This on my #mswl

This is a book I'd like to see. Parents who go too far because they think they're protecting their kids. This is both fiction and nonfiction depending on your take. #mswl

Passions and personal interests hugely inform any agent's list. Mine include: Minnesota, Hockey, Cooking/Food, Wine/Cocktails, motherhood, business ownership, dogs, diversity, equality, women, books/reading. #MSWL

As mentioned yesterday, I also really want a fun cocktail book, books connected to #MeToo, books on diversity, and books set in other countries. #MSWL

I'm looking mostly for mystery, suspense, thriller, upmarket and literary fiction. I'd also love more women's fiction. I want more stories like Whisper Network, My Sister the Serial Killer, and Bright River to name a few. #MSWL

I am very passionate about #MeToo, the Weinstein stories & in awe of the brave women who have come forward. I want more fiction like Whisper Network that tells these stories. #MSWL #WF #T #S -- upmarket or literary

I have regrets that after 20 years at @bookendslit I still haven't represented a cocktail book (although I have done wine). #MSWL for 2020 is that I desperately need a mixologist on my list. Query me here: querymanager.com/query/Jessica_…

Someone put the idea of a book on imposter syndrome in my head and now I can't let it go. #mswl

I'm having such fun building my nonfiction list. I want more mind/body/spirit books. Like the Cannabis/CBD book I represent. Essential oils, meditation... #MSWL

I see a lot of WF about a woman whose partner has cheated on her. What about the other side? What if you never wanted them to leave them? What if you just wanted to be the other? #MSWL

Oh my goodness! I want this story in a book. #wf #s #t any genre about finding your partner on a dating profile, but did someone else set it up to ruin the relationship? #mswl podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inv…

I had a few minutes to sit with this brilliantly suspenseful summer read. The kind of book I love representing.

I read a ton of mystery/thriller/suspense submissions as well as women's fiction & I find that I've become increasingly disappointed when the love interest pops in and it's not a LGBTQ character. Where are my LGBTQ characters? #MSWL

When I said I like books that are light & fun, that doesn’t mean they aren’t ripe with emotion. I love a good emotional roller coaster in a book. #MSWL

I love stories about people who need to rethink their dreams. We all have them & often hold on to them well past their expiration dates. I want the story of that person realizing maybe they need a different dream. #MSWL

I definitely read to the seasons. Summer is a desire for fun & light. Last summer I was obsessed with @kevinkwanbooks — right now it’s this. Which means my #MSWL is fun & light.
