Good examples of this are THE ONE by John Marrs and STATION ELEVEN by Emily St John Mandel.

And last on the list, we are on the hunt for some lightly speculative novels. Think BLACK MIRROR in book form – something that shows us our world, but with a twist.
Literary Agency
We’re especially interested in novels about the dark side of friendship – e.g. SOCIAL CREATURE by Tara Isabella Burton or THE SECRET HISTORY for a new generation

We love a good thriller! If you’ve got a fresh take on the genre, whether that’s a new and exciting character or a different setting, then we want to see it!
Literary Agency
From ONE DAY IN DECEMBER, to US, to UNDER THE UDALA TREES and THE NIGHTINGALE. Actually, novels about any kind of relationship, whether romantic, familial or platonic.
Literary Agency
Love stories! First loves, last loves, impossible loves, crossed paths and missed connections.
Literary Agency
We’d also love to see some dual timeline novels involving secrets and objects from the past, or gothic settings with hints of the supernatural – think MEXICAN GOTHIC and THE FAMILIARS.
Literary Agency
We’re also on the hunt for historical novels. Specifically, we’re looking for new concepts offering different perspectives and previously untold stories, preferably set in the 19th or 20th centuries.

SUCH A FUN AGE and QUEENIE are brilliant examples of this!

I had a dream that was a pretty good set up for a thriller: a person’s enemies expertly and publicly fake the person’s death. Now person has to stop enemy from meeting goal while proving they are indeed alive. #mswl

I am a voracious fantasy reader. I’m looking for BIPOC fantasies in both, YA and crossover. Give me intrigue, emotional nuance and astounding character arcs. I have always made my home in this genre. Send me some!And I’m still looking for that Latinx fantasy! #MSWL
Yes to this still. Also, give me your anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist angle in these #MSWL

I would love to get some more adult romcoms that have the high concept hooks and diversity that's been happening in YA romcoms! My adult list is still very bare and I'd love to flesh it out more with some new writers and projects. #mswlSame! #MSWL (agented only, so send to Thao first! 😉)

Been thinking over the types of stories I gravitate to, and noticing some common elements.So, I guess it’s kind of a forever #MSWL? Just a thread of things I love (and love to work on).
I’m reopening to queries soon, so retweeting this #MSWL thread of story elements I love...
My official #MSWL page is up!🎉
