Okay let's try this again! MSWL thread take 2!

I will first talk about what I'm looking for, then what I am not including content I do not want to see and then end with how I plan to read and go through queries.

This will be a longish thread so 1/?

Oh gosh, aside from doing a search for #MSWL , I’m not sure. I’m actively searching for (preferably) a high-level gymnast or diver who is forced to give up their sport due to extenuating circumstances and how they cope. But I’d be open to other sports.

I am in the mood for a really emotional literary fiction read. #MSWL . I want a character who stays with me long after the story has ended.

A little insight into what Alice is looking for in her queries over on TikTok!

My current #MSWL . I am in particular looking for YA Thrillers, Romance, Boarding School settings, and Graphic Novels. On the Adult side, I'd love to see more Popular Science and Narrative Nonfiction, as well as Romance, and Thrillers...but there is more! 😎

Romantasy of all kinds

Fairytale retellings of all kinds

Hearing news about archeologists getting closer to finding Cleopatras tomb is making me hungry for more Egyptian based retellings or even YA adventure manuscripts. #mswl

Please tell me they got married. So cute. #mswl

please someone send me a Backrooms flavoured horror on sub, I've been desperate for something in this space for ages. Give me liminal, uncanny nostalgia horror #MSWL

Just found out my sister’s friend founded a women’s North Sea swimming club called Blue Tits.

If someone doesn’t turn that into an alternately humorous and heartbreaking novel about female friendship, I will.
