Sometimes dreams come true 💙📚

So excited to join the lovely team at WLA as an agent!

Oooh, I forgot to add! I'd really love a book set in the 00s or 90s. Probably a classic romcom, but I'd also be open to general women's fiction that was an exploration of friendships and what it meant to be a young woman at that time. Toxic relationships/terrible fashion etc!

For a reminder of my #mswl and some words of wisdom for those of you on their publishing journeys, I've added a profile on

Escapism is a really key aspect right now too. We are all dealing with a world in turmoil and it's pushed me away from reading the super bleak and into the more uplifting/HEA reading. If you have that in book-form, please send it my way! #mswl

Books with really strong settings regardless of genre are a must for me!

Whether its a romcom somewhere gorgeous, a crime novel where the setting is a direct external threat, or just a chance to experience somewhere I've never been before... I love armchair travel! #mswl

I'd love some horror too! I have recently listened to NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT and I loved it. I am looking for supernatural elements, creepy folklore and amazing atmospheric settings rather than tons of blood/gore. #mswl

I'm still desperately looking for something like THREE HOURS by Rosamund Lupton, both in sense of themes (issues driven suspense) and execution. I just couldn't put that book down and it left me with all kinds of emotions.

Something like that please! #mswl

I am often sent the more closed door romance novels (which I do love!) but I'd love to see stuff with some higher spice levels 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I still need great plot, pacing and characterisation alongside it (obviously)! I love Emily Henry, Tessa Bailey and Talia Hibbert as some inspo

Happy Monday! I'm updating my submissions wish list...

Now this comes with the usual caveat that I am open to all of the things listed on my agent page, and these are just the things I'm particularly hankering for at the mo...

In my pursuit of a graphic novel for a reluctant middle grade reader I realized that there is a shortage of MG horror graphic novels that are RECENT, so with that in mind when I reopen to queries I want that - preferably with an illustrator already attached. Okay, bye! #MSWL

I definitely want this type of romance in my inbox the next time I open for submissions. #MSWL

All of my (published) reads this year have been SO fun and delightful and different! Just finished "Everyone on this Train..." and omg it is PERFECTION. Total #mswl . I beg you to send me a manuscript that's a comp to this. Please. I'm on my knees.

I'm very open to #diversity of every kind. It's such a given in my house (with gay kids), and my sales list is very diverse, so I didn't really think about specifying that. I'm sorry for any confusion.

YES!! THIS!!! Cardigan is so damn smart, and this is very reflective of the MG trends and what kids are wanting. And as someone who has read creepypasta, played FNAF and Poppy playtime, I would love to read something like this in my inbox. 🥰 #MSWL
