#MSWL #query #writerscommunity Take me on a journey.

Craving some suspenseful action thrillers as well, especially after binging The Glory and Ballerina

General themes that are not for me: Fae/Witches/Demons vs Angels/Elemental Magic/Space Operas

Of course there are exceptions to all of this ^ Never know what might surprise me

Reaaally itching for a Martial Arts fantasy in the vein of Jade City x Ong Bak, but more female forward. Extra points if it blends mythology and anticolonial themes

In Gothic fantasy: Really looking for something outside of the London aesthetic. Show me a Caribbean or Latinx Gothic

Thought I'd add a few specific notes about my #mswl after going through QM. Not really big on queens, monster slayers, concubines, and assassins. Give me shady shamans, sassy cartographers, magic gravediggers, salty artisans, grumpy baristas, and celestial grocery baggers (🧵)

“I am looking for compelling novels by contemporary literary fiction writers.”

In that nebulous category of "literary/upmarket fiction," I favor character-driven narratives in which identity is the unique lens through which the character engages with society, but it's not the story in itself. Trauma, turmoil—these should be vehicles for understanding

I'm also redoubling my efforts to scout out sharp, voice-y narrative nonfiction—journalism, arts & pop culture, hidden history, accessible but expertly researched social science, unconventional essays/memoir, anything with a progressive slant and a sense of humor #MSWL

Always a challenge to define what I'm looking for, but some recent fave reads:

Natural Beauty - Ling Ling Huang
Hell Bent - Leigh Bardugo
I Have Some Questions for You - Rebecca Makkai
Black Buck - Mateo Askaripour
Big Girl - Mecca Jamilah Sullivan
Yolk - Mary H.K. Choi

It pains me to do this, but I'll be closing to YA/MG queries for a while starting at the end of this month. My focus right now is on signing adult literary/upmarket fiction & nonfiction, and I want to give fair consideration to my existing backlog of kidlit queries. #MSWL

“Looking for novels that tackle mental health topics, like JULIET THE MANIAC by Juliet Escoria, A LONG WAY DOWN by Nick Hornby, and THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY by Matt Haig.”

I am closing to queries at the end of this month. I have a FULL writing plate and I also have to devote my energies to my current and hopefully 2-3 new clients!!
