#MSWL 2. Cookbooks! I love cookbooks that concentrate on 1 central ingredient, those that make different cuisines accessible without sacrificing authenticity, & cookbooks that tie food to different aspects of life and lived experience. And yes, I am a garlic girl 🧄

#MSWL 1. Literary Fiction—I can't get enough of it. I wanna see the weird stuff, the sad stuff, the f'd up stuff. I want to be blown away by your sentences. I want novels that are having a conversation about the (many) issues we're facing today.

I would love to work with you if you're open to collaboration, interested in a career in publishing and not just publishing one book, and if you think what I already know is worth using to your benefit. What I know is how to build brands. :)

I want to feel things; I want to care about your characters, even if they're crappy people; I want to put your book down and immediately want to call someone to discuss it.

The broad strokes: I'm looking for commercial fiction. Romance. Thriller/suspense. "Women's fiction." YA that satisfies for actual young adults and an adult reader too.

I missed participating in the @bookendslit #MSWL Day round up due to meetings, but behold my #MSWL anyway... (1/5)

James is seeking upmarket/book club fiction, mystery, suspense and thrillers. Some things he is drawn to in a novel are commercial, high-concept plots, exciting settings, fast pacing, a fresh spin on a familiar trope, grounded speculative elements, rich prose (2/5) #MSWL
