Besides manuscripts, my #FridayReads is Katie Bernet's BETH IS DEAD, a contemporary reimagining of LITTLE WOMEN as a murder mystery. I think retellings are making a comeback, but only if they do more inventive things with the source material, like this one. #mswl

"Send me graphic novels or graphic nonfiction with a distinctive illustration style that makes use of the visual format for middle grade, young adult, or adult readers."

Some very specific wants: paranormal rom coms (ADULT OR YA), rom com & non rom com thrillers or slashers in YA (think: SCREAM, QUEEN! or TYLOR WHITLOCK JUST WON'T DIE). #mswl

Something I have been really into lately is Women in business… Like a woman building a construction company or working Solar Energy… I would love a project focused on her building from the ground up… Contemporary Fiction #MSWL

"Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don't read a lot of historical fiction older than that (like FOUR WINDS, OUR WOMAN IN MOSCOW, and Beatriz Williams in general)."
