#MSWL Book club fiction aka women's fiction aka upmarket fiction Nahs: mother-daughter stories, unhappy marriages, white person travels for personal growth, discovered letters/journals. Historical is usually not my thing (especially WWII).

#MSWL: SUPER thirsty for juicy, smart, book club fiction like ASK AGAIN YES, THE VANISHING HALF, SUCH A FUN AGE

YES elements: multi-generation, sibling stories, career-oriented women, sense of humor, reinterpreting classic or myth through an unsung character’s POV

Particularly on the hunt for gripping psychological fiction that will leave me thinking about the characters long after I turn the final page. Am also on the hunt for some book club reads and suspenseful women's fiction. #MSWL

#amquerying writers: I'm really in the mood for high concept (i.e. emphasis on plot) romances/women's fic with HEA, especially stories where the romantic interest is perceived to be the obstacle to the protagonist's goals and we get all that delicious tension 😍 #mswl

If I reopen to queries one day (lol 😂), I’d like romance and women’s fiction with this vibe. #mswl

It’s occurred to me that when I tweeted this, I wasn’t selling adult romance/WF. Now I am and good god, send me your joyous adult queer historical novels (and if you’ve already subbed me something like this, do feel free to bring it to my attention ☺️) #MSWL

Babbles from Scott Eagan: A Greyhaus Manuscript Wish List #MSWL scotteagan.blogspot.com/2020/08/a-grey…

#MSWL I’m most eager to find twisty, intelligent suspense, upmarket book club fiction, women’s fic that explores friendship and multi-generational ties, light magical realism, and historical fiction from a new perspective or setting. I want more diverse/underrepresented voices!

Loving the new submissions procedures at 3 Seas! Personally, I would love to see an @SHO_Homeland or @TheAmericansFX thriller hit my inbox... especially if there's a romance or a YA hook. Also, would love an American-set historical and of course, ROMANCE & WF of any kind. #MSWL

If somebody wants to send me a Women’s Fiction that hits like The Last Great American Dynasty, for which the tagline “she had a marvelous time ruining everything” would be appropriate... I’ll be here #MSWL

so-called women's fiction that passes the Bechdel test with flying colors + romance between humans who aren't cis men 👭 #MSWL

#MSWL Really looking for some great multicultural women's fiction. Not looking for stories with "baggage" but stories that immerse the reader in a culture from a women's perspective @greyhausagency

“I’m always searching for books about the American South, especially romances, women’s fiction, horror and non-fiction” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'd also love to see more upmarket fiction, women's fiction, & YA horror. I'm surprised how little of the query pie these genres take up. Please send me more of them. #MSWL
