In non-fiction, Iβm looking for big ideas, smart thinking, anything which interrogates a particular subject or idea with a fresh perspective. And always on the lookout for gripping and authentic true crime #mswl
Literary Agency
Also worth mentioning that Iβm fascinated with both chess and labyrinths β anything that involves either (or both!) will definitely be of interest, whether genre or more literary #mswl
Literary Agency
Iβm fascinated with folklore, fables, fairy-tales, mythology β anything which works these elements into its narrative will definitely grab my attention, whether thatβs in the crime/thriller, historical or literary space #mswl
Literary Agency
Iβm always open to horror or stories with a darker edge. I typically enjoy horror that digs into larger ideas or concepts β something like THE BABADOOK or IT FOLLOWS films would be really exciting #mswl
Literary Agency
In historical fiction, Iβm looking for anything rich and beautifully-written which explores a particular time and place with real authority and feeling. For example, I just read Leila Slimaniβs THE COUNTRY OF OTHERS and loved it #mswl
Literary Agency
Iβm a huge fan of classic detective fiction, everything from Agatha Christie to Raymond Chandler, and really keen to find something in this area, whether more conventional or with a high-concept/speculative twist. Would love a gripping locked-room mystery #mswl
Literary Agency
Iβm not so good with cosy crime β I definitely react more strongly to crime/thrillers with a darker edge #mswl
Literary Agency
Iβm keen for all kinds of crime and thrillers, from police procedurals to psychological thrillers to anything high-concept with a big hook. I read very widely in this area so open to almost anything, whether commercial or more literary #mswl

Hi. This is Jordan, sharing my #mswl. Please do send me anything which feels like a good fit! theblairpartnership.com/literary-submiβ¦At the moment Iβm looking for crime and thrillers, book club fiction, historical fiction, literary fiction, true crime and non-fiction written by journalists or experts in their respective fields #mswl
Literary Agency
I have particular interests in books that feature stage magic, foodie themes and close female environments. #mswl
Literary Agency
In upmarket fiction I'm looking for: relationship stories, coming of age stories, mysteries. My tastes in literary fiction are still quite plot-driven. #mswl
Literary Agency
I'm still keen to see psych thriller - as long as it has a killer hook or strong contemporary issue to hang the pitch on. #mswl
Literary Agency
Specifically, I'd love some regional crime or some small-town mysteries. I'd also love to see some diversity in my detectives (and as much as I love police procedural, I'd also be keen to read some non-police detective characters!) #mswl
Literary Agency
I would really like to sign some more crime authors! If you are writing classic detective fiction, police procedurals or literary mysteries, please send it my way. #mswl
Literary Agency
I'd like to see historical mysteries/crime novels, and historical romances. I'm always keen on the gothic and the hidden corners of history. #mswl
Literary Agency
I'm very keen on modern history and would love fiction set between 1920 and 1970. I'd love to see more working class historical fiction. #mswl
Literary Agency
In historical fiction, I'm looking for unexplored or unusual settings, and characters we don't usually get to hear from. #mswl
Literary Agency
I'm always on the lookout for wide-ranging, multi-perspective family dramas (along the lines of Liane Moriarty, or even gentler) - my tastes are very character driven #mswl
Literary Agency
I'm also looking for romantic comedies, particularly with flawed protagonists (think: Fleabag, Bridget Jones). I'd also like to see RomComs in professional settings, or in unusual locations. #mswl
Literary Agency
I'm keen to see novels about millennials and gen Z characters who are sensitively and authentically drawn. #mswl
