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.

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.

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

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

Hi all,Just a friendly reminder that I am NOT the right person for murder mysteries/soapy stories about murder.
Honestly, these hit differently for me after having to give statements to police in a missing person/eventual murder investigation.

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)

I love stories that are set in extraordinary places where the stakes are high but also quite mundane--something that would, anywhere else or FOR anyone else, likely not be as much of a threat. (1/2)#MSWL
Ex: I finally watched Apollo 13 last night and was very interested in the way a cold/flu (?) could have brought down the whole mission. (2/2)
