In YA/Adult/Graphic Novel, I love:

🕵️A locked room mystery or a closed set thriller, like Detention (2021)

🏺Dark academia that really grapples with what it means to be a person of color in academia and the complicity it begs of you in its racist and classist structures

New year, new #MSWL!

I represent BIPOC, Queer, and marginalized creators writing commercial genre fiction across MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel. My particular weaknesses are genre-blending SFF, horror, and anything with murder or making out (ideally both)

The plot of It's Raining Men is honestly a banger sci-fi concept #MSWL

Among Us is making me crave a novel that encapsulates the particular gnawing dread of standing with your back to an empty hallway and hoping a faceless coworker won't come up and murder you horribly while you try to do crucial tetris (#mswl or recommendations, if you got'em!)

2020 is when Persona 4 finally got released for PC, so 2020's the perfect time to remix that nostalgic, small-town Japan, crime-solving-teens feeling except w/o the homophobia and pointless sexism, right? #mswl

in my ongoing campaign to only care about villains, I desperately want to read a story where the MC has the slow, horrifying, dawning realization that THEY are the antagonist #mswl

I'm so deeply in love with the Magnus Archives - it scratches the same itch Sarah Monette's BONE KEY does. Send me your episodic horror and your emotionally unavailable conspiracy chasing librarians 😭 #MSWL
