"I’m interested in love stories that may not fit the definition of romance, such as found family, platonic soulmates, and relationships without a happily ever after."

Something I have been really into lately is Women in business… Like a woman building a construction company or working Solar Energy… I would love a project focused on her building from the ground up… Contemporary Fiction #MSWL

"Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don't read a lot of historical fiction older than that (like FOUR WINDS, OUR WOMAN IN MOSCOW, and Beatriz Williams in general)."

"I want literary and upmarket fiction about contemporary life, queer characters, mental health, friendship, nostalgia, existential dread—anything with 'cool girl' or 'sad girl' vibes."

#mswl more books that made me feel and think the way these did—books that stay with you long after you read them

MG: Last Cuentista, Girl Who Drank the Moon, Inside Out & Back Again
YA: Strange the Dreamer, Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Last Night at the Telegraph Club

"I would love atmospheric and speculative mysteries and thrillers that skew psychological and cerebral with unreliable narrators. Stories where the setting is the main character and characters have full and dynamic backstories!"

*whispers* I will finally be opening for queries after almost a year of being closed. My query inbox will be open June 1st-15th and July 1st-15th. If you’re interested in what I’m looking for, check out my new #MSWL #queryingauthors #litagent

"I want weird YA novels. Ex: WILDER GIRLS by Rory Power, THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END by Adam Silvera, and THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER by Leslye Walton."

I would also love a project that has a modern take on a young Black man’s journey into adulthood. I don’t want a trauma dump story, but a genuine exploration of coming into one’s self. #MSWL

I had an epiphany:
I would love a women’s fiction peace that explored the experience of a BIPOC woman as she moves to another country and builds a life in that country! Not necessarily Eat, Pray, Love - more the beginning of From Scratch.

"I'm fascinated by explorations of fandom and fan culture like IDOL, BURNING."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

I have been rewatching MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, and I love Hal as a dad. #MSWL

"Send me nonfiction by BIPOC food writers."

What is natural writing?:
I am a firm believer in the idea that a writer creates a foundation, and the characters take control of the narrative. So, in the end, the characters take an identity of their own, that isn't controlled by the author's desires or authorial intrusion. #MSWL
