Where are you, today's Nora Ephron? I'm wishing for a narrative non-fiction project (memoir/essays) that tackles what women are facing today, written with wit and humor and profound insight. I want to feel like I'm talking to my smartest best friend. #MSWL

Agents, I also have a much longer doc of #mswl + recent favorite reads -- email me!

Climate change is THE issue of our time, but how can we deliver it in an escapist read? If you know, send it my way! #MSWL

I love a closed set. Think MAZE RUNNER and WILDER GIRLS. Stories with with an exciting, creepy, high-stakes setting that drives plot. (And I know the perfect editor to send this to...LOL) #MSWL

Same #MSWL

send me a dark, twisty, literary thriller, YA or adult - a complicated narrator that i hate to love or love to hate. i'm a gigantic kate morton fan and would l-o-v-e that kind of dual timeline sweeping generational mystery. please. seriously. PLEASE. #MSWL

Fantasy, but make it fresh: unique settings, unusual formats, underrepresented mythology, magical realism, paranormal (yes, paranormal!). I've seen a lot of queries comping to GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE and MY LADY JANE. Keep 'em coming! #MSWL

Deliver me LGBT+ YA stories that leave the reader joyful. Plots that are fun, invigorating, and clever. I'd love to read an LGBT love or friendship story that's incredibly well written and makes me feel HAPPY afterward. #MSWL

Oh hell yes #mswl

Contemporary YA! Especially commercial and high concept YA that can be pitched as x meets y. Especially especially a rom com. The next TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE, a younger RED, WHITE, & ROYAL BLUE, etc. Diverse voices!

I'd love to see supernatural & ghost stories, adult or YA. Bring on the eery, haunting, or Gothic. #MSWL

Please send me the humorous MG where the main character's voice is like Mitch Hedberg!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 #MSWL

i'm a sucker for a good family story, a good friendship story, and of course some good romance, too, but it's okay if that's not front and center. i didn't date until i was in college, so i know there's more to being a teen than romance! #MSWL

I'm super in the mood for more cozy mysteries, especially those with paranormal or historical elements, and/or queer protagonists. #MSWL

I would love a YA love story with the meet cute of WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI and Black main characters who have the celebratory feeling of Beyonce headlining Coachella. #MSWL

but to try and be at least remotely helpful (!) i'm always on the lookout for new YA of all stripes, though i have a forever love of contemporary - a fresh take on an every day idea, a twist i haven't seen before, a tearjerker (ideally of the happy kind, but i'll take both) #MSWL

Can you write a great ensemble? Victoria Schwab and Leigh Bardugo are the masters, and I will forever be looking for talent who can write a group dynamic. If Jessica Cluess's HOUSE OF DRAGONS were out, I'd point you to that as a great example. (Look for it in May 2020!) #MSWL

A give-for-graduation inspirational picture book #mswl

A high-concept, adorable and swoony YA romance, especially featuring POC characters #mswl

Have you read WORDS ON BATHROOM WALLS? A journal to the main character's therapist had me hooked from the first page! I love when author's really think about structure and PoV. Letters and journals can be so revealing. 💌 #MSWL
