-novels featuring time-travel or parallel universes (think Life After Life, This is How You Lose the Time War, Wrong Place, Wrong Time or The Summer of Impossible Things)

-crime, thrillers and suspense. Either cosy (e.g Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans or Richard Osman-esque), blackly comic (like My Sister, the Serial Killer) or intelligent and inclusive (Gillian Flynn vibes). I also love novels that feature a 'beat the system' narrative

🧵 Submission details can be found on the HS LA website, but I am especially keen to see in my #MSWL :

-book club and literary fiction, especially if featuring people going through difficult circumstances or written by Irish authors. E.g Shuggie Bain or My Name is Leon.

Folks look at this thread 🧵 for a sort of anti #MSWL . Word counts (except for me not repoing young kid lit) aren’t hard and fast rules so don’t count yourself out if your in the neighborhood.

New thought: a lot of the accessible literary books I've read and loved which feature young (straight) women have them going from man to man. While that's a completely normal experience—where are the early 20s women going ???? men??? Please bring those books to me

Taking the opportunity to add one more desire to my #MSWL I’d love to see a good contemporary romance with a hot sports guy. Steamy? Sure! If you have it, I’d love to see it. #amquerying #amediting #WriterCommunity #writers #ContemporaryRomance

I would really love a YA novel that feels like CLASS OF '07 and SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS. #MSWL

This list is very non-exhaustive!! I love finding those books that I initially think might not be my cup of tea and then I read it a fall in love. These are just a few of the genres I’m looking out for:)

Finally YA mystery or thrillers. I am a SUCKER for mystery in a small town, and kids left to their own defenses to solve it
