Chatting with an editor today who I'd LOVE to work with, and who said that she wanted romcoms with dark, edgy, weirdness at the core.
ME TOO. SEND THEM TO US!! #MSWL

Reading a colleague's client's picture book MS this afternoon and realizing that what the world needs is a PB about the red umbrella as a symbol of support for sex workers. Send this to meeee! #MSWL

It appears that there are no great books out there about families managing and/or people living with FASD. I would love to see a great, nuanced, non-fiction title on this subject. #MSWL

B&N released their top books picks of 2022 so far today, and if I had to pick one for my #MSWL, it would be @kalanipickhart's I WILL DIE IN A FOREIGN LAND - Ripped from the headlines, folkloric elements, some experimenting with form - I would jump at the chance for one like this.

I've been mulling this over for a while, but I'm officially adding this concept to my #MSWL: by an author who has lived in one and knows the culture, the story of how gentrification, urbanization, and development are impacting the residents of mobile home parks.

This is maybe nothing, but I've been looking at a lot of new release books lately, and so many of the spooky ones have frosted covers and are set in cold places... I think the pendulum is going to swing, so sent me all your SCALDING thrillers. Make me sweat. #MSWL

I feel like I want more fantasy with small scale stakes with a big sense of world. Less save the world/prevent the war. With more "Find the perfect flower to make a healing tea" and then explore the people and situations along the way. twitter.com/HiuGregg/statuβ¦Literary Agent
Howβs this for an #MSWL premise: YA romcom. Talented queer girl becomes trainee to be around girls and delay marriage by becoming a star. Right before her debut, she meets the love sheβs always dreamed of, and has to choose between becoming a star or living her true dream life.

ISO a contestant, judge, host, producer of a cooking/baking competition show whoβs interested in working on a book with me! I have an #MSWL idea thatβs been brewing for a LONG time.

This video just hit over 300M views in 8 weeks - and it deserves it. JUST SO YOU KNOW, K-pop books are a staple on my #MSWL and will STILL be there going into 2022... along with any other heavy-hitting Korean culture themes (K-drama, food, etc.) by knowledgeable authors.

If you have submitted a query to me and you haven't heard back from me at all (aside from our editorial board's autoresponse), that means that I've stepped aside at this time. However, I do have a bunch of queries that I'm still considering, and a BIG stack of fulls!I will re-open to queries some time in EARLY 2022, with a freshly updated #MSWL. I need some time to read before then, and get through my backlog! As always, ASK ME ANYTHING - in this thread, or by DM. And thank you for being here to hold me accountable through this process!

Is there a book yet about the links between alt-right discourse/oration style, network marketing/MLMs, and enigmatic narcissism/cult leaders? I would read the heck out of that. #MSWL
Literary Agent
As of now, I am only accepting referred queries from authors traditionally marginalized in publishing! Thank you to everyone whoβs generously shared materials with me - I will reopen in 2022! #AmAgenting #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity #MSWL #SpineSquad

Started Nothing But Blackened Teeth last night & you know when they say someone's writing is as sharp as a knife, never has it fit so aptly than it does for @casskhaw. The way they make interpersonal relations as much a part of the horror as the horror is perfection.This is why Cassandra Khaw is a comp on my #MSWL!!
