Michelle Brower’s 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 

  • Romance/rom-coms
