"I'm on the lookout for Gothic horror and horror/romances that are fresh, unnerving, and get under my skin."

"For YA fantasy, I would love a propulsive retelling that is distinct and fiery with something important to say. Think FOR SHE IS WRATH by Emily Varga."
Marina Green #MSWL

"I'm drawn to mysteries of all kinds — gothic, puzzle, and cozy!"
Gemma Paynter #MSWL

"Send me immersive, atmospheric, twisty tales, especially ones with a dry or dark sense of humour."
—Gemma Paynter

“I am seeking a cozy, character-driven fantasy romance with a unique magic system.”
—Elizabeth Guthrie #MSWL

“I gravitate toward commercial genre fiction and am seeking to expand my list in that space. I’m drawn to big, messy feelings and characters screwing up over and over before succeeding.”

“I would love atmospheric and speculative mysteries and thrillers that skew psychological and cerebral with unreliable narrators. I want stories where the setting is the main character and characters have full and dynamic backstories!”
—Marina Green #MSWL

“Send me fun genre-blending books across categories: mystery/thrillers, science/fantasy, horror/romance, etc.”
—Rose Ferrao #MSWL

“I love contemporary fiction that has a speculative twist. The weirder, the better.”
—@mariavicente.com #MSWL

“Send me books that will emotionally punch me in the face. I want to feel so connected with the book’s mission and characters that I feel it internally. I want the stakes to feel so real that I can’t look away from the page like BROKEN COUNTRY.”
—Carly Watters #MSWL

“I’m looking for crime fiction like Laura Lippman, Patricia Cornwell, and Lorna Barrett.”
—Curtis Russell #MSWL

"Nonfiction I loved (from the past year or two): VULTURE CAPITALISM, STOLEN FOCUS, WINTERING, PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY, HOW TO RAISE A FEMINIST SON, POVERTY BY AMERICA, FOUR THOUSAND WEEKS, HOW TO DO NOTHING."

"Deep dives into specific events and people fascinate me, such as THE RADIUM GIRLS and THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS."

Not the first to say it and certainly won't be the last, but if your book has those Widow's Bay vibes, I definitely want to see it. #mswl

"Send me historical fiction or nonfiction from underrepresented voices."
Elizabeth Guthrie #MSWL

"Romance novels like HOW TO END A LOVE STORY, LEFT OF FOREVER, ALIVE AND WELLS, NORA GOES OFF SCRIPT."
Carly Watters #MSWL

"I love stories that explore complex interpersonal relationships, like THE RACHEL INCIDENT, DAISY JONES AND THE SIX, and SHARK HEART."
