“Adult contemporary fiction set in the Midwest.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Stories about characters assuming another identity—or another’s identity.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“I read widely in YA, and enjoy just about every genre in it. I love moving contemporary reads, thrilling sci-fi, and lush fantasy.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“Psychological thrillers with elements of horror (light on the gore).” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Crime fiction like Laura Lippman, Patricia Cornwell, & Lorna Barrett." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Science-based women's health, perinatal health, maternal health, women's mental health like LIKE A MOTHER by Angela Garbes.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“The thing that makes me keep reading is VOICE. I want access to your narrator’s inner life. I should feel what they are feeling. They should feel ‘bad’ things (e.g. anger, envy, greed, etc.), too.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Compelling historical YA like The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf.” @agentvicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation
