Some tweet-sized updates: For book club fiction, I love voice-driven writing, a social commentary that resonates with the current culture, or a critique on the ideals of femininity.

I'm on the hunt for book-club fiction and weighty commercial up-market books with characters I can really sink my teeth into. Think TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW by Gabrielle Zevin! #MSWL

I am on the hunt for exciting new authors to represent. I would love to find lots of things, including an original thriller, a book club novel, narrative non-fiction and anything uplifting to help combat this bizarre world. You can see more here: unitedagents.co.uk/afeineruniteda… #mswl

I would also love to see more Upmarket and Commercial/Women’s fiction (think compulsive book club fiction). I know this can be a broad category, but I am particularly drawn to books that play with power structures, friendship dynamics and odd familial structures. #MSWL

My women's fiction list is a little full; I'll be focusing on suspense, thrillers, book club historical, and contemporary novels with an edge for the first half of 2023.

Upmarket fiction! Anything with a big hook and accessible writing has my name all over it. Does it feel like something your book club would love? Send it my way! Recent faves include LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, TRUE BIZ, TOMORROWx3, and CARRIE SOTO. The bigger the concept, the better!

Catch-all #mswl: Adult mystery/thrillers, book club/upmarket, women's, historical, & contemporary fiction. Make me laugh and cry, transport me to someone else's life, surprise me. Some faves are here, come join them on my shelf: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/abby…

Queries reopen 12/1!

Putting out an #MSWL call for marginalized creators and all of the beautiful intersections therein 🧡

I'd love to see more projects in book club fiction, thrillers, mysteries, suspense, romance, SFF, and horror for middle-grade, YA, & adult readers! Genre blends too!

I am very actively looking for new writers of literary, upmarket, and book club fiction to join my list at the brilliant @MMLitAgency. I'm sharing my wishlist below - I would love to see your work! 📚

Agents and writers: I'd love to see more submissions in my inbox about abortion access & experiences. Book club fiction, historical fiction, even non-fiction. All countries/cultures/time periods. #amediting #MSWL

#MSWL (agented only) - adult - big, book club fiction about complex relationship dynamics (family, friendships, romance), forever holding out for a great, big family saga (like Pachinko)

I am looking for thrillers and crime fiction of all types; book club and historical fiction that moves me and makes me think (including novels featuring fantasy/mythology). In non-fiction, books which open up the conversation and take me on a journey. #mswl

Highest on my #mswl is Romance and WF/Book Club Fiction. In Romance I like tropey, character driven books with a feminist bite and a big hook.

Upmarket fiction! If it’s something you would read in a book club, send it my way. I loooved THE GREAT CIRCLE by Maggie Shipstead, and would be over the moon to find something similar! Taylor Jenkins Reid, Kate Quinn, Gail Honeyman, Kristin Hannah are other favorites.

Here are the ADULT GENRES I am seeking in 2022:
Women’s Fiction
Book Club/Commercial Fiction
Contemporary Romance/Rom-Coms
Non-Political Thrillers/Mysteries/Suspense
Horror
Historical Fiction - with a contemporary feel

#mswl I would really love to see any submissions of literary and book club fiction and beautifully written narrative non-fiction to read as the cold nights draw in and the pooch snores contentedly next to me 📚

It's Tuesday! Here's your #MSWL for today, from @BookEndsKim: "She’s eager to find big, sweeping love stories that will appeal to book club readers, and straddle the romance and women’s fiction markets."

Would love book club fiction with clever, unique narrative structure like The Final Revival of Opal & Nev, Sadie, and Daisy Jones and the Six. #mswl

I am in the ultimate cozy reading mood with this beautiful 65 degree morning. #amquerying authors, please send me all the adult rom-coms, upmarket/book club, women's fiction! #mswl

ADULT FICTION
I’m looking for pageturning thrillers, book club fiction that is engaging and accessible, but still layered and thought-provoking. (You *might* call that “the intersection of commercial and literary.”) Think Taylor Jenkins Reid. I’d also LOVE hooky rom coms. #MSWL
