Loved reading THE 12 DATES OF CHRISTMAS - debut by Jenny Bayliss. A fun, cozy and smart rom-com of a book. I've been looking for manuscripts like this in my querymanager inbox for ages. Smart, funny and fresh stories that can become the next great chickflick. #mswl @JDLitAgency

My fav part is the animation at the start. And I love that dog! #mswl that for me ;)

Just finished reading Lizzy Dent's debut THE SUMMER JOB. Loved the read! Great combo of summer fun, romance and comedy, but also warm and well developed characters. #Writers, send me manuscripts like this! #mswl #amquerying #literaryagent

Just finished reading THE SWITCH by Beth O'Leary and thoroughly loved it! Just the right amount of heart, humor and fun with a tearful (in a good way) ending. Send me something like this, writers! #mswl #amquerying

Sat up late into the night finishing CIRCE by Madeline Miller. What a stunning and inspiring read! Original, fresh - writers, I'd love to see manuscripts that are comparable. #mswl
