#MSWL: Voicey characters, flawed characters, anything dealing with mental health issues, coming-of-age, epic love stories, psychological and domestic suspense.

I want fiction and nonfiction on hot contemporary topics. Police brutality, immigration, white supremacists/the alt-right, etc. #MSWL

Stories about generational wealth in POC families. And stories about moving into a higher socioeconomic status than the rest of ones family. #MSWL

In the vein of What Will Be Wild (Julia Fine), contemporary, maybe magical, adventure with a young woman discovering her family’s dark past in order to break free of it. #mswl

And I know there are other brilliant voices out there who can come up with an amazing unusual narrator in the vein of The One and Only Ivan #MSWL

I also want fresh prescriptive nonfiction with a strong platform in business, self-help, relationships, parenting, etc. Maybe a guidebook in an untapped market that has a large audience. #MSWL

I'd love a world like Fullmetal Alchemist. Alchemy is a HUGE hook for me! #MSWL I also love the family aspect and struggle the characters go through. It's not all happiness but it's not straight success either. Great confusion in morals here

I'm a sucker for history narrative nonfiction that juxtaposes two people from the same time, like THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY or THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN. If your title is THE _____ AND THE _____, I will probably like it. #MSWL

I sometimes work on a lot of serious stuff, so would love to balance it with an adorable, smart meet-cute romance a la Jennifer Smith or Set it Up <3 #MSWL

#MSWL (cont) genre benders, edgy coming of age tales for the millennial audience, untold stories, projects exploring an immigrant's experience in America.... Basically any novel or memoir/NNF project that challenges and expands a limited worldview--I want to see it.

#MSWL I'm on the hunt for wildly entertaining literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, and memoir, esp from underrepresented perspectives. Dying to see non-Eurocentric HF, refreshing romcoms a la #CrazyRichAsians, propulsive toxic female friendship stories--omg the list goes on--

I'd love to get more narrative nonfiction with a strong platform. Maybe something pop science-y, psychology-y, true crime, flashy history, memoir. #MSWL

I'd also love to see a MG or YA that makes science and math feel as super cool as it does in The Martian and Lab Girl #MSWL

I love both magical realism that's grounded in a contemporary world and immersive magical realism that creates its own world. #MSWL

#MSWL An immigration story that will make me cry and also shout with joy. Take me on your journey. Bonus points if it can be comped in loss, family, and/or romance to the movie Brooklyn.

And please someone write a YA about characters who grapple with an impossible and murky moral decision like the movie "Passengers" #MSWL
