"Seeking generational stories of parenthood and family with non-binary and/or trans characters in the commercial or historical adult fiction genre (ie. heavy with plot!)"

In adult fiction, I'm looking for sweeping and ambitious novels that are emotionally resonant and layered. I love seeing the effects of a singular event rippled across time and family (or any relationship) dynamics (3/4)

"I’m interested in love stories that may not fit the definition of romance, such as found family, platonic soulmates, and relationships without a happily ever after."

Book Club Fiction: I am actively looking to develop this part of my list. Family sagas, love triangles, complicated relationships, an element that keeps you guessing/turning pages, strong narrative voice, and of course, driving questions/themes you'd want to chat about in an actual book club. #MSWL

I'll be watching for stories where a group of found family bands together to take down elite oppressors. #MSWL

I'd love a family saga that has a unique entry point. Think 6ft Under or a Shitt's Creek. #MSWL

Niche #MSWL desire would be a blend of family-drama and Scooby-Doo antics/adventure with a hunt for cryptids. The search for chupacabra or moth-man while dealing with siblings relationships? Send my way!

"Memoirs focused on dysfunctional family dynamics that read like propulsive novels, such as EDUCATED, AFTERSHOCKS, and WILD GAME."

Hey #BlackWriters , this one’s all you: I’m on the hunt for a juicy family saga about a Black family in NYC, from the wild ’80s to right now. Got something epic? Hit me with your pitch—I’m all ears! #MSWL #literaryagency #literaryagency #blackvoices

"For rom coms, my taste veers towards genre-blends, i.e. a rom com that's also a family saga or a romcom com that's also a thriller. DIAL A FOR AUNTIES by Jesse Q. Sutanto is a great example and my all-time favorite rom com."

Give me all the found family! This is one of my favorite tropes.

"Book club fiction focused on family dynamics, friendship, and other communities."

Either way just to remind everyone that my #mswl (and the Labyrinth Road list overall) includes YA but really focuses on MG series that blend internal and external, epic stakes and feature Big Feelings & soapy relationships of friendships, family, and yes crushes!

"My absolute favorites: dysfunctional family stories; novels centered on relationships brimming with tricky class dynamics; and all things female rage."
