…your project has its best shot at being my next big Nah-to-Yes surprise if it: has strong crossover appeal beyond its genre; hits that upmarket sweetspot where craft, plot, and character meet; evocative (but not purple) setting-as-character; has a grabby pitchable hook #MSWL

#MSWL suspense: I'm extra good at this and have a list full of rockstars, so you really gotta knock it out of the park. Upmarket: big on voice/setting, starting a conversation about issues of justice, equality, class, etc., character-driven storytelling, a truly FRESH twist

#MSWL Book club fiction aka women's fiction aka upmarket fiction Nahs: mother-daughter stories, unhappy marriages, white person travels for personal growth, discovered letters/journals. Historical is usually not my thing (especially WWII).

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

Eager for suspense fiction of all kinds, especially upmarket thrillers and procedurals with an unexpected angle on the tropes we love #mswl
