Select Adult upmarket/literary work that is super high concept and feels fresh and hyper relevant (especially work that explores or intersects family/culture/history à la THE JOY LUCK CLUB).

•Epistolary fiction like Several People Are Typing by Calvin Kasulke

•Lyrical, literary, lush contemporary (or contemporary-ish) YA—again, Jandy Nelson comes to mind

In two days, on Friday July 5th, I will be open for queries. ONLY adult, upmarket/literary/commercial fiction, can be dark and psychological with speculative elements. High stakes, complicated characters, propulsive story lines. Open soon for other genres. #MSWL
