There's a lot of tidy feel-good fantasy being published right now, and a lot of Glorious Revolution fantasy, and I'm not seeking either of those! I'm way more interested in the people running out into the snow in pajamas to film ICE, or getting thousands of whistles printed & shipped.

I’m a big David Cronenberg girlie, so I’m always on the lookout for body horror and/or weird psychosexual horror. Gimme that freaky shit ala CRASH, THE CELL, or HELLRAISER and POSSESSION. I’m also down for thrillers ala BASIC INSTINCT #MSWL

By "surreal," I mainly mean books that feel like SFF but technically aren't-- I'd love a project that takes place on a reality TV set, or largely on the internet, regardless of whether it has other speculative elements. AMATKA is an all-time favorite book.

My dream project would be MILDRED, a biography of Pope Leo's mother. (I'm generally fascinated by the Catholic Church, which I find to be both gothic and life-giving.) A favorite book is Skinfolk by Matthew Pratt Guterl.

I am especially looking for essay collections and cultural criticism that combat MAGA and AI culture by inviting readers to wonder, dream, and build a culture of encounter. At a time of scale, spectacle, and predictability, I like stories that are quiet, surprising, strange, and unruly. #MSWL

Hello Writers! I am a new agent at Hyponymous Literary, looking for manuscripts that ask questions and show deep curiosity about their subject. I admire writers who make space for tension and who see the texture in the world, including in other people. #MSWL

#MSWL Adult-only paranormal & urban fantasy with or without romance, please. Slow burn with heart-pounding tension is a major plus! Or brotherhood/sisterhood-type group who would destroy the world if you hurt one of them. Love found families, too. More at

It's #MSWL Day! As always, I'm looking for speculative and surreal fiction for adults, and I like it smart, fun, and weird.

Right now, I'm especially in the mood for:

- well-researched historical settings
- classic-mystery structures
- books with a coherent moral/political point of view

Happy #MSWL Day! I’m an acquiring editor for Entangled. For both YA and Adult, I’m actively seeking commercial / high-concept stories. I’m open to most genres as long as there’s a strong romantic element.

#MSWL Non-Western mythology and folklore! Greek mythology gets a lot of attention, and I’d love to find stories that shine a light on folklore and mythology from different parts of the world
