I just found out I have a great uncle who was a priest with a secret family (!) that no one knew about until after he died (!!), and now all I want to read is a family saga about the fallout from that whole *waves hands* situation #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❤️the structure of @withloveonprime, which tracks a family for a year on the holidays. There's scope not only for max drama-on NYE/Valentine's-but it's also an interesting way to progress time & story arcs. I'd love to see more subs w/ unusual structures #MSWL #WritingCommunity

To start, at the moment I am only looking for MG, YA, and adult commercial and upmarket fiction. I’ll list the genres for each in the thread below. Unfortunately, I’m not the right person for adult literary fiction or nonfic, and (for now) I’m not actively looking for PBs.

Across the board (MG, YA, and adult), I’m drawn to:
-stories with a strong family element, whether that’s biological or found family
-protagonists who aren’t the best at whatever they do or The Chosen One, but who try really *really* hard, even when they screw up

Just read an article in the NYT about humor and Judaism and it made me think about how badly I'd like to see a Jewish Rom Com in the vein of My Big Fat Greek Wedding with a big Jewish family, lots of humor, and the concept of welcoming an outsider into a new culture. #MSWL
