Ok I lied there’s one more! #MSWL

I can’t help but love a big-hearted rom-com that takes me on a rollercoaster of emotions. Emily Henry and Talia Hibbert are all time faves.

One more #MSWL day!

I am on the hunt for fantasy! YA/NA/adult. Grounded worldbuilding, complex characters, propulsive plot. Sweep me away!

Some recent favorite reads have been:
THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH by Rachel Gillig
THE MAID AND THE CROCODILE by Jordan Ifueko
THE RAVEN SCHOLAR by Antonia Hodgson

Hello #MSWL day!

As ever, I’m on the hunt for author-illustrated picture books! Humor is ALWAYS my bag!! Big hearted characters. Big emotions!!

Please note: I only rep illustrators and author-illustrators. If you send an author-only project it will be rejected unread!

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:

Apropos of nothing, I love horror set in space! #MSWL

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
