Just sneaking on here with a #mswl My favourite books of this year have been Babel, The Atlas Six and Middlegame, so I would love to find something with a serious magical and academic vibe. So if you have something like this, please do consider sending it my way. Thank you.

This book was a favorite of mine growing up. Would love a adult version that is written by #ownvoice (as I don’t think this was). #mswl

"Would love to see more psychological horror in my query inbox—especially anything with a remote location (“abandoned” anything is a major selling point for me!), a haunted house (house as character!), and/or a final girl."

If you comp Happy Endings (if you haven’t seen the show go watch it now), please query me. #mswl

"I'm on the lookout for mystery thrillers that explore a 'true crime' in their fictional world. Who does it impact, and how? What is justice? Think A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDERING, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, and JACKAL."

I love manuscripts with MC who sing, act, OR musicals---anything like that. I love to sing. #MSWL I love the arts.

"Send me Gothic fiction with possibly a modern storyline, too (like MEXICAN GOTHIC and THE LITTLE STRANGER)."

The Sea Beast, but make it romantasy. #mswl

Humor. Humor. Humor.

- Procedurals
- Misogyny
- Anything that leans too literary
- Stories centering around police officers or military
- Gore, body horror
- Erotica
- High Fantasy
- Space operas
- Childrens fiction (MG, YA, PB)

A few things that aren't right for my current list:

Picture books. (I have too many right now.)
Illustrators. (I have too many right now.)
Novels-in-verse. (Not my editorial strength. You don't want me, I promise.)
High fantasy.

But got a great novel? please try me!

A novel grounded in our world with a dash of the speculative.

I am always hoping to find out there's magic in our world, if only we knew where to look.

8/?

A novel that makes me laugh out loud.

Or one that makes me cry.

Or better yet, both.

7/?

Contemporary #YA with a literary voice about ordinary teens dealing with life, family, relationships, friendships falling apart, sexuality, mental health, or recovery. A blend of genre and literary would be best of all.

6/?
