“Send me books that will emotionally punch me in the face. I want to feel so connected with the book’s mission and characters that I feel it internally. I want the stakes to feel so real that I can’t look away from the page like BROKEN COUNTRY.”
—Carly Watters #MSWL

“I’m looking for crime fiction like Laura Lippman, Patricia Cornwell, and Lorna Barrett.”
—Curtis Russell #MSWL

"Nonfiction I loved (from the past year or two): VULTURE CAPITALISM, STOLEN FOCUS, WINTERING, PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY, HOW TO RAISE A FEMINIST SON, POVERTY BY AMERICA, FOUR THOUSAND WEEKS, HOW TO DO NOTHING."
Carly Watters #MSWL

"Deep dives into specific events and people fascinate me, such as THE RADIUM GIRLS and THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS."

Not the first to say it and certainly won't be the last, but if your book has those Widow's Bay vibes, I definitely want to see it. #mswl

"Send me historical fiction or nonfiction from underrepresented voices."
Elizabeth Guthrie #MSWL

"Romance novels like HOW TO END A LOVE STORY, LEFT OF FOREVER, ALIVE AND WELLS, NORA GOES OFF SCRIPT."
Carly Watters #MSWL

"I love stories that explore complex interpersonal relationships, like THE RACHEL INCIDENT, DAISY JONES AND THE SIX, and SHARK HEART."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

I’m looking for dark prestige fiction: psychologically complex, morally unsettling, and driven by characters rather than convention. I want an original premise, real narrative tension, and a story that leaves a mark. What’s out there? #MSWL

"I would love an atmospheric environmental thriller or mystery akin to WILD DARK SHORE by Charlotte McConaghy or FORCE OF NATURE by Jane Harper where the wild setting is a main character."
Marina Green #MSWL

Still actively looking to add a good Western to my list. #MSWL

"I want unique cookbook concepts by BIPOC bloggers."
Carly Watters #MSWL

Also, I'd love a World Cup romance if anyone has got that!

Kidlit authors, sorry not open yet. I've got a few kidlit authors on my list already this year, so I am looking to expand adult first.

I will be opening to queries on July 15th for 5 days.

YA, NA, Adult only right now. Check out my MSWL!
