@laurenspieller What are you hoping to see in your slush inbox in the coming months, anything in particular?My #mswl is pretty extensive, but I really want more MG, adult thrillers, and crossover/adult SFF

I'm about to close to queries, but before I do, I'd really love to see some heartfelt MG in my inbox, along with twisty psychological thrillers & smart horror. #mswl

I want a book that truly messes with your perception of reality. Not just a psychological thriller, but a truly, mind-bending, House of Leaves-type book that blasts away all previous notions of what a book can be #MSWLOooo ditto #mswl

#MSWL Lightning Round:
--MG with a unique hook and a focus on friendship
--f/f YA that explores the lines between friendship and romance
--Adult psychological thriller that *isn't* about a woman who might be crazy/imagining the whole thing
--Adult SFF that makes me cry
Lauren Spieller @laurenspieller · 12 Sep 2018
