#mswl in adult fiction, i'd love to see:

Fiction centered around spaces and communities.

Late-bloomers (particularly autists) experiencing their first love.

Hooky romcoms with unique premises and queer and/or BIPOC protagonists.

‘Weird girl’ lit, but from voices less represented in this genre.

#mswl i'm also looking for proposals about the creation of popular TV shows or films. Particularly of interest would be Succession, Heated Rivalry, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, or 30 Rock. I’d love something that delves into the rise of K-dramas and/or K-pop in international markets.

#mswl in nonfiction, i am looking for all things FANDOM. would love something in the vein of EVERYTHING I GET FROM YOU, and anything that dives into online fan culture, fanfic, the history of tumblr, and/or the Golden Age of YouTube Vloggers in the mid-2010s.

#mswl as i reopen to queries this next time, i'll be focusing on building out my nonfiction and more commercial/upmarket adult lists -- but will still be open to all my usual categories.

The First Frost (Chinese IP). That being said, I have quite a few dream projects, but I will stick to one:
Two Black CEO bestfriends that fall in love at the peak of their careers, after having watched each other grow and fall. I would love to see a RICH x RICH love story between two + #MSWL

Fated Hearts (Chinese Drama), Love in Nirvana (Chinese Drama). On the other hand, I really love romance that is soft, adoring, gentle, steady, reliable, loyal, parallel, and passionate. So, like A Walk to Remember, Record of Youth (korean Drama), or The Rational Life (Chinese Drama),+

I am a lover of highly intelligent characters. I adore characters that are witty, quick, and use metacognition quite often. I also love characters with high morals and clear standards, yet to the quick observers they seem a bit grey. So, think of shows like Sherlock, Doctor Who, +

It's #MSWL Day!! I am an agent for ladderbird.bsky.social!
Just to give some insight on me: I am looking for writers that value showing BIPOCs in our full-spectrum- our lows and our highs. I love writing that is designed to show the most natural state of a community and its culture. +

Ok I lied there’s one more! #MSWL

I can’t help but love a big-hearted rom-com that takes me on a rollercoaster of emotions. Emily Henry and Talia Hibbert are all time faves.

One more #MSWL day!

I am on the hunt for fantasy! YA/NA/adult. Grounded worldbuilding, complex characters, propulsive plot. Sweep me away!

Some recent favorite reads have been:
THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH by Rachel Gillig
THE MAID AND THE CROCODILE by Jordan Ifueko
THE RAVEN SCHOLAR by Antonia Hodgson

I’d love fiction with magical realism, historical fiction, contemporary fantasy, romance/romcoms, epic/high fantasy, LitRPG, mystery, or sci‑fi. Blend them? Great. Fantasy + mystery? Great. Magical realism + historical? Great. Set in Latin America, Africa, Asia, or about diaspora lives? Great #MSWL

#MSWL I gravitate towards commercial writing and writing with an upmarket bend. I’m specifically prioritizing BIPOC authors and stories, as well as LGBTQ authors and stories.

Send me all your messy relationships, intense yearning, eat the rich, good for her stories!
