Already obsessed with this movie. Also—this premise is a great example of a "high concept rom com." #MSWL 💕

Oh! And if you are more of a visual processor like me, check out my #MSWL Pinterest boards:

MIDDLE GRADE—I’d love to find more middle grade. I love mysteries, historical, magic-tinged, verse novels. Some of my favorites: NO ORDINARY THING, THE ELEPHANT’S GIRL, BROWN GIRL DREAMING, and THE DOLLHOUSE MURDERS. #MSWL

PICTURE BOOKS—I am specifically looking for author-illustrators in this space. Send me anything that is humor-driven, brimming with heart, and/or has a touch of magic. Some of my favorites: THE NIGHT GARDENER, WE DON’T EAT OUR CLASSMATES, ALMA, THE BEAR AND THE PIANO. #MSWL

GRAPHIC NOVELS—I’d love to work on more graphic novels, from MG to YA to Adult. I’m open to taking a look at anything here. Try me! Some of my favorite GNs: PUMPKINHEADS, BATTER ROYALE, THE PRINCESS AND THE DRESSMAKER, PASHMINA, MEASURING UP, ISLA TO ISLAND. #MSWL

THRILLERS—gosh I love thrillers. Give me all the twists and turns! I’m looking for something that really grips the reader. Some favorites: LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE, THEN SHE WAS GONE, THE WOMAN IN CABIN 10, VERITY, and FINAL GIRLS. I’d also love a cheeky mystery like THE MAID. #MSWL

SPECULATIVE—I’d love to find adult fiction with light touches of magic such as magical realism, cozy fantasy, or magic-tinged rom coms. THE INHERITANCE OF ORQUÍDEA DIVINA, THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR WITCHES, THE EX HEX, and EMILY WILDE’S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAERIES. #MSWL

ROM COMS—I love rom coms, especially when there is a high concept commercial hook. My favorite tropes are grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, fish out of water, forced proximity. Some of my all-time favorites are: BEACH READ (elite), THE UNHONEYMOONERS, and REAL MEN KNIT. #MSWL

BOOK CLUB FICTION—I love books that are engaging, accessible reads but still have some layers to them. Some examples of this are LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, VIOLETA, WHERE’D YOU GO BERNADETTE, THE DOLLHOUSE, THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO, ROOM, ACTS OF VIOLET. #MSWL

Hey! Here is a more detailed look at my current #MSWL. I’m specifically looking to expand the adult fiction portion of my client list this year so that’s what I’m going to be highlighting here—

I’m going to post a more detailed #MSWL thread soon, but in the meantime—here’s a big picture overview of what I’m looking for this year! ✨

Since we’re talking about other platforms, I think one of the best ways to get to know me is through my Pinterest boards. I have a board for books I've worked on, #MSWL, my favorite movies/TV shows/books, illustration styles I love, etc. etc. ✨

When I was growing up there seemed to be a micro-genre of Kafka-esque picture books about kids waking up with mysterious, fantastical physical conditions. They were so fun! I'd love to see projects like these. #MSWL

I’d love to see more speculative adult fiction in my inbox. Magical realism, grounded fantasy, cozy fantasy, rom coms. Think “a little bit of magic and a whole lot of heart” and that’s my cup of tea.✨ #MSWL

I’d love to see more adventure-fueled picture books in my inbox ✨ #MSWL

Saaaaaaame. Send me all of your fashion-related books please.

Worth noting that I have a folder on my desktop called "Fave red carpet looks" for absolutely no reason other than it makes me happy. 👠✨#MSWL

Since there are some new faces 'round these parts, I thought I'd share some fresh links:

I think graphic novels are a fantastic visual way to showcase bodies of all sizes, so I’d love to rep a GN in the same vein as Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.

Side note: I could talk about this show for 8 million years. If only this show existed when I was younger 🥲 #MSWL

I'm also excited to share that I've opened back up to queries for picture books, middle grade, adult fiction, and graphic novels. #MSWL below:
