And on the middle grade and YA side, I want funny, I want adventure, I want completely new, never-seen-before characters and settings, I want high-concept romances, lots of friendship and heart, just phenomenal stories and journeys all over🚀🌴

For adult, I would love to see some gorgeous sweeping historical fiction, something to make me laugh out loud, original, high-concept crime/thrillers and cosy crime, and those all-consuming love stories you just have to tell all your friends about💙

After two in-person book fairs, a work trip to Milan, and several incredibly exciting deals, tba, for both children's and adult fiction (✨), and three equally exciting submissions planned for this week (👀), I am very excited to be re-opening my submissions!
