"I want unlikely friendship novels with heavy plot and a feel-good ending."

In any genre I represent, it’s hard to make something too dark or unhinged for my tastes, as long as it’s interesting.

A bit specific... #mswl I'm looking for commercial fiction that treats feminine lineage + forgotten power as serious, political, alive in the modern world. Not goddess-core... something with the gravity of Mists of Avalon, but contemporary and propulsive. #litagent

"Send me history, business, politics, current affairs, memoir."

#MSWL A YA or NA historical romance with a swoony love story and a strong hook in a setting that feels different. While regency England can be fun, I’d love something that hasn’t been done before. Bonus if it’s an LGBTQIA historical romance.

"Romance novels like HOW TO END A LOVE STORY, LEFT OF FOREVER, ALIVE AND WELLS, NORA GOES OFF SCRIPT."
Carly Watters #MSWL

"Send me themes of spiritualism, humanity, community, and holistic living."

It has been super warm this fall in Texas and all I want is a seasonal read #MSWL
