Happy #MSWL day!

some specific shoutouts:
- voice! voice! voice! anything voice-driven with some kind of social lens (YA/adult)
- a literary love story a la PAST LIVES (A24) and FIRST LOVE (Netflix)

my general wishlist remains the same so please do check it out!

I have a YA-shaped hole in my heart... so would love to see more YA in my queries! #mswl

✨dark, sweeping, and utterly irresistible speculative novels
✨non-Western centric narratives
✨elements of thriller/mystery/suspense
✨unputdownable voice!!
✨will never say no to magic!
