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... 👀🕵️‍♀️🔪🖋️

Adding the phrase 'women going feral' to my #mswl...!

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)

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? 🙋‍♀️I'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.

...especially because one of the biggest gaps on my list is a destination thriller. I'm manifesting this for myself in 2023! Some that I loved in 2022 include: BREATHLESS, forthcoming debut THE DIVE, DEEP WATER, THE VILLA, and SUN DAMAGE.

To that end: did you love White Lotus? I LOVED White Lotus (both seasons...) so, if your book has ANY resemblance to everyone's favorite locked room mystery - rich people behaving badly, an escapist setting, dark AF humor, I want to see it...

My women's fiction list is a little full; I'll be focusing on suspense, thrillers, book club historical, and contemporary novels with an edge for the first half of 2023.

My 1st year @PaperLiterary was more exciting/fun/successful than I could have ever imagined, and I had high hopes! But I'm keen for 2023 to be even better. And so: my latest #MSWL! Authors, if any of this resonates (or you think we'd be a fit more generally): my inbox is open!🧵

Adding 'fast car' in novel form to my #mswl for 2023

Not yet, but it is tip top of my wishlist!! Winging your way when I find it... #mswl

Help me ignore the news! #amquerying writers, I'm on the hunt for some proper page turners across genres, but particularly fresh thrillers/suspense - it is spooky season after all... #MSWL

#mswl please!!!

A big yes please #MSWL to this!! How good is that show on character...

Mountains, beaches, islands, remote continental villages, fancy hotels, adventure holidays, darkly glamorous mansions, secluded retreats, river cruises, penthouse apartments in glittering cities... take me away, but make it murder-y! #MSWL

The sun has arrived, and covid has finally come to the Deechstreet household. I'm in the mood for escapist suspense that will make me forget I'm stuck inside for the foreseeable... if you've written one, I'd love to read it! #MSWL
