"Upmarket fiction I loved (from the past year or two): LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU, NOTES ON AN EXECUTION, THE GLASS HOTEL, and MARRYING THE KETCHUPS.”

As a note for those #amquerying and reading my #mswl, I am not the right match for:
-romantic suspense
-climate/eco thrillers
-books dealing with covid
-terrorism plots
-court room dramas

MIDDLE GRADE—I’d love to find more middle grade. I love mysteries, historical, magic-tinged, verse novels. Some of my favorites: NO ORDINARY THING, THE ELEPHANT’S GIRL, BROWN GIRL DREAMING, and THE DOLLHOUSE MURDERS. #MSWL

PICTURE BOOKS—I am specifically looking for author-illustrators in this space. Send me anything that is humor-driven, brimming with heart, and/or has a touch of magic. Some of my favorites: THE NIGHT GARDENER, WE DON’T EAT OUR CLASSMATES, ALMA, THE BEAR AND THE PIANO. #MSWL

GRAPHIC NOVELS—I’d love to work on more graphic novels, from MG to YA to Adult. I’m open to taking a look at anything here. Try me! Some of my favorite GNs: PUMPKINHEADS, BATTER ROYALE, THE PRINCESS AND THE DRESSMAKER, PASHMINA, MEASURING UP, ISLA TO ISLAND. #MSWL

THRILLERS—gosh I love thrillers. Give me all the twists and turns! I’m looking for something that really grips the reader. Some favorites: LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE, THEN SHE WAS GONE, THE WOMAN IN CABIN 10, VERITY, and FINAL GIRLS. I’d also love a cheeky mystery like THE MAID. #MSWL

SPECULATIVE—I’d love to find adult fiction with light touches of magic such as magical realism, cozy fantasy, or magic-tinged rom coms. THE INHERITANCE OF ORQUÍDEA DIVINA, THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR WITCHES, THE EX HEX, and EMILY WILDE’S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAERIES. #MSWL

ROM COMS—I love rom coms, especially when there is a high concept commercial hook. My favorite tropes are grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, fish out of water, forced proximity. Some of my all-time favorites are: BEACH READ (elite), THE UNHONEYMOONERS, and REAL MEN KNIT. #MSWL

BOOK CLUB FICTION—I love books that are engaging, accessible reads but still have some layers to them. Some examples of this are LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, VIOLETA, WHERE’D YOU GO BERNADETTE, THE DOLLHOUSE, THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO, ROOM, ACTS OF VIOLET. #MSWL

Hey! Here is a more detailed look at my current #MSWL. I’m specifically looking to expand the adult fiction portion of my client list this year so that’s what I’m going to be highlighting here—

I would LOVE to see chronic illness rep in any genre or age group and especially if it’s an autoimmune disease or gastrointestinal but I’m biased I guess #MSWL

Why is my #mswl your #mswl You've just mentioned two of my favourite books.

Two types of horror that I'm especially keen to see in my submissions inbox: nautical and deep sea in the vein of INTO THE DROWNING DEEP and academic horror that reminds me of THE HISTORIAN. #MSWL

Well, now I hav to add this to my #MSWL, I love Chefreactions and this is brilliant Mallory. ❤️ 👨‍🍳
• rom com inspired by the grumpy TikTok chef who critiques peoples weird recipes and a girl who goes viral for deliberately awful recipes.

Finally got around to watching Poker Face (ep1) with @BrendonAlekseii and all it's done is emphasize how much I would love some SFF that feels like this, or a Knives Out movie.
