlewild, Michigan, or Oak Bluffs, Mass

Literary Agent
More #MSWL: a novel like COUNTERFEIT -- entertaining, glittery, and satisfying on the level of plot-heavy, page-turning caper or romp, but also delivering on serious themes, exploring questions of race, identity, and consumerism

Literary Agent
Still more #MSWL: a modern take on BBC classic Upstairs, Downstairs -- featuring relationships and tension between door staff of an urban apartment building and tenants, exploring class, race, and wealth disparity

Literary Agent
More #MSWL: High-concept stories about being caught between two cultures (think Jhumpa Lahiri but more commercial)

Literary Agent
More #MSWL: Historical fiction centered on witches (and/or including magical elements), featuring well-researched, authentic period detail. I'd love a story in this space that borrows from actual events and re-imagines them in an original way

Literary Agent
New #MSWL: Historical fiction like POSSESSION -- with nerdy academics and "original" source research at the core, but also, sexy, exciting, and tension-filled. Always a fan of hist. fic. that has a race-against-time element.

I am esp eager to read #ownvoices stories or underrepresented narratives in this space.I’m bumping this #MSWL ask up, too. Send me a temporary escape, please! One that makes forget how weird it is that my last load of laundry consisted, largely, of face masks in various sizes...
