#mswl (I’m a pacific rim stan first, a she-ra fan second)

all of this, queer & BIPOC & underrepresented voices are highly prioritized 👁️

with my maybe pile depleted, I'm looking for more delicious queries in my inbox, namely

🦴fantasy horror (pls!)
🦴queer YA contemp
🦴retellings (non-Western, no fairytales)
🦴woman w/ big sword (I've been BEGGING)
🦴arthurian lore re-imagined
🦴YA sci-fi

#mswl I’m begging

#mswl obviously

I feel like my picks have most been adult SFF, which I *love* btw, but I also really want to have some YA & MG on my list

as hopefully offers solidify & client duty calls, I’ll become more selective and slow responding with requests

that being said, for March I’d love to see more YA in my inbox, especially queer + BIPOC (the the latter applies to everything)

card declined at therapy so you add to your #MSWL 👀

🎸a sprinkle of rage
🎸a melody of misery
🎸horror-tinted romance
🎸bittersweet love
🎸magical riff
🎸teens taking back the world
🎸friends to the end

ICYMI, hi! I'm the newly promoted Associate Agent at ArtHouse Literary! 💃

While you may find my full #mswl in the comments, I wanted to offer a non-exhaustive visionboard of what I love and—therefore—am looking for in my query inbox. Anything that matches w/ you?
