Last, but not least, the book of my heart, the one I keep searching for. If you have a GONE GIRL take on Jane Austen's world, WHERE IS IT and why don't I have it yet??

If you write books with a hint of magic or otherworldliness, I wanna see them! Books like THE COTTINGLEY SECRET, THE ESSEX SERPENT, or A SECRET HISTORY OF WITCHES.

In narrative nonfiction, I'd love to see more food-centered books, especially those exploring forgotten aspects of our food history or that look at the intersections of race, feminism, and food. Think THE COOKING GENE or WHAT SHE ATE.

I'm also still looking for that super quirky, modern take on the traditional English village murder mystery.

In mystery, again, I love historicals! Especially those with strong women who kick ass and take names. Think Deanna Raybourn and Sherry Thomas.

In contemporary romance, I am much more likely to fall in love with a book that makes me laugh vs one that makes me cry. I'm not a huge fan of billionaires or motorcycle clubs, so those are probably best sent to other agents who love them.

Now for some specifics! In romance, I am particularly interested in historical romances, and would love to see more diversity in my submissions. Let's see the Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian periods through different eyes.

Who's up for some Friday afternoon #mswl tweets? Here are some specific things I'll be looking for at BookEnds!

As a general reminder, I rep adult romance, mystery, women's, and upmarket fiction, and have a deep and abiding love for historical fiction across all genres. I also rep narrative nonfiction, especially on topics like the literary world, food, material culture, & social history.

#mswl #parkland I work in publishing. I’d be proud to help Shepherd a book (anthology?) of those who want to share their experiences as gun violence survivors in order to push for change and #GunContolNow. Proceeds (incl my commission) could be donated somewhere like @Everytown?

I think the issue of gun violence will have to be faced on many fronts. For those of us who work in the arts, it means depicting guns as tools, rather than as magical artifacts that grant power and charisma. #mswl
