…and (even with the QM shutdown) I’m hoping to get back to everyone by the end of the year. So, if you haven’t heard from me yet, thank you for your patience!
As for 2025, here’s an updated #MSWL of what I’d love to see in the inbox. Looking forward to some exciting projects next year!

I’ll probably create an updated #MSWL for the new year, but my query inbox reopens on 12/1 for the last time in 2024. Here’s what I’m currently looking for: www.instagram.com/p/C3Qv6eOLch...

To start, at the moment I am only looking for MG, YA, and adult commercial and upmarket fiction. I’ll list the genres for each in the thread below. Unfortunately, I’m not the right person for adult literary fiction or nonfic, and (for now) I’m not actively looking for PBs.Across the board (MG, YA, and adult), I’m drawn to:
-stories with a strong family element, whether that’s biological or found family
-protagonists who aren’t the best at whatever they do or The Chosen One, but who try really *really* hard, even when they screw up

Been thinking over the types of stories I gravitate to, and noticing some common elements.So, I guess it’s kind of a forever #MSWL? Just a thread of things I love (and love to work on).
I’m reopening to queries soon, so retweeting this #MSWL thread of story elements I love...

Clever takes on familiar plots/tropes or fresh retellings that completely subvert expectations.
