Half & Half single-handedly satisfied all my serotonin needs for a month. Two funny, Black mother-daughter stories in one plus a reluctant sister storyline 😭 I'll always be a sucker for intergenerational stories about loving the women in our lives we don't always like. #mswl

“Gothic fiction with possibly a modern storyline, too (like THE LITTLE STRANGER by Sarah Waters).” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I’m not closing to queries, but I am more behind than I’d like. Come January I’ll post my #MSWL mostly in mystery, suspense, upmarket, women’s & literary fiction. I also want select nonfiction.

TV SHOWS are also a great way to find the perfect comp for your WIP. Some of my faves are SUCCESSION, VIDA, INDUSTRY, THE MORNING SHOW, RUN, and THE GOOD FIGHT. If your work is similar to these, please query me!

THIN GIRLS by Diana Clarke was engrossing and disturbing in the best way. The isolated setting really hooked me, and I loved how for the supporting characters had rich arcs, too.

There was so much to love about WHITE IVY by @susieyyang, but the best part was Ivy: a liar and a thief. Oh, how she fooled (almost) everyone in her life! Protagonists don’t have to be likeable. They have to be vulnerable. If your protagonist is like Ivy, please query me.

IF I HAD YOUR FACE by @Frances_H_Cha and THE MARGOT AFFAIR by @SanaeLemoine both haunted me in the best way. The storytelling is subtle, and the characters are messy and nuanced, not overwritten or nice (nice characters are 💤💤💤).

THE VANISHING HALF by @britrbennett is one of my all-time favorite books. The world building is masterful, and I was absorbed by how the protagonist reinvented herself. Plus, twins. Who doesn’t love a novel with twins?

DAYS OF DISTRACTON by @alexandra_chang and WRITERS & LOVERS by Lily King are both quiet novels, but I kept turning the pages because the writing is beautiful and I had to know what would happen to Alexandra and Casey, respectively.

DOMINICANA by @acruzwriter is the perfect blend of commercial and literary. Ana’s inner life blew my mind. If you’ve written a novel in the same vein, please query me! Send me your brilliant Latine fiction!
