Something I didn’t know I wanted on my #mswl
• fairy tale or classic retellings/reimaginings
• modern stories about characters from fairy tales/classics and themes from said stories

would love to read a horror submission about the ‘third man effect’ it’s wonderfully creepy and could be really heartfelt too #MSWL

"Deep dives into specific events and people fascinate me, such as THE RADIUM GIRLS: THE DARK STORY OF AMERICA'S SHINING WOMEN, THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS, and THE VINYL FRONTIER: THE STORY OF NASA'S INTERSTELLAR MIXTAPE."

And as always, I'm still looking for commercial fiction across the board but predominantly in crime/thriller, accessible book club and romance spaces. Make me laugh, cry or scared to read at night!

I'm also still looking for a body positive romcom that can be steamy or cosy, where people's weight isn't the point of the narrative. No weight loss journeys please!

I'd also still love to see more authentic diverse leads more generally across the board in my submissions inbox!

And I would also love a fictional novel (book club is probs most appropriate genre) looking at someone who cooks death row meals for inmate's final meals.

Inspired by this poem I love from Shan Koyczan genius.com/Shane-koyczan-restaurant-lyrics

& also this real life story

I also recently came across queeringthemap.com (I know, very late to this) and it made my heart full and achey. I would love a romance novel that ties this concept in... it's beautiful and full of yearning and nostalgia and drama and gossip.

Okay so I have more on my super specific wish list (beyond all the usual: really good commercial fiction that will make me want to scream about it from the rooftops)...

I've already covered a thriller (or romance) set in a Fire Lookout in the US:

Reminder that these aren't the limit of my wish list items. I'm open to fiction in a lot of genres and age groups, from MG to YA to adult. Please see the full #MSWL here:

#MSWL Also space ships, generation ships, small ships, big ships, near-future, far-future, aliens, human or not, space exploration for the joy of adventure, space exploration to save earth from disaster, aliens come to us, nice aliens, bad aliens, neutral aliens.

#MSWL I love the voices of Andy Weir & Martha Wells in science fiction. Andy is so smart but the science feels approachable. Plus his voice is real & smart, witty, real. And totally same vibes from Martha. They make science fiction approachable & easy. Give me that.

#MSWL Cool, yeah, I almost want some of those sweet romance harlequin romance writers, maybe LI and LIS authors, to try their hand at a novel for tweens with those Hallmark vibes. Think around 55K words would work great.

#MSWL Remember the movie Warm Bodies? Well I want that but with Vampires instead of Zombies. Not pining Edward and submissive Bella, give me funny, regretful but also okay with himself vamp meets kick-butt heroine who's his match because she outmatches him.

#MSWL Still looking for an MG Romance Writer exploring 1st love & crushes like Natalie Blitt Carols & Crushes for MIDDLE GRADE to YA girls, 12-15yos. Yes I want something that straddles that weird line. Want them to read like Hallmark movies for kids and could go series.

#MSWL Contemporary YA and MG fiction.

SURPRISE!
