Very happy to share my #MSWL , working alongside @ecniumata !

Upmarket or book club fiction that blends genres, including speculative (always enjoy some spookiness!), fantasy/sci-fi, historical, mystery/thriller, etc. (1/10)

For women's driven/book club fiction, I am looking for stories of hope, inspiration, and emotion. Give me the family drama and the MCs that have allll the baggage to work through. Found family storylines are grabbing my attention lately.

For adult fiction only (since these genres don't apply to children's): 4. Bookclub/women’s fiction: Voice-driven, high-concept novels across these categories. 5. Romance: Upmarket romance with a great one-line pitch. Happy with spice.

#MSWL TL;DR:

[1/3] edgy, voice-driven book club fiction with a fresh, commercial hook; anything speculative—magical realist, horror, sci-fi, dystopian, you name it, especially with a feminist bend!

On the adult side, I'm VERY much looking for book club fiction, i.e. upmarket, which is basically a commercial plot with literary writing. If you comp to Britt Marie Was Here or Eleanor Oliphant, PLEASE HIT SEND, thank you.

For bookclub, I’m always looking for the dark side of suburbia. Think BIG LITTLE LIES or SUCH A FUN AGE.
I would also love to see books that explore generational trauma, through the eyes of an eldest daughter.
