"Send me dark retellings of fairy tales and classic stories, with similar sensibilities to THE BLOODY CHAMBER by Angela Carter or WICKED by Gregory Maguire."

Update: I'm building my list in New Adult and Adult Fiction, with a focus on Literary and Speculative Fiction. I’m especially interested in representing Latino/Hispanic, LGBTQ+, African-American, and Asian American writers. Please follow the submission guidelines before submitting. #MSWL #queries

Hmmm, thrillers are sneaking their way into my queries, and I’m not exactly mad about it. Maybe I need to update my #MSWL

📬5/ If this sounds like you, send a short pitch + proposal or overview to me (email in bio). I read every submission and reply when there's a fit. Please share this with writers you think I should know. Looking forward to hearing from you.

📖4/ I'm not looking for memoir or business books. I’m looking for smart, well-structured nonfiction that reveals how the world works, who holds power, and what’s at stake. Think synthesis, storytelling, and serious ambition. #MSWL

📰3/ Journalists: I’m drawn to books with depth and urgency. If you’re reporting on a topic that matters—climate, surveillance, migration, inequality, power—and can combine a compelling story with rigorous analysis, let’s talk. #MSWL

🕰️2/ Historians: I'm looking for projects that bring the past alive in vivid, accessible prose. If you're an academic with narrative skill and writing for general readers—on war, politics, technology, empire, race, culture, anything big—I want to hear from you.

📚1/ Gramercy Lit is open for nonfiction submissions! I'm especially eager to hear from historians and journalists with big, ambitious book ideas aimed at a wide audience. If you're working on something narrative, deeply reported, and driven by original insight, please read on.

#MSWL 1/2

I am looking for commercial and upmarket fiction across genres. As a working class literary agent, I am particularly interested to hear from working class voices. In books, I am particularly drawn to ...

I would so vibe with an adult or maybe YA (think Percy Jackson) where we find out all the Greek statues were people turned to stone by Medusa — and she’s back? Or something smart. Engage writer brains. #MSWL give me 👀 if you have this now

"I would love atmospheric and speculative mysteries and thrillers that skew psychological and cerebral with unreliable narrators. Stories where the setting is the main character and characters have full and dynamic backstories!"

Finally saw K-Pop Demon Hunters, and though it's not *quite* as good as the Spider-Verse movies (which are perfect, no arguments), it's still #mswl .
