Also, for this entire #MSWL thread, I cannot emphasize enough how I want to see all of these stories especially from marginalized creators. 💖

I’m also a sucker for anything comped to Studio Ghibli in middle grade!

I’m open to more serious topics in mg if they’re executed in a thoughtful and engaging way. #MSWL

In middle grade, I’m always hungry for action, adventure, magic, and humor. It can be fantasy or contemporary, or a little bit of both. Give me your fresh takes on magical school settings or just fun friendship stories filled with hijinks. #MSWL

As for children’s, I’m always open to YA in almost all genres, especially fantasy, contemporary, and thriller. I just want strong concepts and smart MCs with engaging voices that pull me along for the ride and make me want to root for them the entire way. #MSWL

I want to see fun and sweet contemporary romances with high concept hooks in the adult space as well. Think Lily Chu’s The Stand In or Emily Henry’s Book Lovers. I’m probably not the right agent for more serious romance stories. #MSWL

I’d love to see more horror in my inbox. It can be adult (or YA). Not slash and hack bloody horror, but the kind that builds psychological tension in a smart and surprising way. #MSWL

I’m expanding into repping more adult projects in genre fiction. I want to see more cozy fantasy, romantic or not, with low stakes, warmth, humor and whimsy. Basically a hug in book form. #MSWL

It’s #MSWL Day! I’ve always been so bad of coming up with specifics because I really am a reader who likes being surprised and is open to falling in love with a great story, but with that being said here’s some info about general things I’m looking for:

My full #mswl can be found on the agency website but here’s what I’m especially looking for in 2023:

—Adult + YA RomCom that are FUNNY AF *or/and* Adult Romance w a magic/spec twist
—Suspense/Thrillers (we need more queer and POC rep in this category!)
—MG Fantasy! All kinds!

And finally, though this is less specific... I'm looking for a novel that SURPRISES me! #MSWL

Send me your thrillers or mysteries that feel authentic and bring in the experience, culture, and sense-of-place of less-represented perspectives and new voices. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I represent authors in the Adult, YA, and crossover SFF space. I am always looking for sharp writing, punchy characters, and big emotions. ☺️ Query me!

Having lived in Japan on and off for four years, I would love to find a novel, any genre, having to do with Japan or Japanese culture. Loved Tokyo Ever After, by Emiko Jean, and Fault Lines, by Emily Etani. #MSWL

For #MSWL Day, here are some of the things I'd most love to see in my Query Manager:

Would love to find Extraordinary Attorney Woo in book form, adult or YA.

It's #MSWL day! Here's my latest wish list. 📚

It's #MSWL day today and mine's a little dusty, but currently seeking surprising and fun mainstream novels and mystery/thrillers with iconic women at the forefront!

I’d love to see a VIDA in the Rom Com genre. And a Romantasy with Spanglish peppered in the text. Or a grittier, less polished BOLD TYPE! #MSWL
