things I’ve been dying to see in my inbox #MSWL

- unapologetic female protagonists
- revenge stories
- retellings with a twist
- mythology, meddling gods
- smart mystery thrillers
- spooky middle grade
- royals!!

Not for me…
- horror or ghost stories
- terminal illness
- parent loss as central plot point
- Youtuber, vlogger, social media
- No PB subs at this time!

More in YA…
- edge-of-your-seat mysteries
- character-driven multi-generation stories
- smart, funny, emotional characters in the upper YA space like Fangirl or Emergency Contact

In YA…
- hooky, heart-fluttering romance with adorable meet cutes
- genre bending, alt history, dystopia that challenge social norms
- blurring lines b/w heroes and villains
- royal families and political intrigue

In MG…
- MAGIC!!!
- Percy Jackson-esque adventure
- Humor and warmth
- Complex family dynamics/ sibling relationships

Agented subs only! And I’m only accepting YA and MG at this time:)

I’m looking for…
- BIPOC centred stories full of joy, heart and adventure
- found family
- atmospheric writing
- layered storytelling
- Anything and everything set in the modern day South

AGENTS!! Exciting news – I’m open to submission and would love to get to know you🤩🤩 Please reach out via email if you’d like to connect and/or set up virtual coffee. ESPECIALLY junior-level folks!!
