"With memoir, I love a story that feels like I'm reading a collection of essays. @JamesTateHill 's BLIND MAN'S BLUFF and
@m_scribe 's WHAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT, an anthology of essays are two books I worked on that fit in that space."

"Send me YA nonfiction: memoir, essay collections, you name it. QUEER, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE is probably my favorite YA nonfiction title in recent memory, and a great example of what I'd like to see."

"For romance, while different heat levels work for different books, please don't be afraid that something is too low or too high heat – I want it all."

"Would love to see more psychological horror in my query inbox—especially anything with a remote location (“abandoned” anything is a major selling point for me!), a haunted house (house as character!), and/or a final girl."

"I'm on the lookout for mystery thrillers that explore a 'true crime' in their fictional world. Who does it impact, and how? What is justice? Think A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDERING, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, and JACKAL."

"Send me Gothic fiction with possibly a modern storyline, too (like MEXICAN GOTHIC and THE LITTLE STRANGER)."

"I want stories that celebrate neurodiversity, from authors who are themselves neurodivergent, both in fiction and nonfiction, middle grade, young adult, and adult."

"If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight."

"I'm looking for sports romance, especially if it examines athletes/fans and their relationship to sport, like FROM LUKOV WITH LOVE by Mariana Zapata."

“Commerical fiction I loved (from the past year or two): SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE, THIS TIME TOMORROW, and THE GUNCLE.”

"I'm interested in pop culture histories in the vein of SLAYING THE DRAGON: A SECRET HISTORY OF DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS, and PAPER CRUSH: THE TOTALLY RADICAL HISTORY OF '80s AND '90s TEEN FICTION."

"Deep dives into specific events and people fascinate me, such as THE RADIUM GIRLS: THE DARK STORY OF AMERICA'S SHINING WOMEN, THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS, and THE VINYL FRONTIER: THE STORY OF NASA'S INTERSTELLAR MIXTAPE."

"I like a strong romance plotline in a speculative setting like THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY by Megan Bannen, and OCEAN'S ECHO by Everina Maxwell."

"I'm hungry for horror that leans on eerie, atmospheric, and unsettling. MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia will forever be a favorite in this space. I don't mind gore, but I'm typically not drawn to it."

"Send me contemporary fiction that gets a little weird, like the virgin birth of SMALL PLEASURES, the animal illness of SHARK HEART, and the eerie horror of OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA."

"I'm interested in upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues – THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING are two of my all-time favourite books."
