#mswl I’m really craving a romance novel set in Nashville/country music scene.
I miss Rayna & Deacon.
I want a book that captures the love stories of country music. Could be m/m like the Nashville plot, could be f/f like an alt-country Brandi Carlisle esque romance.

#mswl Indigenous food writers! I want to hear from you! We need more books in this space.

A reminder that I work on cookbooks and I love them!
I love food. I love celebrating it. I love eating it. I love talking about it. All food is good food.
These are most of my cookbooks that I’ve worked on over the last ~8 years.
Pitch me platform driven food books! #mswl

Are there any books (or if anyone wants to pitch me one! query(at)psliterary(dot)com) about mixed up internet identities in a fun way (two people with the same name getting each others' emails and what not)? I'd be interested in a romcom or upmarket fiction in that space! #mswl

Unlikely friendship novels with heavy plot & a feel-good ending #mswl

Would love to get more book pitches from women of colour in the food/cooking space! #mswl

When our @PSLiterary query inbox opens again for the New Year please send me adult commercial/upmarket novels that are 70-85k. I would love some short and punchy novels. I don't want to read anything over 90k right now. My attention span (& the rest of the world) is SHORT. #mswlI'm thinking My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite short. #mswl
