Bear with me as I get more eloquent at sharing exactly what I’m looking for, but mostly you should know that I am looking to feel. Make me laugh, cry, tense up, teach me something about myself or the world — shock me! — and you’ll have me hooked.
I’m looking for writers from any and all backgrounds delivering:-
- character-driven commercial and upmarket fiction that will make me cry (family drama/coming of age all accepted), laugh, think differently about a relationship dynamic, and generally has a fun bit of quirk that still has a plot and a strong voice. Don’t forget about plot. Page-turning is important, especially in a query.
-
- mystery/thriller/suspense with a last-page jawdropper, compelling characters, and urgent pacing.
-
- romance with a relatable main character and witty dialogue, definitely across subgenres. Chemistry is a must. RomComs – yes! Romantic suspense – fab! Romantasy – make it unique in some way!
-
- Novels as a whole about women’s inner lives that straddle the line between commercial and literary from a diverse range of voices and backgrounds.
