Agent friends, For what it's worth, I'm still reviewing submissions from my couch if you're still submitting! On the lookout esp for heartwarming, literary MG novels, particularly contemporary realistic, fantasy, and magical realism. Stay safe and healthy! #mswl

Poignant, bittersweet, literary MG about family, friendship, and strong girls. STEM and WNDB always a plus! #mswl

Words that DON'T catch my eye in submissions: horror, murder, thriller, pets, popularity. Not sure what that says about me... #mswl
