<3 @modomodom's recs. Her latest, American Housewife: Stories, has exactly the kind of sentences that remind me why I love reading. #MSWL

Also on my list: vintage technology. Give me a story (fiction or non) about something like the telegraph, the beginning of TV, etc. #MSWL

I'll go a little further and say that I tend to enjoy stories with objects that almost come alive--like in The Science of Sleep. #MSWL

I have a fascination with agoraphobia and houses that seem almost (in writing) alive. If you have a story like that, let me know! #MSWL

In a 2009 interview, I said I love books officially about one thing, but really, actually, about so much more. This is still true! #MSWL

I'm very interested in the (real and metaphorical) technology of everyday (fiction, nonfiction, future, imagined) life. #MSWL

I love starting with a protagonist who, it seems, has a unique problem. But then, as we read on, we see just how universal it is. #MSWL

I'd love to see diverse characters in positions of power, with optimistic storylines, and having a lot of fun. All genres. #MSWL
Literary Agent
As always, I like contrasts: highbrow sentences + lowbrow content, science + emotion, scary + beautiful, ecstatic + heartbreaking. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'd love a YA with a protagonist who uses Veronica Mars-esque skills to hide his/her/their awkwardness. Diverse characters a plus! #MSWL
