(Memoir continued) I love books with humor and interesting perspectives, and enjoy a big personality or narration to go with the contents of the memoir. I do not want conservative or conservative leaning memoirs. #mswl

(Romance continued) Sweep me off my feet please! I’ve been reading romance novels since I was a teenager, so make sure to respect that rules of HEA and give me some good tropey filled romance. #mswl

(Romance continued) I can’t bare to read dated ideals of partnership, relationships, femininity, and masculinity. I DO NOT want books where the characters participate in sexual acts without consent and/or while heavily intoxicated. Consent is key and a requirement.... #mswl

For Queer Adult Romance novels, I want books with queer protagonists that have distinct personalities and a fast pace. I love nearly any genre, but require that the story is queer, feminist, and body positive... #mswl

(YA/MG genre continued) Like with contemporary, I am especially interested in queer, disabled, and BIPOC protagonists, especially when the books are not issue driven. But above all give me a good, page turning adventure. #mswl

For illustrator portfolios, I like to see a decent sampling of your work, including anything from character design, to fan art, to sequentials. Please let me know whether you are exclusively an illustrator or author/illustrator. #mswl

I prefer books with a fast pace, high stakes, and strong emotional development for the main character(s). I do not want to see books from authors writing identity based books not of their own identity. #mswl
Literary Agent
For all the books I work with, I prefer to work with queer creators and BIPOC creators, and strongly encourage those creators to send me their work. Regardless of genre, age, subject, I like lighthearted, emotional, hopeful, adventurous reads. #mswl
