a lot more Upmarket Women's Fiction/Book Club Fiction and Adult Mystery/Thriller from queer folks and BIPOC women

Begging for books that both have Something to Say and are extremely addictive/fun/compulsive. (I have many books like this, but this is as close to an agent brand as I have) #mswl

Late to the #MSWL party but all of you querying authors out there, I'm looking for something in the #Adult #nonfiction genre. Specifically, I want to laugh. So if you have any humor-based proposals out there, I'd like to see them! I will open my QM link from 2/13-2/17 ONLY, so be quick. :)

#mswl Hungry for adult, NA, and YA. Genres. Send me your romcoms, sweet, steamy or dark romances. Favorite tropes: enemies to lovers, slow burn, sports heroes, forced proximity, mistaken identity, fake dating, tortured hero, etc.

For Adult, some of the same. Nothing too self-serious. I love a fun concept with a strong voice. Thinking of THURSDAY MURDER CLUB or FINLEY DONOVAN as a good example. I'm up for SFF but more accessible and commercial. Or cozy!

MG, YA or adult, I'm always looking for high-concept, commercial reads. Great plots and hooks. Strong voices and characters in those well-drawn worlds and situations. I'm up for some genre blending. A rom-com in a dystopian world? Agatha Christie in space? Murder mystery and dragons? Do it.

Keeping in the theme, I'd love a horror (YA or Adult) like YELLOWJACKETS that's as much about the speculative element as the interpersonal tension

It's #MSWL day! I represent adult SF, fantasy, and horror; also open to mainstream fiction with genre elements, or a deeply surreal/speculative flavor. This year, I hope to expand into romance and mystery, esp. with speculative elements. I like books to be smart, fun, and weird.
