According to NASA, an underwater volcano nicknamed "Sharkano" has erupted and released a number of mutated volcano sharks, setting them free into the ocean. The sharks had been living and surviving within the volcano in burning hot acidic water. https://twitter.com/CreepyOrg/status/1710270908777001389/photo/1

"In the wellness space, see some of the work I've been doing with Sophie Saint Thomas, specifically her books FINDING YOUR HIGHER SELF and THE LITTLE BOOK OF CBD SELF CARE. I want more like that."

maybe i'm just in my seasonal When Harry Met Sally era but whether it's on the more commercial side or a bit more off-kilter (if you haven't read Happy All The Time then treat yourself), I want your grumpy, on-and-off, quibbling, reluctantly besotted friends/enemies to lovers
Literary Agent
making this a thread of stray #mswl thoughts/updates/niche requests - not such a niche one this time, but despite loving books where people eat each other I also truly do love LOVE, specifically com-heavy-rom coms with a proper Nora Ephron style dryness to them
Literary Agent
Adult: I want romance and mystery! Especially, cozy mystery ✨ Small-town romance, enemies-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, second chance, any romance, I'm here for it!
Literary Agent
Young Adult: I'm actively looking for YA novels, especially contemporary, romance, and mystery/heist. If you have anything contemporary including sports (except for hockey) or food in some way, I'd love to read!
Literary Agent
Middle Grade: I'm open to most genres of Middle Grade, although right now I'm mostly looking for a contemporary MG including sports, and a mystery MG ✨
Literary Agent
Picture Books: I'm always looking for funny picture books, smart humor and puns; also, books full of heart with a strong emotional impact ☀️

#MSWL update! #agent
Hi! I'm getting more queries than usual lately and thought it would be a good time for a wishlist update! ✨ I will be closing to queries in mid-December but will remain open until then!

EPISODE THIRTEEN was a fantastic read; the enhanced audio edition was brilliant. So many #mswl /favorite elements (an epistolary puzzle, a fresh take on hauntings, and the character development is *chef kiss*). I was genuinely frightened & moved to tears, especially by the ending

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
19. Please do not email me your query or use the contact form on my website, where it clearly states not to use it to query me. 🤦🏼♀️ If I’ve asked you to email me your query material, that’s ok, but otherwise, queries must come in via Query Manager.
Literary Agent
18. Three very important elements in opening pages for me are voice, tension, & curiosity! These are a MUST if I’m going to potentially request more material. Less backstory and world building, more scene action & character. Surprise me! Give me something I MUST keep reading for.
Literary Agent
17. I *DO* want to see diversity in my inbox and in the world. *DO* send me LGBTQIA+ stories, diversity in families, etc.
I’m good with swears in books if it’s appropriately used/not overdone. Swearing for the sake of swearing in a 📖 is not my jam. (Even though I’m a swearer!)
Literary Agent
16. My stance on AI: Do NOT send me anything generated by AI. That is not art, it’s a copout. AI is ok to do research but in no way, shape, or form should it be used to “create” a story. Humans do the storytelling; AI steals it. My opinion. 🤷🏼♀️
Literary Agent
15. I’m NOT keen on:
Epic Fantasies
Science Fiction, Space Operas, Robots, etc. I’m not a science-y person
Anything political, incl vaccination debates & Trump-supporters
Gore horror, extreme violence
Erotica—it’s just not my thing
Religious-centred works
Stories over 110K words
Literary Agent
14. (Continued from above):
