#MSWL. I would love to see some biographies of hidden and even well known figures (if they shed a different or new light on the subject). My first jobs in publishing were on two historical projects, and It would be great to expand my client list in this area.

#MSWL. Would love to see some historical fiction set in the 1950s. I am also a fan of most New York City history and stories about hidden figures who played a key role in the city's culture and arts. Continuing to look for YA and adult rom coms, especially with diverse casts.

#MSWL. And, especially during today’s #PitMad, I am seeking stories that resonate with hope. A beach read is always welcome as are stories involving motherhood, parenting and female friendships.

#MSWL. I always find some of my best projects during difficult times. Because I know any book that can take me out of the present and keep my attention is a winner. So please send on those projects. I need a great distraction from the news!
