Second, I'm in dire need of more SFF across age groups. Please send me your ✨️ magical ✨️ manuscripts!

First and perhaps most notably: I'm ready for an October full of spooky stories! 👻

From the weird to the haunted to the monstrous, I'm looking to be unsettled!

#mswl

With only a few months left in the year, I thought it was time to update my #MSWL !

I'm not closing to any genres, but I'm eager to acquire more romance and genre fiction. It's where I've been drawn in my personal reading, and I would love my agent list to reflect those books that have drawn me in!

I'm especially interested in queer stories with POC protagonists🤎

"I am seeking horror in the vein of an A24 film."

"I love stories that explore complex interpersonal relationships, like THE RACHEL INCIDENT, DAISY JONES AND THE SIX, and SHARK HEART."

#MSWL I’m still really hoping to find my first author/illustrator. See my wish list for more of what I look for in art styles. I’m open to picture books and graphic novels. While I’m open to any kind of story, I’d love a little fantastical whimsy.

#MSWL A relationship dynamic with Jack and Kim vibes from “Kickin' It.” Bonus if it’s an MG crush/first love story. If you know, you know.

#MSWL A middle grade mystery. It could be a cozy mystery and/or something with “The Naturals” vibes for a younger reader. Standalone or standalone with series potential preferred.

#MSWL A YA contemporary with new Deb Caletti books vibes.

#MSWL I’d really love a YA thriller/mystery in the vein of Angeline Boulley.

#MSWL I love “The Apothecary Diaries” and would love something similar. Think June Hur—a historical mystery with a slow burn romance, preferably in an underrepresented location and culture.

#MSWL A YA that encapsulates the song “Who I’d Be” from Shrek the Musical. But specifically the Rachel Zegler version.

Happy October! I wanted to share my #MSWL link again. SFA’s guidelines are below. This is also the start of a thread of specific wish list items I’d love to see in my inbox that I’ll add to when I think of other ideas.

"I'm always interested in epic fantasy with big worldbuilding, high stakes, and characters to get invested in."

Still looking for great space non-fiction for all ages, but particularly middle grade. NASA history is one of my adult obsessions and with Artemis launching next year, I want to inspire the next gen of astronauts and flight controllers. #mswl

I am very behind on my queries and requested material reading, so I'm going to close to queries at the end of the week for a short time until I'm caught up. Feel free to query in the meantime.
