Finally, I love historical fiction would be ecstatic to get some in my inbox, especially stories set around the world. Some of my favorites include LOOT by Tania James, HAMNET by Maggie O'Farrell, PACHINKO by Min Jin Lee, and THE NICKEL BOYS by Colson Whitehead #MSWL

I don't think I’m generally a great fit for fantasy, BUT the exception would be something cozy with Studio Ghibli vibes. Cafes! Weird little guys! Girl empowerment! Nature! Cats! Wholesome! Coming-of-age! (Not looking for super complicated world-building or heavy romance/spice) #MSWL

Still figuring out my romance tastes, but if your manuscript has fake relationship, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, or late bloomer tropes, pls send it my way. I also love nerds! Neurodiverse, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ protags/love interests always welcome #MSWL

I’m selective with horror—no gore for gore’s sake. But if you can weave in social commentary like THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS by Stephen Graham Jones or mental health themes like in THE SEPTEMBER HOUSE by Carissa Orlando, I’d love to see those. Fresh perspectives are a must! #MSWL

Tropes and other things I like to see in mysteries/thrillers: spunky girls, amateur detectives, blackmail, dark backstories, old houses, clever twists, libraries, ghosts and the supernatural, locked rooms, #BIPOC and #LGBTQ protagonists, folklore-inspired tales

I would love to see some mysteries, especially whodunits and cozies! If you have a fresh take on the genre please send it my way. Some recent ones I’ve enjoyed are the SUSAN RYELAND series by Anthony Horowitz and HOW TO SOLVE YOUR OWN MURDER by Kristen Perrin #MSWL

Since I’m officially an associate agent, I'm excited to announce that I'm open to queries for the first time! Here is my #MSWL thread with my fiction interests & instructions on how to query me :)
