This ole fogey grew up reading Forgotten Realms novels, okay? Evermeet was like, one of my fav books of ALL TIME (it's okay if #TeamBaby doesn't know what that is 😋)

Seriously. All-BIPOC Forgotten Realms-like work, or ALL BIPOC LOTR kinda vibes? #MSWL

Oh, BIPOC vampires, too (though I might have said that before) #MSWL

In other news though... BIPOC Elves are on my #MSWL

"I'm hungry for horror that leans on eerie, atmospheric, and unsettling. MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia will forever be a favorite in this space. I don't mind gore, but I'm typically not drawn to it."

My #MSWL for PB: true rhyme w/ perfect meter; 99% of the time prefer text-only

Tip 1: You know where you expect the beats, so have others read it out loud. Listen for where they place the emphasis.

Tip 2: Don’t force the rhyme. 🤦🏼‍♀️

This fall I really really really want some cozy stories in my inbox. I never get enough!! Recently I discovered @naokosstoop 's beautiful work and those are the vibes I'm looking for 🍃pleeease send me cozy things, witches, breezes, leaves and hot drinks ☕️ #MSWL

#MSWL

Please note that I am not the right person to represent works of non-fiction, literary fiction, short stories, erotica, screenplays, poetry, hard SFF (speculative is fine though) or anything younger than middle grade children’s fiction.

#MSWL

I particularly welcome submissions from writers from communities that have been underrepresented in mainstream publishing.

#MSWL

📚 Bookclub Fiction ☕️

Stories with talking points, that make me think or force my friends into reading too so I can talk about it with them! My all-time faves are Khaled Hosseini, Matt Haig and Mark Haddon.

#MSWL

💕 Romance 🏳️‍🌈

Including LGBTQ+ romance, YA romance and romantic comedy. I would love an adult Heartstopper or Love Frankie, as well as rom com that is laugh-out-loud funny.

#MSWL

🩸 Crime 🚓

Likewise, crime with a standout quality is always welcome, whether police procedural, historical crime, detective, psychological crime or crime thriller. Nothing overly gratuitous please!

#MSWL

🥶 Thriller 🚪

I’m always looking for anything hooky within thriller for both adults and young adults. Locked room thrillers, like The Sanatorium and The Guest List, are especially welcome.

#MSWL

🤔 Psychological Thriller 🧠

I’m looking for psychological thriller and domestic suspense which is twisty and has a unique hook. I love an unreliable narrator and the feeling of not knowing who to trust. Shock, surprise and confuse me in the best ways!

#MSWL

🏰 Historical Fiction/Saga 🛡

I prefer HF that is character-driven rather than action or ‘battlefield’ heavy and I have a particular penchant for WW2 historical fiction (think Markus Zusak and Heather Morris).

Morally grey, complex and flawed characters are a plus!

#MSWL

🦊 Cosy Crime 🕵️

I’d absolutely love cosy crime from *any* period, whether contemporary like Janice Hallett and Richard Osman, traditional Golden Age murder mystery, or historical crime. The more suspects and red herrings, the better!

#MSWL
