Genres I’m open to: romance, fantasy/speculative, mystery/thrillers, horror, historical, lyrical contemporary (more so coming of age with a strong romance thread & a story that weaves in heart & humor - I’m typically not the best fit for contemporary rom-coms in general), novels in verse 2/3

“I would love atmospheric and speculative mysteries and thrillers that skew psychological and cerebral with unreliable narrators. I want stories where the setting is the main character and characters have full and dynamic backstories!”
—Marina Green #MSWL

“I love contemporary fiction that has a speculative twist. The weirder, the better.”

#MSWL I’m looking for fiction that changes how I see the world after I close the book.

Upmarket, literary-commercial, elevated suspense, speculative with emotional weight, unforgettable voice. A story that I want to keep reading.

"Send me speculative fiction in the vein of HANDMAID'S TALE or 1984, but with a modern twist."
Elizabeth Guthrie #MSWL

-ANYTHING comped to Leviticus please

I just devoured the second Meihan Booey (THE ENIGMATIC MRS INGRAM) and

1. If you like the Emily Wilde / cozy paranormal / myths minding their own business space, read these ASAP. They're delightful speculative mysteries set in Singapore, I'd read a hundred of them.
