My whole personality is books but I do like to lie & say there is more to me than that. I also love: pop culture, taylor swift, fashion & sustainability, lattes, stickers, cute stationary, going down a research rabbit hole about something random and objectively unimportant, literally anything mini.

Right now, I’m especially looking for:
📚Smart upmarket & book club fiction
📚 Women’s fic
📚 Horror
📚 Thrillers with a twist
📚 Rom-coms (any spice level)

A snapshot of some genres I don’t rep:
🚫 Kidlit
🚫 SF / F
🚫 Memoirs (but I am open to hybrid memoirs!)

I’m always down for folk religion, cults, and religious deconstruction.

And if you have a book (esp for MG) about swimming/swim team, please send it my way!

I have a lot of *hard* fantasy in YA so I'm still looking for ⤵️

Adult romantasy
Young adult horror, thriller/mystery, & paranormal (I like horror that lends to the aesthetic of horror but w/ whimsy opposed to gore (Wednesday, Beetlejuice, Haunted Mansion, R.L. Stine).

Movie Coverage @MovieCoverage_

Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano star in the official trailer for ‘NO GOOD DEED.’

Releasing December 12 on Netflix.

When I reopen to queries next year, I would love to see things like this in my inbox. Fun, a little campy, full of great characters, and of course… a murder! #mswl

I read and adored Madame Restell by Jennifer Wright. Would love an exploration of Agnodice. Or, for a witchier vibe, if there is a story featuring a healer woman on the edge of town...

An addition to my #mswl , before I fly off to bluer pastures: I'd love to see YA historical fiction telling an abortion story, or women's healthcare / women practicing medicine more broadly.
