...but one thing i do accept is that theres much more i can do to work towards a better world for BIPOC creators & young readers.

authors of color are writing some of the most incredible books right now, & i can't wait to see even more of them in my inbox! now onto my #mswl ☺️

...& being more conscious, purposeful, & selective in how i spend my time as an editor & the voices & stories i choose to uplift.

it took me a long time to accept the fact that i have any kind of power to affect change in this world/industry (bc really who am i??)...

#mswl

...& my fear of turning off agents is why i've hesitated until now to state this outright. but publishing is broken, & that inequity disproportionately affects authors of color. so i'm doing what i can to work towards a more equitable system for BIPOC creators...

#mswl

first, i want to say that my lists at both RRP/disney-hyperion are focused on 📚 from BIPOC creators that center BIPOC voices--& these are the only stories i'll be acquiring. i'm very conscious of the fact that some may see this as me drawing an unfair line in the sand...

#mswl

agents! while my inbox is overflowing with amazing MG subs right now, my list is predominantly YA & i would love to see more of it! so here is an updated YA #mswl so you can PLZ SEND ME MORE YA💕📚

as a reminder i acquire YA for both disney-hyperion & #rickriordanpresents!

Got a story that straddles the line between the frightening and the erotic? I wanna see it. Query me with your horror romances! #mswl

#MSWL You know that fave YA book you couldn't put down? The one that kept you up all night on the edge of your bed, eyes glued to the page even though you knew you had to work in a few hours?

I want you to send me the sexy adult version of THAT! ;)

“I really love literary fiction that takes you into small worlds and communities where I'm an outsider. A glimpse inside a complex family, or a workplace.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Oh hey, I did an interview over on Literary Rambles if you'd like to find out more about me!: literaryrambles.com/2021/10/agent-… #MSWL (Thanks bunches, @NatalieIAguirre!)

#MSWL I'm in the mood for some quirky scifi. I'm still sad over the quirky scifi project that got away! I want some rebound quirky scifi please.

It's happenings!! I'm opening to queries next Monday! To celebrate, I'm chatting with my client @s_t_gibson, who is also an agent. We will be talking about our #mswl and answering #askagent questions.
