Amy Bishop-Wycisk's Current Wishlist:

Literary and commercial crime and thrillers (especially authors of color writing protagonists of color); crime blended with historical or speculative elements; elegant cozy-lite crime. Historical fiction set in the 1950s–60s or in less commonly covered settings; historical with a speculative twist that stays plot-forward. Novels built around a profession; immigrant stories; stories set in the aftermath of a major event; projects that marry art and science. Upmarket and book club fiction that has something to say and/or is joyful fun; epic modern love stories; capers, romps, and family dramas. Grounded or low fantasy and sci-fi; witches and nature-based magic; horror or horror-adjacent by women of color or queer women. YA with murder or intrigue in unexpected places; immigrant and queer YA. Nonfiction when open: female-driven historical narrative; contemporary-issue narrative; biography; pop science or psychology; feminist current events and cultural criticism; nature writing blended with crime and personal narrative.
