Poignant YA/MG. Not necessarily sad, but perfectly true. Books that make you understand what it means to be human #mswl
Literary Agent
A really good witch book #MSWL
Literary Agent
I have an anthro degree, and I love it in my books, but I see too many archaeologists. Show me a diff side of the discipline! #MSWL
Literary Agent
#MSWL SFF based on non-western cultures. Give me new family structures, gender roles, and more
Literary Agent
Middle-of-the-day #MSWL reminder: if a tweet fits your book, check that your book is in the agent's categories! I do MG, YA, SF/F, Rom/E!
Literary Agent
#MSWL more books that deal with collective trauma. Especially transgenerationally. #SFF #YA #C #ownvoices
Literary Agent
Rollicking space adventures with a senior citizen lead (I want some "I'm too old for this sh*t") #MSWL
Literary Agent
#MSWL books that deal with the idea of "passing"—with regards to race, invisible disabilities, or anything else
Literary Agent
Do you know what would be cool? A fantasy set in a setting inspired by beer-brewing Belgian monks. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Romance heroines that have more than 3 notches on their bedpost and don't equate sex with love #MSWL
Literary Agent
#MSWL I'm fascinated by:
small-scale societies
community vs individuality
code-switching/passing
intersectionality
how culture shapes people
Literary Agent
Feminism and diversity in all forms, especially from #ownvoices #MSWL
Literary Agent
To reiterate: hot, fat girls who don't care about being fat. Especially in YA and romance. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Can I please get some books with fat girls where
1) their body is not a problem to be solved
2) it's not ALL they are?
Thanks! #MSWL
Literary Agent
VERY steamy romances with vocal and enthusiastic consent! #MSWL
Literary Agent
Is your SFF based on a myth/being/folktale I've never heard of? I WANTS IT! #MSWL
Literary Agent
I love romances with heroines occupying (and rocking) traditionally male spaces. Racing? Construction? Armed forces? #MSWL
Literary Agent
YA or MG horror! #MSWL
Literary Agent
A festival/circus book! #MSWL
