“Novels about dysfunctional families. Extra bonus points if they’re wealthy (think HBO’s Succession) because, let’s face it, reading about rich people in trouble is fun. Super extra bonus points if there’s an immigrant angle in there.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

In non-fiction, I’m looking for big ideas, smart thinking, anything which interrogates a particular subject or idea with a fresh perspective. And always on the lookout for gripping and authentic true crime #mswl

Also worth mentioning that I’m fascinated with both chess and labyrinths – anything that involves either (or both!) will definitely be of interest, whether genre or more literary #mswl

I’m fascinated with folklore, fables, fairy-tales, mythology – anything which works these elements into its narrative will definitely grab my attention, whether that’s in the crime/thriller, historical or literary space #mswl

I’m always open to horror or stories with a darker edge. I typically enjoy horror that digs into larger ideas or concepts – something like THE BABADOOK or IT FOLLOWS films would be really exciting #mswl

In historical fiction, I’m looking for anything rich and beautifully-written which explores a particular time and place with real authority and feeling. For example, I just read Leila Slimani’s THE COUNTRY OF OTHERS and loved it #mswl

I’m a huge fan of classic detective fiction, everything from Agatha Christie to Raymond Chandler, and really keen to find something in this area, whether more conventional or with a high-concept/speculative twist. Would love a gripping locked-room mystery #mswl

I’m not so good with cosy crime – I definitely react more strongly to crime/thrillers with a darker edge #mswl

I’m keen for all kinds of crime and thrillers, from police procedurals to psychological thrillers to anything high-concept with a big hook. I read very widely in this area so open to almost anything, whether commercial or more literary #mswl

At the moment I’m looking for crime and thrillers, book club fiction, historical fiction, literary fiction, true crime and non-fiction written by journalists or experts in their respective fields #mswl
