Fun might mean: turning tropes on their heads (COUNTERFEIT), acute social commentary (WHITE IVY and SUN DAMAGE), sending us to mind-boggling locations (MIDNIGHT and THE DIVE), or a steady drip of dark humor (HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY). Hit me with whatever you've got in this space

In terms of crime and thriller, perhaps ironically, I want books in this space that feel fun! I'm slightly fatigued by the gloomier end of the spectrum within this genre...

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.

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.

...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.

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.

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

Hi, #amquerying authors! If you're writing suspense/a thriller with a really evocative setting - whether a gloomy manor, a remote edge of the earth, an island paradise, a luxe hotel, a city's underbelly - PLEASE send it my way! I'm desperate for an escapist page turner... #MSWL
