We’re especially interested in novels about the dark side of friendship – e.g. SOCIAL CREATURE by Tara Isabella Burton or THE SECRET HISTORY for a new generation

We love a good thriller! If you’ve got a fresh take on the genre, whether that’s a new and exciting character or a different setting, then we want to see it!
Literary Agency
From ONE DAY IN DECEMBER, to US, to UNDER THE UDALA TREES and THE NIGHTINGALE. Actually, novels about any kind of relationship, whether romantic, familial or platonic.
Literary Agency
Love stories! First loves, last loves, impossible loves, crossed paths and missed connections.
Literary Agency
We’d also love to see some dual timeline novels involving secrets and objects from the past, or gothic settings with hints of the supernatural – think MEXICAN GOTHIC and THE FAMILIARS.
Literary Agency
We’re also on the hunt for historical novels. Specifically, we’re looking for new concepts offering different perspectives and previously untold stories, preferably set in the 19th or 20th centuries.

I had a dream that was a pretty good set up for a thriller: a person’s enemies expertly and publicly fake the person’s death. Now person has to stop enemy from meeting goal while proving they are indeed alive. #mswl

I would really like an incredibly, joyfully queer sci fi or epic fantasy, please. Like as rainbow and full of gay glee as possible. And fun tech. But also blow stuff up. Also magic. Or aliens.

I would watch a show that was based on true stories of cops fabricating evidence and sending people to jail.This isn’t a joke tweet.
I think it would gain an enormous audience, both hating & loving it.
More importantly it would serve a public good.
