I'd love adult or YA horror that goes beyond the haunted house. I'm ready for something new.

I am not the right agent for slashers. I'm okay with gore/body horror, but if it outweighs the suspense/atmosphere/creeping dread, then it's likely not a good fit. #mswl

In 2025, I would love to sign my first adult non-fiction project. Top of my list is food writing/food memoir. Some recent favorites in this genre:
- CORK DORK
- NATIONAL DISH
- CRYING IN H MART
- KOSHERSOUL

I'd really love to do some Adult Non-Fiction this year. I'm mainly interested in food writing/history (think CORK DORK, DRUNK, THE COOKING GENE). #MSWL

I will remain open to Adult SFF, but given that I have many wonderful clients writing in that space, it won't be my focus this year.

OK, #MSWL time. In Adult, I want SUSPENSE, especially centering women, queer characters, and BIPOC. I prefer smaller scale, with high personal stakes.

I'm not the right fit for detectives/police/military or ppl running around the world trying to stop [insert catastrophic thing]

This is a hyper-specific Horror ask but I would die (and be reborn as a ghost) for an Adult or YA novel that takes inspiration from "The Green Ribbon." #mswl

I am steadily catching up on queries, but as a general note, I would love to see more Adult Contemporary Romance and more Middle Grade in my inbox. #MSWL

Adult Historical Fiction.

Think Kate Quinn or Alice Hoffman -- upmarket book club fiction that brings history to life.
