Submission update! My new goal is to respond in 72 hours if it is a pass. I’m currently looking for YA thrillers, high concept contemporary, gothic fiction and paranormal. #mswl

I am actively building my list right now. I’m looking for high concept contemporary romances, moving middle grade novels, and thrillers that feel teen #mswl

I love thrillers that feel very teen (like how One of Us is Lying starts with a death in detention and how A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder begins with a a school project) #mswl

I grew up reading FUN girl-driven stories. The Babysitters Club, The Clique, Gossip Girl, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Pretty Little Liars etc. I’d love to edit a series like this for a new generation #mswl

I am hungry for voice driven & high concept contemporary to round out my list (middle grade through YA!) I want to laugh, cry and feel all the feels in between #mswl

I'd really love a high-concept, aspirational romance. Think To All the Boys I've Loved Before and 13 Little Blue Envelopes #MSWL
