Prepping my #MSWL fall edition and realizing I'm feeling High Concept Contemporary or Contemporary Adjacent lately...
Literary Agent
You know what I’m feeling? Adult #RomVenture #MSWL. Think: Lost city, romancing the stone, raiders of the lost ark, how to steal a million, to catch a thief.

#mswl I’d love some YA, MG, and or Adult Adventure … heists, treasures, puzzles, rom-venture! Think Heist Society, Inheritance Game, Lost City, Indiana Jones, etc.

I asked Wharton students what they thought the average American worker makes per year and 25% of them thought it was over six figures. One of them thought it was $800k. Really not sure what to make of this (The real number is $45k)#MSWL crossover Non-Fiction re: Financial Literacy & for youngish people. We can call it EARNIN' & BURNIN' and I'm only sort of half kidding here...

I'll never not love & rep Children's books, but I am hungry for Adult titles in the up market genre-adjacent spaces; Suspense, Mystery, Speculative, SFF. Recent (to me) favorites include Marlon James, Lucy Foley, Katherine Arden, Kate Racculia, Britt Bennett, N.K. Jemisin. #MSWL

Agents, I would love to see more adult subs! I'm looking for upmarket book club fiction. If you have the next Kiley Reid, Raven Leilani, Celeste Ng, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Brit Bennett, Camille Pagán, Asha Lemmie, or any other authors who write in this space, send my way! #MSWLI meant, who wouldn't #MSWL this list?

Early morning publishing thought: I want a children’s Horror imprint. Like all the creepy MG and YA. Maybe get a big name or two to launch the imprint while also giving marginalized voices the chance at having a popular horror series like Goosebumps or Fear Street.I'm afraid of the The Faustian Deal I would agree to if it meant a Goosebumps or Fear Street featuring characters and authors who have been historically barred from the genre *and* the in-house support to knock it out. #MSWL

Finally read THE GUEST LIST in the middle of an insomnia bout ... #MSWL Anything Lucy Foley adjacent !

Eternally here for YA Rosemary's Baby. Not in the super-natural sense, but in the social horror sense. #MSWL

Are any of my YA role models working on a book about the dangers of suburban white boys being recruited for extremist ideals over video games and Reddit? Because there need to be A LOT of books about it. @LitAgentMarini @halseanderson @JasonReynolds83 @angiecthomas @AcevedoWrites#MSWL y'all 👇👇👇
