My Manuscript Wish List

Julie Mianecki, Penguin Random House
I am looking for women’s fiction focusing on difficult relationships, both romantic and those between women: sisters, mothers and daughters, friends, frenemies, and so on. I love a sense of humor but need a lot of heart and atmosphere. Recently loved women’s fiction includes The One That Got Away by Bethany Chase, The Life Intended by Kristin Harmel, and After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I also like women’s fiction with a touch of suspense, à la Liane Moriarty.

I’m also searching for smart, fun, sexy romance (primarily contemporary) from authors with strong platforms (websites, social media, part of a writer community, etc.).

Finally, I’m currently also interested in suspense novels with a female protagonist.
