I don't yet know when I'll be able to reopen, but I am very much hoping it will be soon!

I'm NOT interested in didactic, lesson-forward books. I love a meaty takeaway, but I'm not interested in that being The Point™️

All the cozy fantasy. Grounded speculative as well.

Something that keeps rattling around the back of my brain for picture books is the idea that there are consequences for our actions (good and bad). Apparently a lot of people missed this memo, but I think it's one worth hammering home 🙃

Joy! Coziness! Adventure! Fun!

Some of the best books I've read recently have involved a cozy setting and high-stakes interpersonal conflict.

I'm still sick with the flu (also currently closed to queries) but I can't miss #MSWL Day !

I represent picture book (illustrator and author-illustrator only), middle grade, young adult, and adult creators.

A jumbled #MSWL for when I open back up to queries:

Speculative twists on our reality are always always always welcome!!! #mswl

Also #amquerying really looking for *grounded* SF&F right now—MG, YA, A.
✨Usually not the right match for high fantasy.
✨Love to be based in myth/folklore/etc.
✨Love to be grounded with a clear emotional arc.
✨My tastes tend quite literary for Adult.

I am still getting a large number of books that revolve around murder. My first reaction was frustration, but honestly, after giving it some consideration I think this could be a communication failure on my part. I'm going to be even more explicit with my guidelines. (1/5) #MSWL

A reminder: if your action plot revolves around solving a murder, please don't send it to me. Please.

Always a #MSWL for me

Same goes for coding fat characters as evil. Absolute no go for me.

TW: weight / weight loss

Just a note that I’m not the agent for ‘weight loss makes the character prettier/more desirable’

#MSWL

For so many other people this kind of story is a fun, fictional escape, but for me it’s the worst thing that has ever happened in my real life.

I’m not the agent for these kinds of stories; please don’t send them my way. #MSWL (2/2)
