I have a vague idea of a millennial Practical Magic-esque book I'd love to read - friends/roommates working, dating, paying off their debt, saging their apartment & charging their crystals. (Or maybe I've just lived in LA too long? 🤷♀️)

I'd also love to find whatever the book version of Jane the Virgin is (always and forever), and/or something that makes my heart glow like that. (Similarly, relationships I can root for as hard as I am for David's in Schitt's Creek!)
Literary Agent
I'm also looking for accessible historical fiction with a great hook. I'm a big rom-com fan (in teen + adult), but my bar is very high thanks to my brilliant authors, who are pubbing some of the best in the game (if I can just brag on them a bit!).

Hello, #MSWL! I'm looking to sign up some exciting new projects. Here are a few things I'd love to see: If you have a book that feels like vacation (deceptively easy -- super smart, but doesn't feel like work), please send it my way!I'd love to find high concept women's fiction and general commercial fiction, as well as creative contemporary fantasy - stories grounded in our world but w/a magical twist (for teens or adults).

#MSWL I've also always wanted a wf book about perfume. Which, let's be honest, probably has some sort of magic in it? But maybe not!

Top of my #MSWL: women's fiction and romance by/about underrepresented voices. Contemporary. Historical. Contemporary or historical with a magical element. Grounded SF. Romcoms. Happy books. Also, maybe a big, sweeping gothic romance?
