I gravitate towards books and authors with a clear, definitive voice full of intensity and emotion, and showcase deep meaning and character work through commercial fiction tropes #MSWL 7/7

For all of the above:

-Diverse experiences and marginalized voices are essential.

-Books that uplift women and are intersectional are a must.

-I love both books fueled by rage, as well as books that make me believe in love and joy #MSWL 6/7

In young adult:

-Romance! Rom com all the way through "the universe must have put us together" love.

- voice-driven contemporary set against a big, pivotal point in the MC's life

-psychological horror that has something bigger to say about who we are as a society #MSWL 5/7

-locked room mysteries/thrillers with a big cast of characters

- I like historical-set fiction but only if it is a genre I love (horror, rom com, etc) set in a different time period #MSWL 4/7

-what I'm calling the "rom dram," or romantic drama, with deep emotional conflict, rather than plot-driven drama

-social thrillers and horror w. commercial pacing, but have a deeper level of weight to them about something that occupies the social consciousness today #MSWL 3/7

In Adult:

-a big, gorgeous love story that rips your heart out

-voice-driven fiction for millennials and Gen Z that encompasses the social, romantic, and professional dynamics of the generation, preferrably with a light touch or dash of humor #MSWL 2/7

but also... #mswl! give me more sea witches with dubious morals who want what they want and will do what it takes!

ISO editors are looking for young graphic novel early readers... #mswl

“Literary fiction that genre blends, commercial fiction that takes me somewhere unknown, and rom-coms that make me laugh and swoon.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Anyone have an Escape Room story?? Still dying for one (any age/genre!) #MSWL

“Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book-- you name it, I'm here for it.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Also included in this is SF with planetary hivemind organisms or ecological emergent properties. #MSWL

Rewatching She-Ra again is reminding me of how very much I love sentient planets/planetary magic, like this and what NK Jemisin does in THE STONE SKY. Give me all your conscious magic planets. #MSWL (attn @laurenbanka you should probably know this)

finding 'ohana is sO delightful, and if anyone has a middle grade exactly like it (fish out of water! treasure hunt! reconnecting to your heritage! making friends! grandparent relationships! annoying siblings stuck on an adventure!) i would love love love to see it #mswl

According to Bookscan data, manga was the #1 category for sales growth in US publishing in 2020, up 43% from 2019. This 100% tracks for me, as I've watched a TONNE of anime this year, and purchased more manga than ever. Books similar to slice of life anime are always on my #MSWL!

I am totally into @Servant on @AppleTV
which is dark & twisted & surprising & modern & deliciously gothic. Writers, I'd love to find a book project that gives me similar feels. #MSWL
