"I'm interested in upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues – THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING are two of my all-time favorites."

Cozy fantasy in MG #MSWL

You know what? I'm tweaking my #MSWL . You can send me fiction or nonfiction about cops if and only if they're depicted realistically, in all their lack of glory. Anti-copaganda, if you will.

Maybe because these times are so horrifying but for YA, I’m really craving an atmospheric, layered horror mystery with the beautiful and lush but creepy vibes of Midsommar or The Honeys, even better if it’s romantic & queer #mswl

My brain is desperately in need of something a little lighter at the moment. #MSWL #amquerying

"Send me romantasy with strong fantasy and romance elements – it needs to have solid worldbuilding and plot as well as off-the-charts chemistry."

Give me The Pitt but make it a thriller/mystery/crime novel! Not so into the medical, but really into the quick, but deep character development! I'm still thinking about these characters!

Again i post #MSWL for a poison garden book of some kind.

"High-concept thrillers and psychological dramas that delve deep into the human psyche and keep me guessing are high on my wish-list."

An Earth Day inspired #MSWL : I would LOVE a book with a beekeeper main character and/or a book about bees 🐝

Fun fact I have a certification in beekeeping and intend to keep bees at some point...!

Some #MSWL clarification: my QueryManager page is set up to accept queries categorized as "Fantasy: Magical Realism," but none labeled "Fantasy" in the more general sense, and that's intentional. If your book is more Tolkien than Ishiguro, more Frank Herbert than Erin Morgenstern, it's not for me.

"My absolute favorites: dysfunctional family stories; novels centered on relationships brimming with tricky class dynamics; and all things female rage."

Really been craving more nature-centric stories with blends of cozy magic, botany/alchemy, horror, fantasy, & speculative. #MSWL

"Seeking paradigm-shifting nonfiction on psychology, history, current affairs, science, politics, narrative journalism, nature and the environment, wellness, spirituality, economics, mathematics, parenting, lifestyle, and pop culture."

"Memoirs focused on dysfunctional family dynamics that read like propulsive novels, such as EDUCATED, AFTERSHOCKS, and WILD GAME."

At the end of the day, I'm looking for stories with depth, heart, characters I can root for, & worlds I can get lost in.

If you're querying with any of the above, or something not mentioned but still on my MSWL, be sure to query me when I reopen!

🕯️ Horror (that lingers): If it's atmospheric, unsettling, or emotionally resonant, I'm in! I'm drawn to nuanced stories where the "monster" says something about us.

Also always open to genre-blends!

⚔️ Fantasy (with teeth): Layered and dynamic characters and world-building. I'm a sucker for non-western mythology and themes of rebellion, autonomy, feminism, and gray morality. I'm also dying for my perfect werewolf book (🐺!)

I'm officially open to queries again!

In Adult & YA, I'm especially hungry for... ⬇️

❤️‍🔥 (Swoony) Romantasy: Give me sweeping worlds + all-consuming romances with characters I'd fight for (or with). +1 for inventive magic systems, unique premises, and marginalized POVs.
