The summer slowdown may be hiding this year, but I'm still on (a very aggressive) hunt for some page-turning submissions to read in the sunshine (come back, sun)! A #mswl π§΅:

I know the latest season of YOU has been getting a lot of flack, but I'm unabashedly addicted. YOU has been a #MSWL stalwart for me, but I'm loving the Agatha Christie twist this time around... I'd love for something similar to land in my inbox... ππ΅οΈββοΈπͺποΈ

Perennial favorite themes: cons, hoaxes, fish out of water, outsiders becoming insiders, upstairs/downstairs themes, family dramas (esp those with a humorous element a la THE NEST or THE MOST FUN WE EVER HAD, though I wouldn't kick a heartbreaker like ASK AGAIN YES out of bed)

And finally: I'd love a timely upmarket thriller with a ripped from the headlines hook and killer characters. Think ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL or PEOPLE LIKE HER.

(Please note while I'd love a love story set in the past, particularly if it is of the epic, sweeping variety - I'm not the right agent for historical romance)

Literary Agent
As for historical: I'm always on the lookout for previously untold stories and unheard perspectives, particularly those of forgotten/misunderstood women a la THE PARIS WIFE, WEYWARD, THE CHRISTIE AFFAIR.

Another gap: I'm missing a thriller that is super high-concept - have you written the next WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME, END OF STORY, DO NO HARM? πββοΈI'm your girl.

I'll also never tire of literary suspense - especially that which pulls the curtain back on a new community or subculture, or, as above, has escapist elements. Last year's faves in this space: ALL THAT'S LEFT UNSAID, MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW and THE CARETAKERS.

I'm also manifesting something heist-y! Whether that's contemporary and hilarious like COUNTERFEIT or a historical masterpiece like THE HOUSEKEEPERS (coming this summer), I'm open to anything in this space.
