starting w the 1 exception (things i used to want that no longer fit my #mswl & what i'm looking for instead): i've been thinking a lot about what i'd like to see more of in YA, and while it saddens me a bit, i'm not the right person for YA sci fi + 2nd world fantasy anymore 😔

Happy to announce I’m reopened to queries! Check my #MSWL for what’s on my priority list but sneak peak: give me lots of romcom, steamy romance, psych thrillers, eerie horror, soft to medium fantasy, dark academia & space! 🫶🏻

#WritingCommunity #amquerying #amediting

first though: this is an update, not meant to completely replace prev #mswl asks (with one exception, which i'll flag). please don't self-disqualify if your project does not fit exactly into these asks! it's just a list of things i'm particularly keen on at this moment.

friends! next week is the last one of jan (finally . . . this month was a y e a r), which means my querybox will be open for the first time in 2025, and i figured it's a good time for a #mswl update in case folks in #amquerying are curious 🧵

#MSWL for a book that comps to Justine Pucella Winans's books.

i’m in the mood to read some literary & upmarket fiction about perimenopause (specific, i know) make it sexy and funny and a little fucked up and i’m there 😏 #mswl #amquerying

WWII gets a lot of love, but we want untold eras and hidden histories. Historical fiction that spotlights overlooked perspectives or extraordinary moments? We’re hooked. 🕰️ #MSWL

a little Monday morning #mswl for you all: I would love to see some literary-leaning 🩸🌼 cottagegore 🌼🩸 in my submissions! give me fields of flowers growing over the bones of the dead, brutal murders set to soft sunshine, cannibalism and cinnamon-apple tarts----

I listened to WE SOLVE MURDERS by @richardosman1 .bsky.social, narrated by Nicola Walker.

I honestly adored it. Loved it more than TMC. I'd love to rep something like it but by a queer/bipoc/disabled author.

Someone must've boosted the literary agents starter pack again because my follows are blowing up, so here's my
#MSWL : www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ro...

TL;DR: Send me literary & upmarket adult fiction and narrative nonfiction; closed to kidlit (inc YA) and unlikely to sign SFF right now

Here is my updated #MSWL for winter 2025. I will be opening back up to unsolicited queries at the end of the month. If I’ve requested materials from you please send me a DM for my query link.

#MSWL Here’s what I’m looking for right now!
