Keep the great women's fiction coming: I love thoughtful upmarket AND fun commercial, but I'd love diversity / #ownvoices in the genre #MSWLSAME HERE!
Query us both and we'll arm-wrestle for it ;) #mswl

One more #MSWL: compulsive narrative nonfiction like BRAIN ON FIRE and FIVE DAYS AT MEMORIAL. Would love to work with journalists!

Hope it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Eager for diverse voices (authors and protags) in all the #MSWL ideas I'm mentioning!

#MSWL: Closed community tensions/bonds like boarding school, summer camp, island, cult; would love to see you do the same for homeschool!(NOTHING is as fraught w/ disorder, emotion, magical thinking as a long-running homeschool group! I can say that - was in one K-12! #MSWL)

#MSWL: FRESH suspense! Enough alcoholic embittered cops, ex-cops,lawyers or ex-lawyers. Bring me eerie normalcy, smiles pasted over poison.#MSWL friendships gone bad, twisted colleagues, dark sisters... I want unpleasantness that brings suspense as it slowly turns more sinister
