And jumping off mermaids: PROFESSIONAL MERMAIDS. Have you all seen the people who make the super realistic mermaid tales? Or do you know there mermaid meet ups? Or that you can take a class to learn to swim like a mermaid (it's a scuba diving class) #MSWL

Mermaids. I know I am picky, but I know the mermaid story for me is out there.

It'll be atmospheric, mermaids won't talk under water, hell it might not even be set in the water. #MSWL

Lastly, as always, in all areas my focus is on uplifting marginalized communities, so stories about BIPOC folk, queer folk, disabled folk, folks with mental illness, etc are what I'm looking for. 9/10

Books that contain themes of race, class, identity, home, belonging, inheritance, land, lineage, grief, sexuality, self-exploration are ideal. 8/10

For Nonfic, I'm looking for Narrative nonfiction, some memoir and cultural criticism. I'm pretty flexible here, but generally looking for authors who have a personal stake in the subject matter and who can infuse their own perspective into whatever they're investigating 7/10

I'm open to books set mostly in the real world, but that have speculative elements that help tell stories in interesting ways. I'm also looking for some upmarket fiction and short stories! Similar themes/ideas as in Lit Fic 6/10

I love coming of age novels too (whether they feature a young protagonist taking on the world on their own for the first time or a second coming of age that takes characters into new phases in their lives.) 5/10

Workplace novels. Novels about power, control, resistance. Novels that investigate the ills of capitalism and the commodification of art. Also, speaking of art, I'm interested novels that make fresh and interesting social commentary on art, music, fashion, entertainment etc. 4/10

Specifically, I'm looking for complex family sagas that span decades (must include a contemporary component). Stories about friendships and the ways those bonds build and sometimes fracture. Sibling stories. Novels about home, belonging, lineage, legacy, and inheritance. 3/10

I haven't done a #MSWL in a while, so you know what time it is. Here's what I'm looking for these days. Agents, holla at me. 1/10

Literary Fiction! I'm always on the hunt for beautiful, lyrical, haunting prose. Sentences that will stay with me for a long time. But I also want these books to have plots that move the story along, that have heart and wit and sharp observations about the world around us. 2/10

Stefanie Rossitto #MSWL I am also looking for a book on menopause: I want it to be timely and hilarious - it can be a rom-com/ romance/ women's fiction

I rep everything from PB through to adult projects, both fiction and NF but see previous note about authors who write mainly PB (list is currently VERY full in that area). I also rep illustrators selectively.

I'm also only considering memoir and sci-fi very selectively. I'm not the best fit for epic/high fantasy (think Game of Thrones) but I do like magical realism, urban fantasy and some paranormal and horror.
