I'm slowly catching up on my requested reading and planning to reopen to submission Feb 1st!

I'll put together a little twitter #mswl for what I'm on the hunt for. I know the timing's right because I'm really excited to see new queries! 🥹🥹

-- ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING -- Love me a ~quirky~ murder mystery that's funny and heartfelt. I'd love to see this across age groups.

-- TURNING RED -- Give me all the coming of age middle grade novels and graphic novels! The more embarrassing, funny, relatable, the better.

-- SELLING SUNSET -- I wonder if someone out there has written a thriller/horror about glamorous realtors meeting untimely ends or getting caught up with solving a murder🤔

-- THE GREAT NORTH -- I'd love to see a novel or book club adult fic about characters out in Alaska or similarly remote landscape. This one I'm genre agnostic on, I'll take humor, horror, thriller, romance, across all age groups (nothing younger than MG).

-- BRIDGERTON Season 2 -- If every romance I read had the scorching chemistry of Kanthony, I'd die happy. Send me all your quippy, enemies to lovers romance, though not in a historical/regency setting.

-- OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH -- I'd love a queer take on pirates in the adult upmarket/book club space, in the vein of OUTLAWED but out at sea. I'd also be interested in this for YA or MG graphic novel!

-- RANKING OF KINGS -- I'd love to see a middle grade novel (graphic or prose) that explores a kid born into royalty/monarchy that doesn't fit the bill for what a ruler should be or some other setting!

Still looking for more women's fic like this! #amquerying writers #mswl

Re: period & puberty discourse from #TurningRed, I'm actively looking for middle grade novels that addresses these topics! Give me all the earnest (slightly cringe but still funny) coming of age MGs that grapple with these 'taboo' issues or just include them! #amquerying #mswl

By some miracle, I'm nearly caught up with my queries (not that I'm caught up with my to-read pile!) and I'm really hungry to see some more thriller/suspense/horror in my inbox whether adult or young adult! Also horror/spooky middle grade 👀 #MSWL

I am in the ultimate cozy reading mood with this beautiful 65 degree morning. #amquerying authors, please send me all the adult rom-coms, upmarket/book club, women's fiction! #mswl

I am on the hunt for more non-fiction on my list such as illustrated or graphic novel self-help/self-care/ guides, cookbooks, crafting books, or graphic novel memoirs. #mswl

Reading The Chicken Sisters and now all I want is more women's fic or rom-com about rival restaurants, especially if LGBTQ+ #MSWL

#amquerying writers: I'm really in the mood for high concept (i.e. emphasis on plot) romances/women's fic with HEA, especially stories where the romantic interest is perceived to be the obstacle to the protagonist's goals and we get all that delicious tension 😍 #mswl

I'm really in the mood for an adult rom-com that gives me My Big Fat Greek Wedding (perfection of a movie IMO) vibes. It can be from any cultural background! #MSWL

Omg I need this as a book #mswl

This may seem weird but #mswl. I NEED any kind of book where the main characters are the embodiments of these dresses AND FALL IN LOVE 😍😍 Preferably they want to kill each other at the beginning. 😌

I know I’m not open to queries yet but I can’t resist this trope!! #mswl

Ditto!! #MSWL
