"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."

I also have a more detailed list on manuscriptwishlist.com, and update my instagram #mswl highlight reel with things that pop up throughout the year.

As always, I’m looking for projects in the MG, YA, and Adult fiction space. #mswl

Hello 2026! As we get closer to the new year—and my query inbox reopening—it’s time for me to update what I’m looking for. I saw a lot of fabulous projects in 2025 (but more on that later), and I’m excited about what I might find in 2026. #mswl

"In adult fiction, I'm seeking horrors about religious deconstruction and cults."

"I am seeking wilderness settings in any genre, especially if the setting has a really meaning to the plot or stakes."

“I'd like proposals for single-topic personal development books. Ex: ALL THE GOLD STARS, THE PERFECTIONIST’S GUIDE TO LOSING CONTROL, HOW TO DO NOTHING, REST IS RESISTANCE.”
