Adding some specifics to my nonfiction #MSWL, I'd like to see pitches and proposals for books about:
- divorce
- parenting, esp. through a cultural lens
- re-parenting or deprogramming
- relationships (all kinds, romantic and non-)

picking my wine for dinner and it made me think I'd love to rep a wine book that gets super nerdy into chemistry or biology as it relates to taste/smell of wine and wine grapes (think terpenoids, anthocyanins, yeast strains). who's writing this? #MSWL

I would be incredibly interested in a nonfiction book examining a purportedly "Western" invention and its actual roots elsewhere (or, a compendium of these!) #MSWL

in fiction and nonfiction, I particularly want to see more BIPOC, disabled, LGBT+ authors (though please don't feel pressured to disclose anything you're not comfortable with)
more indigenous/non-Western culture, mythology, and tropes

more loves: affairs (not about romance), extremely harsh settings, apocalypses, characters labeled as "crazy" who turn out to be right, sabotage, order quickly devolving into chaos, thelma & louise themes

I do love: fables, gallows humor, absurdism, unsettling atmospheres, unreliable narrators, sympathetic villains, anti-heroes, adventures, revenge-plots, twists that make the reader say "it all makes sense now!"

I'm not the right agent for these kinds of novels: reproductive horror or dystopia, high fantasy, multi-generational family sagas, drama surrounding music or singing

adult books only!
I'm NOT looking for PB, MG, YA, NA or kid lit in any form. I'm also NOT looking for romance or poetry or historical fiction.
(no, your book will not be the one that convinces me to rep [category I don't rep], and I won't/can't respond to those queries, sorry.)
