In general, I'm drawn to strong voice and characters we can get deep within. Distant writing makes it hard for me to connect, so I'm probably not the best agent for those.
Give me nuanced villains, realistic conflicts, & new perspectives

In Adult, my main focus will be historical, contemporary romance, and select fantasy/paranormal. Adult is a harder sell for me, so it HAS to really be unique, new, and with strong voice/conflict

I prefer MG to be a bit more mature. If it’s under 30k, it most likely too short for me or doesn’t have enough build to grab me. I like things to be really fleshed out, to fall into the world and wish to stay

It's almost time!!! Given how I'll be opening my query box again in November, here's my new and improved #MSWL 😆 #amagenting #querytip #amquerying pic.twitter.com/nbD7rKjsClIn YA & MG, I really want historical, paranormal, contemporary, fantasy (of all kinds!), and non-graphic horror
Keep in mind, I'm super on the hunt for LGBTQ+, diverse voices, and new settings/events/creatures that aren't mainstream

It's been brought to my attention in a sort of roundabout way that people aren't interested in queer books, esp QPoC books, that don't center trauma.Can y'all do me a favor & RT this if you'd love to read some books about queer people with little to no trauma in them?
My main Qpoc (and all lgbtq) ask is for them just BEING PEOPLE and having a life. Please send me these rather than trauma porn #mswl

Tara is open to queries @Literary_Tara
Ok, I'd love to see some really unique occult stuff in my box. Not straight-up witches, but a new spin on the occult. I love things that play with cards (tarot and the likes). Maybe a new spin on a magic library or a creepy forest. I love super dark and super happy fiction. #mswl pic.twitter.com/32Y4XVmbJ3Oooo I #mswl the occult bit, too. 😍

Since I’ve been rewatching Buffy, I realized I would love a YA anthology that features stories of characters who come into contact with the same vampire over hundreds of years.One who hunts them, one who nearly dies because of them, one who loves them, one who kills them
Ummm yes please! Multi pov for the win! #mswl

Watching videos about "behind the scenes" staff from famous movies (nightmare before Xmas; Pirates) and realizing how many women really created them: from script to costume to models/graphicsWould love a historical or contemporary focusing on highlighting their roles! #mswl
Example: scriptwriter of Nightmare before Xmas was dating man who was Jack's singing voice. Showed him script, he hated it, she gave to studio anyway, they loved it.
Would love to see a WF of a woman w/perseverance and finding success despite that sort of obstacle #mswl
