7. Funny contemporary YA—I know I tend toward dark stuff, but I also adore comedy, & I would love some super-voicy YA that makes me laugh out loud. Rom-coms included. Ditto adult for fresh & funny book club/contemporary fiction.

I am looking for thrillers and crime fiction of all types; book club fiction that moves me and makes me think; great historical fiction (including novels featuring fantasy/mythology). In non-fiction, books which work on an emotional level and let me in on the conversation. #mswl

When I reopen to queries in Jan., my wishlist is going to look different than it does now. In adult fic, I am really going to want to see upmarket fiction & book club fiction, literary fic, rom-coms, mystery, domestic & psychological thrillers, horror, & grounded speculative fic.

SUCH A FUN AGE by @kileyreid was the most entertaining novel of the year. Great premise, fast-paced, perfect dialogue, expertly fleshed-out characters. A perfect example of book club fiction.

#MSWL Book club fiction aka women's fiction aka upmarket fiction Nahs: mother-daughter stories, unhappy marriages, white person travels for personal growth, discovered letters/journals. Historical is usually not my thing (especially WWII).

And the news is out! Very excited to be joining the team at @canelo_co as a commissioning editor and can't wait to publish some stand out commercial fiction! twitter.com/thebookseller/…

Particularly on the hunt for gripping psychological fiction that will leave me thinking about the characters long after I turn the final page. Am also on the hunt for some book club reads and suspenseful women's fiction. #MSWL

#MSWL I’m most eager to find twisty, intelligent suspense, upmarket book club fiction, women’s fic that explores friendship and multi-generational ties, light magical realism, and historical fiction from a new perspective or setting. I want more diverse/underrepresented voices!

overall: I represent mostly-adult, mostly-fiction across the literary-commercial spectrum from weirdo short stories to "book club" novels to historical fiction to trade romance. I *rarely* read thrillers or hard SFF. You can query me right here: aevitascreative.com/contact/ #MSWL

2. Women’s Fiction! I’d love to find the next Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick. (This is a WISH list, remember?) I love interesting voices/POVs, dual timelines with a historical feel, rhythmic language, generational sagas. #MSWL

Hi! Since I am now open to queries, I'm going to do a #MSWL thread. I'm open to most categories and genres (see our website for details), but I'm especially eager for the following:

Adult Historical Fiction.

Think Kate Quinn or Alice Hoffman -- upmarket book club fiction that brings history to life.

Favorites: WATER FOR ELEPHANTS by Sara Gruen; THE HUNTRESS by Kate Quinn; THE DOVEKEEPERS by Alice Hoffman; I SHALL BE NEAR TO YOU by Erin Lindsay McCabe #MSWL
