#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…
Editor
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
Editor
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/…

I know MI-5 has an age limit but I honestly think the invisibility of women as they age would be perfect for assassination work#MSWL, especially if it was literary and wry and examined myths about women aging.

I'm just going to own it and say: I would read the hell out of a women's fiction novel based on Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir. #MSWL
Editor
Adult lit fic about complex, weighty relationships between women, both of whom are flawed, neither one of whom is "good" or "bad". #MSWL
