#MSWL 1/2

I am looking for commercial and upmarket fiction across genres. As a working class literary agent, I am particularly interested to hear from working class voices. In books, I am particularly drawn to ...

I would so vibe with an adult or maybe YA (think Percy Jackson) where we find out all the Greek statues were people turned to stone by Medusa — and she’s back? Or something smart. Engage writer brains. #MSWL give me 👀 if you have this now

"I would love atmospheric and speculative mysteries and thrillers that skew psychological and cerebral with unreliable narrators. Stories where the setting is the main character and characters have full and dynamic backstories!"
Marina Green #MSWL

Finally saw K-Pop Demon Hunters, and though it's not *quite* as good as the Spider-Verse movies (which are perfect, no arguments), it's still #mswl .

"Send me upmarket genre fiction: fantasy, grounded science fiction, magical realism, and horror."

6. Last but not least #neurodiversity in all its beautiful forms, whether autistic love, or a later-in-life diagnosis of a woman with ADHD (let's just say, I can relate); I want to see the messy reality & challenges of being neurodiverse. More MG esp. in this space! #MSWL

I'm pretty sensitive so if you get me crying it's a good sign but it's also something that has got to keep me thinking days later, about the characters, their world, their challenges...someone I can root for even if the world is against them. #MSWL

Some of my other all-time favorite movies include Roman Holiday, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 500 Days of Summer (someone tell me a love story in reverse, doesn't need to have a happy ending), The Great Gatsy (in all its iterations), Say Anything, etc. #MSWL

On the other end, I would love to find a rom com that feels like Cecily Song's Past Lives but w/ a touch more romance, a nod to The Lake House, something with a grounded but fantastical element that spans time or space. Past Lives made me cry and really touched me. #MSWL

TL; DR, surprise me, I'm on the hunt for fiction right now, though I'm always open to a smart NF book proposal. I'm in the mood to see more edgy material and stories that make me think and stay with me long after. For TV/ streaming I LOVED Severance, The Last of Us, and From.

5. Horror (adult or YA)! Just getting my feet wet, but would love more feminist lens/ feminist horror a la Maeve Fly by CJ Leede or Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder. Not super into gore, more into social commentary, voice is paramount--take me on a journey through the MC's mind! #MSWL

4. Non-fiction of all stripes, topics of interest: mind/body/spirit, intuition, tarot, astrology, women's health, natural world (especially trees, fungi, ecosystems, underwater/ reefs etc.), natural disasters, reportage, culinary stories, leadership, business development. #MSWL

3. Middle grade, whether prose, verse, or graphic novels. Must have heart, lovable MC's who face challenges, friendship or sibling stories (would love to see more of these), open to magical or speculative elements and would like a touch of genre w/o too many tonal changes. #MSWL

2. Adult & YA graphic novels, fiction or non-fiction in the vein of Ducks by Kate Beaton, Advocate by Eddie Ahn, Trashed by Derk Backderf, or A Fire Story by Brian Fies. Looking for GN authors or artists (even better if you write and illustrate) w/ a unique perspective. #MSWL
