I’m looking for:
High-concept thrillers with unforgettable twists
Book club fiction with emotional depth
Smart rom-coms with sharp dialogue
Upmarket women’s fiction about reinvention & complicated love
Speculative stories grounded in strong character arcs
Fresh voices

Send me your bold ideas!

#MSWL I would love to see grounded and emotionally intelligent literary fiction (Sally Rooney-esque)! Messy relationships, deep interiority, & complicated emotions.

It’s #MSWL day!!
Send me all of your messy & slightly disturbing coming-of-age books 🫢 (No YA). Bonus points if there are obsessive female relationships—think Emma Cline’s “The Girls” and Dizz Tate’s “Brutes.” Find my submission guidelines here: www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/made...

Absolutely! Feel free to query me. Paste the synopsis and first five pages into the body of the email. query@betancourtliterary.com
