#MSWL Adult-only paranormal & urban fantasy with or without romance, please. Slow burn with heart-pounding tension is a major plus! Or brotherhood/sisterhood-type group who would destroy the world if you hurt one of them. Love found families, too. More at

It's #MSWL Day! As always, I'm looking for speculative and surreal fiction for adults, and I like it smart, fun, and weird.

Right now, I'm especially in the mood for:

- well-researched historical settings
- classic-mystery structures
- books with a coherent moral/political point of view

Happy #MSWL Day! I’m an acquiring editor for Entangled. For both YA and Adult, I’m actively seeking commercial / high-concept stories. I’m open to most genres as long as there’s a strong romantic element.

For YA & Adult, I’m looking for grounded fantasy. I’m not typically the one for fantasy-fantasy. I love a “our world but weird/witchy/magical/supernatural.” NINTH HOUSE is one of my all-time favorites (I have a tattoo for it) & I also loved working with S.Isabelle on her debut YA, THE WITCHERY #MSWL

#mswl and in either YA or adult, some of my conceptual 'white whales' include:

Afrofuturism in the vein of Octavia Butler or Rivers Solomon

Zany, (anti-)historical fiction, like My Lady Jane or Glorious Exploits

Anything centered around the 2010s YouTube vlogger era

A K-pop sasaeng thriller (!!)

#mswl in adult fiction, i'd love to see:

Fiction centered around spaces and communities.

Late-bloomers (particularly autists) experiencing their first love.

Hooky romcoms with unique premises and queer and/or BIPOC protagonists.

‘Weird girl’ lit, but from voices less represented in this genre.

One more #MSWL day!

I am on the hunt for fantasy! YA/NA/adult. Grounded worldbuilding, complex characters, propulsive plot. Sweep me away!

Some recent favorite reads have been:

THE MAID AND THE CROCODILE by Jordan Ifueko
THE RAVEN SCHOLAR by Antonia Hodgson

#MSWL More specifically, I'm really hoping to sign an adult SFF book with a disabled protagonist this year, and I'm dying for the next SICK KIDS IN LOVE. I want YA disability romance so, so, so bad!
