SF/F where LGBTQ+ is and has always been seen as a natural part of the world. Worlds that don't reflect our current bias. #MSWLAnd also this, but for YA. (Reminder that I don't rep adult SFF.) #mswl twitter.com/notjustanybogg…

#mswl Intricately plotted, page turning contemp women's fic w/ a unique storyline/hook + the suspense of Moriarty or the insight of Wolitzer

#mswl I will forever want magical realism in MG, YA & women's fiction. Bonus if the magic is strongly rooted in a specific culture or place.
Literary Agent
#mswl Page-turning literary fiction w/ LBTQ MCs, abt more than coming out/being closeted. Think Sarah Waters' novels or Ariel Scrag's ADAM.
