MG, YA or adult, I'm always looking for high-concept, commercial reads. Great plots and hooks. Strong voices and characters in those well-drawn worlds and situations. I'm up for some genre blending. A rom-com in a dystopian world? Agatha Christie in space? Murder mystery and dragons? Do it.

I haven't done an #MSWL day in a hot minute. I'm not open to queries just yet. Probably March? But my general categories don't tend to change that much... I updated my page here anyway:

As a reminder, I accept queries ONLY via QM:

I'm also looking for something truly Romantic, capital R. Sweep me off my feet w/ characters I can fall in love with - I like an asshole character as much as the next gal, but I also love love. Regency, Fantasy, just no contemporary. Something like LADY FOR A DUKE or A STRANGE AND STUBBORN ENDURANCE

Keeping in the theme, I'd love a horror (YA or Adult) like YELLOWJACKETS that's as much about the speculative element as the interpersonal tension

I just watched BOTTOMS and, unfortunately, it's going to be my personality for a few months. I'd love a YA with that level of funny, young voice and tropes taken to absurdist extremes.

Mystery! Anything from gentile POIROT and MISS FISHER to gritty supernaturally tinged TRUE DETECTIVE: NIGHT COUNTRY. I'd love a sleuth I can sink my teeth into and I'm really hungry in this space

Happy #MSWL day! Bumping my longer MSWL list here, but I'll also add in a few things I'm looking for in particular!

Totally random, but an MG with bird or animal characters having to perform a banishment or exorcism ritual would be a total #MSWL for me. Wind in the Willows but horror? How amazing would that be. That’s the kinda thing I wanna see for real.

Hello and a wonderful #MSWL day to you!

#MSWL you know what I'd really, really love? A non-didactic, colorful, highly illustrated digital media literacy guide for kids. Please someone submit this to me.

Anyone writing a horror/thriller romance? #MSWL

Still searching for a tennis rom-com! #MSWL

Niche #mswl dream projects: OUTERBANKS X GLASS ONION within small towns with a young cast of characters solving mysteries and riddles.

Niche #mswl dream projects: I'd love a girl in the world of competitive online gaming. YA or NA

Mystery: I’m looking for feel-good mysteries that have a cozy vibe but also have some grit to them. Tightly wound mysteries with a fun hook! Also love a sense of community and interesting cast of characters who feel like real people.

Some niche #MSWL dream projects: CRYPTIDS. YA fiction with some mystery, thriller, maybe even horror. Give me the eery Appalachia stories or a chupacabra in Puerto Rico. If you have cryptids, I want to see it.

You can find my (still valid!) #MSWL here:

Still looking for a murder mystery set in space or with a touch of magic that is fun and inclusive! #MSWL
