#MSWL: right about now we all need to get lost in a story that's positive, escapist, and fun. Ideally with strong women at its center. Be it a romp, a romance, a literary thriller -- send books that will carry us away. Submission guidelines here: pw.org/literary_agent…

Women who aren't what you expect, who have strong or indelible (not necessarily likable) voices. Again, in lit fic or commercial women's fiction; also YA and MG. #MSWL

A literary novel about any of these women; their relationships; the 1950s New York art scene in general ... GIVE IT TO ME #mswl newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…

#MSWL, especially if it was literary and wry and examined myths about women aging.

A more abstract #MSWL, but I loved this story about the last Blockbusters of Alaska and the role they played in their communities. I'd love to see a literary novel, YA or adult, that focuses on these social shifts due to technology.

Inspired by the last DaVinci going up for auction, literary fiction about art theft or lost paintings #MSWL

Literary-historical fiction (or literary historical suspense?) about that time in 1911 when someone stole the Mona Lisa #MSWL

Literary historical or contemporary fiction about the Cuban Revolution and the Cuban-American experience. #MSWL

Adult lit fic about complex, weighty relationships between women, both of whom are flawed, neither one of whom is "good" or "bad". #MSWL
