By "surreal," I mainly mean books that feel like SFF but technically aren't-- I'd love a project that takes place on a reality TV set, or largely on the internet, regardless of whether it has other speculative elements. AMATKA is an all-time favorite book.

It's #MSWL Day! As always, I'm looking for speculative and surreal fiction for adults, and I like it smart, fun, and weird.

Right now, I'm especially in the mood for:

- well-researched historical settings
- classic-mystery structures
- books with a coherent moral/political point of view

It's #MSWL day! I represent adult SF, fantasy, and horror; also open to mainstream fiction with genre elements, or a deeply surreal/speculative flavor. This year, I hope to expand into romance and mystery, esp. with speculative elements. I like books to be smart, fun, and weird.

Oh hey it's #MSWL day! Here's a link to my new shiny page. TLDR: I want adult fiction that stretches my imagination, and connects me back to big chewy ideas in the real world. Fresh speculative fiction, philosophical SFFH, ambitious satires.

Sunday #MSWL: I'm DYING to represent an abolitionist procedural or mystery. Justice in resistance to the police/prison state, and/or the pursuit of justice in a place without police/prisons.

Adult fiction or NNF, speculative elements welcome. DMs open!
