As usual this list isn't exhaustive, and I never know what I might fall in love with. Submission guidelines are here blakefriedmann.co.uk/submissions

But I'm also keen to expand into science writing this year, particularly in areas of health and technology - if you have an idea, speak up!

In non-fiction, as always I'm looking for groundbreaking new ideas in personal growth and self-help, and beautiful voices.

In commercial women's fiction, I'm really looking for books for the 20-30 age bracket at the moment.

I see a lot of YA but I'm really keen for something that's beautifully-written, emotional and set in contemporary UK (please no fantasy!)

Book club novels with a secret to figure out at their centre - that partial reveal style that keeps you guessing, and turning the page.

I love upmarket women's fiction novels with sprawling casts of characters, like THE SECRET INTENSITY OF EVERY DAY LIFE.

Huge fan of domestic noir that gets under the skin - I've seen bad mothers by the bucketload but what about fathers and daughters?

I'd love a well-written procedural detective series (think Jackson Brodie or Dublin Murder Squad) with a well-thought out mystery!

My heart always leaps at novels set in my old stomping ground - Sheffield, Leeds, Barnsley, Wakefield and the Peak District.

I'm really looking to build #MG, for 9+. Humour, brilliant world-building a la Eoin Colfer, exciting adventure - send it my way!

First of all, as always, is love stories! Not enough love stories on my list. I like love stories that are clever, contemporary and fresh.

OK guys, I'm back. And I've been thinking about what I'd most like to read this summer! #mswl

Super fun: I've read most of this list. I'm a sucker for plot twists. Send me yours! #MSWL bookriot.com/2017/04/11/100…

An mg horror novel about this would be epic. #MSWL (Preferably #ownvoices)

Using sea turtles as your messengers would be awesome. Maybe even cooler than owls. #HPHeresy #MSWL

#MSWL #amquerying some frequent problems I see with queries: assuming your novel will be published in 2017 & using hypertimely news 2 entice

If your book could have a cover like THE BELLES, #MSWL right here.
