Just gently cried my way through the end of Alice Hoffman’s The Red Garden, and I’d very much love a multi-generational MG or YA novel that lovingly explores the ties that bind us to our ancestors and our homes. And, well, a little magic never hurts ✨ #MSWL

The more books I acquire, the more I realize that my brand is 100% “friendship is magic.” Give me your spooky, magical romps with strong relationships! #MSWL

I really just want to work on a graphic novel about magic and friendship and #LatinX culture and identity and laughs for days #MSWL

Okay, folks! I’ve entered my Thirties and I am ready to acquire all of the books! Agents, if you’ve got any magical realism, dark humor, own voices, STEAM-based books, multicultural contemporary stories, or anything rooted in folklore, I’m your gal! #MSWL

Another deeply-desired #mswl involves magical realism + bicultural characters negotiating their identities, MG or YA
