"Send me dark retellings of fairy tales and classic stories, with similar sensibilities to THE BLOODY CHAMBER by Angela Carter or WICKED by Gregory Maguire."

I'm mostly hanging out on threads these days (come follow me over there! Though, tbh, threads is mostly "moe yells about hockey" 🐧 )

Guess who has opened to queries again! Click through the posts here for my visual #MSWL . #querytrenches #queryingauthors #amagenting

"I'm seeking romance, literary, commercial, and suspense."

When it comes to the tropes I didn’t mention on this list, such as marriage of convenience or friends-to-lovers, I can be swayed either way. And I always love a good subversion of tropes!

Some of my favorite (and least favorite) #tropes as a reader and a #literaryagent ! I’m most drawn to enemies-to-lovers, he falls first and harder dynamics, and slow burns, but struggle to enjoy age gaps, surprise pregnancies, and miscommunication in romances.

Sports book (HEATED RIVARLY, ICEBREAKER) but set it in a fantasy world #MSWL

"I love witty, fast-paced dialogue in the vein of Emily Henry and Ali Hazelwood."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

"For YA fantasy, I would love a propulsive retelling that is distinct and fiery with something important to say. Think FOR SHE IS WRATH by Emily Varga."
Marina Green #MSWL

"Looking for nonfiction like Joseph McCormack's BRIEF: MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT BY SAYING LESS."

"I am seeking romantic fantasy, especially in the vein of Juliet Marillier, Prime’s MY LADY JANE, and EMPIRE OF SAND by Tasha Suri."

So many people have used Rebecca Ross's DIVINE RIVALS as a comp title that I finally picked it up, and so far, it's as good as advertised. Keep sending me books that comp to DIVINE RIVALS, please! #FridayReads #mswl

I'm still closed to queries, but I hope to reopen in a few months. When I do, I'll be especially interested in seeing sff novels about transformative friendships. (Romantic elements okay but non-critical here.) Fire up "For Good," write me something! #mswl
