YA/Adult Fiction Agent at DMLA. Hobbit degenerate. She/her. I smile a lot/make inappropriate jokes. ππ¦ ALL SIGNS POINT TO YES β¨ Rep: @samanthashnh

Literary Agent
I would reaaaally love goofy, comedic adult fantasy in my inbox! I was just rewatching The Hobbit and I just love the quirky character dynamics within that epic adventure. Please! Sweep me away while making me laugh at dorks! #mswl

Literary Agent
I would really love an adult domestic suspense with a more pop/upbeat tone! Not everything HAS to be dark and gritty (even if itβs my natural home). Fuck, letβs get some Jawbreaker vibes up in here, writers! Not just a sardonic alcoholic with witty barbs - actual hilarity! #mswl

Literary Agent
Hear me out: Drumline or step team YA contemporary but make it thriller/mystery?? Obvi, Black & queer!! #mswl

Literary Agent
Yβall know the drill! I want a character driven coming-of-age contemporary YA centered around a queer BIPOC girl that feels like Sour by Olivia Rodrigo. #mswl

Literary Agent
Iβm looking for Adult projects. Hereβs a little about me:
I am 28 year old queer Black/Viet/Laotian woman. Let that sink in.
Iβm broke as fuck & donβt give a shit about propriety/snobby social mores.
Monogamy is meh and unhappy marriages are not my thing.
Keep in mind #mswl

Literary Agent
People who cheat get so demonized, which look itβs charged emotions and shitty betrayal, but cheaters are people too? And thatβs the kind of character I want to follow in contemporary YA. Well, specifically the person who sleeps with their bffβs partner. #mswl

The βIβm just your problemβ Bubbleline moment is my ultimate sapphic #mswl

Sailor D.J. Says @OhHeyDJ
I have a humble request. Can we get more queer content that isnβt so like, squeaky clean and perfect? I want more stuff where characters are undeniably queer, have faults and are messy.Thank youuuu. Iβm a messy queer fuck up, and those are the people and stories Iβm interested and want to champion. #mswl
