Besides manuscripts, my #FridayReads is Katie Bernet's BETH IS DEAD, a contemporary reimagining of LITTLE WOMEN as a murder mystery. I think retellings are making a comeback, but only if they do more inventive things with the source material, like this one. #mswl

My #FridayReads are contracts, client manuscripts, and Ann Liang's I AM NOT JESSICA CHEN! If you're the next Ann Liang, please send me a query posthaste. #mswl

My #FridayReads is @dannyfunt .bsky.social's EVERYBODY LOSES, a comprehensive look at the rise of sports betting in this country, which is exactly the sort of Michael-Lewis-esque narrative nonfiction I'd love to represent. #mswl

So many people have used Rebecca Ross's DIVINE RIVALS as a comp title that I finally picked it up, and so far, it's as good as advertised. Keep sending me books that comp to DIVINE RIVALS, please! #FridayReads #mswl

I'm open to all things MG and YA (as well as some adult NF), but I'd love to find a story with a Sixth-Sense-level twist, a twist that forces you to reread and confirm the clues were there—you just missed them entirely because the author is that good. #mswl

My #FridayReads is @AnnLiangY 's I HOPE THIS DOESN'T FIND YOU, which, like her other books, has been a fast-paced read so far! #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 .

Chatted with an editor on Friday who said her imprint is looking for less steamy rom-coms for readers who've aged out of MG but aren't ready for the spice of recent YA titles. This is exactly how I'd describe my own rom-com tastes, so if you've got one, please send it! #mswl

I'm now PM official!

Looking for all things MG and YA as well as select adult nonfiction. Query inbox here: QueryTracker.net/query/3838
