I would also take a gothic horror like this #MSWL

…#mswl

I feel like I'm just going to constantly retweet this until I find what I'm looking for in historical fiction. Even open to a gothic horror novel with BIPOC set in the 18th and 19th centuries. #MSWL

Agents, some stories I loved that if you have diverse authors writing in a similar vein I would definitely like to see. #mswl

1. The Morganville Vampire series, Rachel Caine
2. Maids of Honor series, Jennifer McGowan
3. The Wicked + The Divine series
4. The Diviners, Libba Bray

Seconded #MSWL

I am also looking for unforgettable characters in messy plots. In the last year I loved: Such a Fun Age, 1414°, The Lightness, Sharks in the Time of Saviors, Tampa, Parakeet, Nightfilm, Luster, Creatures, Trust Exercise, and Costalegre. #MSWL

NONFICTION: I am interested in SO MANY THINGS and I am begging, BEGGING, for the next Mary Roach to enter my inbox. Story-fying the truth or the weird is most important to me. Nonfiction needs voice as much as any novel. #MSWL

I am interested in books (both fiction and nonfiction) about rural places, small towns, insular communities, imagined or reshaped versions of these as well. My client, @swbrooman has a story collection, THE PUMP, that encapsulates what I would love to see. #MSWL

I am ALWAYS (read: ALWAYS) looking for novels that feel like a fever dream. Samantha Schweblin does this incredibly well. Daisy Johnson also. Books that sort of remove plot as a device and interrupt themselves with voice. #MSWL

As far as nonfiction, I am looking for narrative nonfiction, science, and pop culture books. I am not looking for straight personal memoir, only memoirs that really explode with research, second and third angles, or tell a story beyond the self. #MSWL

Books that upset Western "ideals" of literature. I would like to be pushed out of my reading comfort zone. Anything related to the eeriness and hunger, including the very visceral sense of bodies and place that Han Kang creates in her books is of interest to me. #MSWL

Hmmmm #mswl

"Thriller (legal, medical, political, etc.), Mystery (cozy, private eye, police procedural, etc.)" @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Going through my inbox I thought I should drop this reminder from my #MSWL of what I DON'T want:
Books set in the 80s-90s -Unless there's a darn good reason, meaning some kind of event has to anchor it there. If you can pick up the plot & move it present day, you probably should

Ok, "spook & hygge" is like my entire fall vibe. #MSWL

Would love a YA book with a little malicious compliance 😈 #MSWL

I am super interested and passionate about #scicomm and would love to find more experts interested in writing on their fields — for adults and children! #nonfiction #MSWL

And women's fiction/romance with magical realism or a speculative twist, like You Were There Too and In Five Years.

More gothic suspense please! I loved The Au Pair and The Wife Upstairs. #mswl
