After nearly 20 years as an editor at Penguin Random House, I'm thrilled to start my new literary agency, Gramercy Literary! For fiction, I'm looking for authors writing history, military, politics, biographies, journalism, memoirs and science. #amquerying #MSWL

I just watched Challengers and I don’t know how to feel but I think it would be really good in book format
- dual/multiple timelines
- competitive sports
- love triangles
- morally grey MC

#MSWL

I'd planned to stay open to queries until the end of May, but I have so much amazing work in my inbox and a number of clients going on submission soon & therefore need to focus on what I have atm.

Closing Monday, so if you've been waiting it's time to submit!

#MSWL sports pls!

I would love to find trans femme #YA writers in my query box. #MSWL

hi yes hello #mswl

i feel like i've said this before but i will say again that i would love a YA or MG historical fiction set during the AIDS epidemic! #mswl

Did I mention I'm open to #SciFi now?!! I would love to see a sci-fi romance. Or anything with multi-media elements similar to THE ILLUMINAE FILES by Amie Kaufman #MSWL

has anyone played the game Darkwood because goodness me those are #mswl vibes

I'm leaning pretty light-hearted these days but I'm not necessarily opposed to darker twinged series. But please no being dark and brutal for the sake of being dark and brutal! I want stories to feel hopeful #MSWL

My #mswl gets pretty detailed into what I am looking for but generally speaking, I'm drawn to characters first & foremost in a story. I want to fall in love with them, I want to feel like they're my best friend, I want to call them up and yell at them for their bad decisions.

I am ONLY looking for YA/New Adult/Adult stories in romance, rom-coms, romantasy, upmarket/book club fiction, and women's fiction. OK to cross into the magical side of speculative (time travel, time slip, parallel universe stories a la THE SEVEN YEAR SLIP by Ashley Poston)

*Taylor Swift voice* It's been a long time coming...

I will be open to queries from June 1st-Aug 31st 2024! You can take a look at my updated #MSWL here:

#MSWL Would love some nouveau riche casts in material too! Probably most interested in international settings for Adult work, though happy to see U.S. settings too especially in YA.

MG, YA, NA/Adult welcome. Genre mixing or SFF w/same vibes welcome! Would love BIPOC casts!

#MSWL Just binged Arsenal Military Academy (the C-drama) & I'd LOVE to see stories w/similar weird-but-they-REALLY-work, squad goal friendships!

Happy to see romance/fantasy/historical or other genres here! Would love boarding school settings, big friendships/staked adventure!

Basic summary of what I'm currently acquiring:
✔️MG & YA (all genres)
✔️GN for kids w/illustrator attached
✔️Adult/NA romcom/romcom adjacent
✔️Adult/NA romantasy
✔️Adult/NA SFF w/ strong romance
✔️Narrative NF in History only

And I usually acquire commercial material.
