Historical fiction is also always a #MSWL. I'd love to see stories in some new time periods (esp 1930s, 1950s) and ones that are drawing parallels and making history relevant to our current world. Always love to see dual timelines! If Bonnie Garmus, Kristin Hannah, or Kate Morton are comps, hmu!

Book Club Fiction: I am actively looking to develop this part of my list. Family sagas, love triangles, complicated relationships, an element that keeps you guessing/turning pages, strong narrative voice, and of course, driving questions/themes you'd want to chat about in an actual book club. #MSWL
