I am not a fit for contemporary issue books in MG, Sci-fi, or books that deal with grief or a character coming to terms with the death of a parent or grandparent.

In YA I am not currently looking for contemporary stories, rom-coms, sci-fi, or straight dystopian.

As always, I love contained settings with lush writing and would love a book set in a competitive sub-culture.

Looking forward to reading all that comes my way!

For #YA , I'm on the hunt for an unforgettable voice. High-concept stories that can be summarized in a single sentence, grounded fantasy, historical fantasy, unique paranormal, and historical with high stakes and universal themes from an underserved viewpoint or unique time in history.

For #MG think of me for spies! heists! and high stakes adventure. I am looking for standout voice, laugh out loud moments, and irresistible characters. I'd love MG fantasy in my inbox, but it needs to feel fresh and new. And I am interested in younger MG with illustrative potential.

#amquerying #kidlit #writers ! I will be open to queries May 1-7! I am just about through February's queries, and have a several fulls on deck, so if you haven't heard from me, I am still considering. For May, I thought I would do a little #mswl . This month I am looking for #MG and #YA --

"Novels that are both dark and humorous, in the vein of MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER and THE BANDIT QUEENS."

I recently read Ashley Audrain’s THE PUSH and couldn’t put it down. The characters were vivid and the pacing was propulsive—just the sort of thing I’m looking for. -JN #reading #mswl

Creative Media Agency just played an inter-office game of #MSWL Edition "This or That?" If you're curious about the vibes I'm seeking in manuscripts right now, this is it!

to expand on this: *greenery* in my fantasy, pls! a fantasy set in a garden or a greenhouse, with carnivorous plants, with academic vibes... 🌱#mswl

Hyper specific #MSWL time 🦍 I have been heavily invested in the 100 men vs 1 gorilla discourse over the last few days and I would be HIGHLY interested in a laugh out loud battle royale style comedy horror where 100 dude bros are dropped onto an island to fight 1 gorilla but then things go hilariously wrong for this group of chads as they try scheme after scheme to kill this gorilla. If this is your book lets talk!!!

#MSWL send me all the Sinners comps. ❤️‍🔥

#MSWL - jazz trombonist Hermione lives rent-free in my head. these vibes in any age group please!! (No TERFS allowed though ty)

I'm definitely late to the game on this one, but WOW! "Olive Kitteridge" has quickly become one of my favorite books.

Recently (finally!) read "The God of the Woods" by Liz Moore. Such an incredible read! I'd love to see more character-driven and multiple-POV mysteries/thrillers in my inbox. #MSWL #currentlyreading
