"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)."

Always, always in the mood for romantasy (I know, I know). Especially if it's messy and the ✨ yearning ✨ and the 🥵🥵 #mswl

"I want fiction in the motherhood space with ANOTHER big layer (i.e. capitalism, race, health, disability etc)."
Carly Watters #MSWL

I recently discovered Tears on a Withered Flower and obsessed. Please send me anything with similar vibes! #MSWL #Stalkerish #hefallsfirst #sheisolder

More nonfiction projects! Still on the lookout for narrative nonfiction, pop science, pop culture, and self-help w/ special emphasis on writers from diverse backgrounds. Examples include: FASHIONOPOLIS by Dana Thomas, STOLEN FOCUS by Johann Hari, the forthcoming WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO by Don Martin

More historical fic please! I'll take it all but would love more of the Roaring 20s, WWII, and the Swinging 60s in South/Central America & Europe settings. Open to #HR although I will warn that the genre is tough atm. But one day it could circle back so don't want to miss out on any new voices here

More book club/contemporary fiction please! I'm in a book club myself and I'd love to represent the kinds of titles that you're excited to chat about with a group. Examples include: THE LIST by Yomi Adegoke, REMARKABLE BRIGHT CREATURES by Shelly Van Pelt, YELLOWFACE by R.F. Kuang

Now that it's August 1st, friendly reminder that I will be closing to queries at the end of the month and I will remain CLOSED until next somewhere. So last call! Here's a quick #MSWL about some things I'd love to see more of this month #amquerying #amagenting

My #MSWL is updated, and my query inbox is open and hungry. Feed it your best work. #nomnom Link in bio!

#WritingCommunity #OpenToQueries #LiAgent #booksky

I’m open to queries through the 7th!

I am on the hunt for mysteries/thrillers, gothic horror, and intricate, inventive fantasy!

I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer writers.

I'm excited to announce I've found my agenting niche! Moving forward, I'll only be repping KidLit: PB, MG, YA, and some NA. I'm open for MG only starting in September. #amquerying I'll drop my #mswl in the comments!

"The human brain is an endless source of fascination. I'd welcome nonfiction titles exploring the nexus between neuroscience and other fields, e.g., neuropsychology, neurosociology, neuropharmacology, neuronutrition, etc."
CeCe Lyra #MSWL

The banter in the manuscript I just devoured 🔥🔥🔥 please send more of that my way #mswl

Lastly, I'd love to see books featuring characters with celiac disease (which I have)--especially in the rom-com space. How does one navigate kissing on a first date when your partner has had gluten? This also goes for other autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses. #MSWL

I'm always on the hunt for deeply romantic stories with a focus on a continuously building chemistry. #MSWL

Along the same lines, I'd love to see shorter SFF (under 100K words). #MSWL

I'd like to see more standalone fantasy. Not standalone with series potential. A true standalone. #MSWL

I am looking for escapist, high concept projects. It needs to have a really strong hook to differentiate itself in today's crowded market. #MSWL

Across the board, I'd like to see more funny books, but especially in picture book and middle grade. #MSWL

At the top of my wishlist is book about trans people by trans authors #MSWL
