I love clever, quirky formats! Have a book that breaks the fourth wall like Fleabag? Telling the story at different times through different characters like I’ll Give You the Sun? Have a narrator like Lemony Snicket? Please send it! #MSWL

Devotionals—I’d love to represent more concept-driven devotionals. I represented a knitting devotional called Knit, Pray, Share and loved the specificity of it. Would love to do more devotionals with unique hooks! #MSWL

Very high on my #mswl is a YA romcom or a sweeping YA love story!

Gift books—I represented The Compendium of Magical Beasts, which is all about the anatomy of magical creatures, and would love to represent more quirky gift books like this. #MSWL

I’d like to see more body diversity in submissions across all genres and for all age groups. #MSWL

#MSWL #ownvoices Harlem Renaissance heist novel

#MSWL Funny picture books in the vein of Mo Willems.

#MSWL - in middle grade, I am dying for some fun, fresh takes on monsters.

For YA, I love mysteries, historical, contemporary, magical realism, psychological/literary horror, contemporary w/ a very light speculative touch. I love funny books, I love serious books. #MSWL

#MSWL - in YA, I'd love something really fun and soapy, maybe with a speculative twist, maybe not.

Okay, here’s some #MSWL items, both specific and vague—I REALLY want a queer mermaids book, please and thank you

I rep a few fabulous #scicomm writers and want to continue building my list! 👩‍🔬I’m actively looking for creators who can incorporate real science into fiction or break down nonfiction topics (climate change, space exploration, etc.) and make it interesting for kids. #MSWL #STEM

No matter the time of year, I ALWAYS want to read more stories about witches, ghosts, mermaids, and other magical beings. Spooky and spoopy stories are welcome. 👻🎃 #MSWL

Mystery. MG + YA. I will never forget reading The Dollhouse Murders when I was in fifth grade and having to close the book because I was so scared. I want to work on books that prompt that same level of book-induced fright! Also: I’m obsessed with the Truly Devious series. #MSWL

Atmospheric books. I love a unique atmosphere/strong sense of place in books across the board—to the extent where the setting feels like one of the characters. #MSWL

I love books with a high-concept hook, like THE DEAD QUEEN'S CLUB. #MSWL

Summer camp or job stories set in places like museums, amusement parks, space camp, study abroad programs, out at sea, etc. Gimme all the characters getting into shenanigans in fun new settings! #MSWL

Spooky PBs! 👻🖤✨💀🎃

Ghosts, haunted houses, cobwebs. I would die for a picture book about rusalka.

See How to Make Friends with a Ghost for my spooky book crush, as well as an upcoming picture book called The Ugly Doodles by my client @vwicker2478. #MSWL

Always, always, always looking for diverse historical romance. For example, I think a romance set at Idlewild in the 1930s would be FANTASTIC. #MSWL

Stories with diverse families and/or found families (half and step-siblings, adoption/fostering, single parenting, LGTBQ+, disabled, homeless, etc.) #MSWL
