Hi all 👋

I will be CLOSING to queries on July 16 and reopening on August 6.

I’m giving folks some lead time in case they want to query beforehand, but it’s only a few weeks so don’t stress if you need to wait!

I am absolutely begging folks to please not send me crime fiction.

It’s not helpful for you.
It’s not helpful for me.
I am not your audience.

Twilight Zone, Season 2, episode titled “8” is so my ish I can’t even begin to explain #MSWL

· 25 Jun 2020

I've noticed an uptick lately, so just a friendly reminder that I do not allow attachments in queries. Please copy and paste the work into the body of the email.

Just a reminder that in the picture book category I am only looking for author-illustrated works.
Not author only.
Not illustrator only.

I promise I’m not the right person for military thrillers or cop dramas. Really.

Slut-shamey MCs are pretty much an automatic pass from me. #MSWL

An accurate comp to Holly Black is something that will *always* turn my head. #MSWL

Oh? Sounds like it could be vaguely haunted? Yes, yes. I’m interested. #MSWL

Heartily in the mood for a project where setting/atmosphere feels like a character in and of itself.

I really hope this is the last time I have to say this.

Soapy murder books are NOT for me.

A man I knew is in jail for 23 to life for murdering my best friend. This is not entertainment to me. I am not your audience.

#MSWL

Now if you are inspecting murder and its aftermath carefully and in a nuanced manner, I am here for it. #MSWL

9: Can I sleep with you?
Me: Why?
9: Had a dream about the Lullaby Lady.
M: Who?
9: An old woman with no skin on her hands.
M: Why do you call her that?
9: Because she stands next to your bed and hums while you sleep.
M: Sure, just let Daddy put the house up for sale real quick.

.@toriedm texted me this tweet saying: feels like the kind of spook you will appreciate

75/10 absolutely correct💀. #MSWL

I’ve read 3 gooey, out of this world YA romances in the past few months, chock-full of heart, hard-learned lessons & swoons. I’m SO lucky to have this job and to count myself among their numbers. YA authors are doing the work, showing healthy examples of love and I’m HERE FOR IT.

THIS. THIS. THIS. #MSWL

Too often we see unhealthy/abusive relationship behaviors modeled in YA lit without having those behaviors inspected or questioned. This subsequently helps normalize those behaviors IRL. #noexcuseforabuse

If you start out with some variation of “so there’s this weird/creepy town” I’m probably already interested. #MSWL

Hey friends👋
A reminder that murder mystery is *NOT* for me! #amquerying #MSWL

I feel really strongly about repping books that deal with teen grief.

I was a teenager when my best friend was murdered. After that happened, it felt like no one knew how to talk to me, or maybe I didn’t know how to talk to them. I’m really not sure. #MSWL (1/?)

Either way, it was incredibly isolating, so I turned to story for comfort and an attempt at understanding.

I want to be able to provide that for other teens—a healthy space to grieve and feel and process what they’re going through. #MSWL (2/2)

I’m specifically on the lookout for women and non-binary horror writers. (MG, YA, A)
