Michelle Brower’s Submission Wish List
I’m looking for…
Book club fiction, i.e. a commercial idea with a literary execution; think Celeste Ng, Kirstin Chen, Angie Kim
Literary fiction, particularly family sagas, tight contemporary stories, story collections. Anything not too formally experimental.
High concept novels with elements of genre, such as THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY, THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY, PORTRAIT OF A THIEF
Elevated suspense, like Tana French, Gillian Flynn
Literary narrative non-fiction, particularly books that take a very personal story and look at a wider topic/culture/theme
Very select, literary YA or coming of age
I am not considering the following at this time:
Prescriptive non-fiction
High fantasy/hard sci-fi
Children’s books/YA/new adult
