Wow!! A reader wrote a whole academic paper analysing my novel!!😮 As an author in a competitive industry, sometimes you question the impact of your work. So knowing that what you created is worthy of this level of analysis is very special🥹 #TheMoonRepresentsMyHeart @lizadeblock

Lastly, I’d love some thriller with horror elements, think Tender Is the Flesh. I loved Ask for Andrea and The Compound. These books also bleed over into high-concept and books with great hooks. Some other titles I’ve loved recently are The Names and The Book of Guilt.

Sci-fi: I’m shouting out in the galaxy for someone to write Battlestar Galactica in the vein of SJM.

Horror: One thing I really want to see is Tradwife horror. Think along the lines of Sex Lives of Mormon Wives infused with body or psychological horror. Along those lines, give me something with a creepy priestess or dark clergy element. I love a good cult, religious or otherwise

Lastly, I loved The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova and A Discovery of Witches. Give me smart, educated women with a fantastical creature and an historical mystery to unravel and I will love you forever.

High-fantasy, give me a good quest! Let’s go on an ADVENTURE. This can have a romantic thread involved, but I want court intrigue, epic power struggles, a great magical system - and an ELF. A real, LOTR elf with powers. Give me the sexual tension between Galadriel and Sauron.

Fantasy: Urban, grounded fantasy with sassy characters, a quick plot, and a slow burn romantic thread filled with yearning. I love Cassandra Clare, and Melissa Marr. I’d really love a Succession but with vampires - toxic family relationships over the centuries yes please.

For non-fiction, I am looking for experts in their fields, or creator’s with exciting content to share. I love food writing and cookbooks. I'd also love books about women’s health, particularly around maternal, sports, or mental health.

I also enjoy romcoms with smart writing, lots of steam, and am a sucker for enemies-to-lovers and slow-burn tropes. When it comes to fantasy, send me something with a unique magic system, a new world, romantic threads, unusual creatures, and anything inspired by folklore.
