5. Horror (adult or YA)! Just getting my feet wet, but would love more feminist lens/ feminist horror a la Maeve Fly by CJ Leede or Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder. Not super into gore, more into social commentary, voice is paramount--take me on a journey through the MC's mind! #MSWL

2. Adult & YA graphic novels, fiction or non-fiction in the vein of Ducks by Kate Beaton, Advocate by Eddie Ahn, Trashed by Derk Backderf, or A Fire Story by Brian Fies. Looking for GN authors or artists (even better if you write and illustrate) w/ a unique perspective. #MSWL

#MSWL: My adult #fiction list will be smaller but think upmarket #BookClub fiction or domestic suspense--something that will keep me up at night. Really enjoyed Angie Kim's Miracle Creek. Has to feel #contemporary, braiding together issues of social import & identity.

Jennifer Chen Tran @jenchentran

For adult #NonFiction , I want narrative or memoir (must have a platform) that sheds light on an unseen corner in society or history, esp. with a social justice bent. I want the next Braiding Sweetgrass, The New Jim Crow, Five Days at Memorial.

#MSWL: Check out @stuartpalley's book Into the Inferno for a good example of what I'm looking to rep in this space. Also: medical narratives, anything shedding light on the #healthcare industry and weaving in history. Books like Heart: A History by Sandeep Jauhur, for example.
