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

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
