Sophisticated MG, by which I mean MG that tackles big things, that plays with form. Think HOLES, THE INQUISITOR’S TALE, or for a film comp, THE IRON GIANT.

In 2025, I would love to sign my first adult non-fiction project. Top of my list is food writing/food memoir. Some recent favorites in this genre:
- CORK DORK
- NATIONAL DISH
- CRYING IN H MART
- KOSHERSOUL

#MSWL I'm closed to queries at the moment, BUT...I will ALWAYS be open to INDIGENOUS VOICES. This is a special passion of mine, yet I don't have a single Native American author or story. If this describes you/your project, PLEASE REACH OUT! I will open a link for any Indigenous creator (fiction).

My whole personality is books but I do like to lie & say there is more to me than that. I also love: pop culture, taylor swift, fashion & sustainability, lattes, stickers, cute stationary, going down a research rabbit hole about something random and objectively unimportant, literally anything mini.

Right now, I’m especially looking for:
📚Smart upmarket & book club fiction
📚 Women’s fic
📚 Horror
📚 Thrillers with a twist
📚 Rom-coms (any spice level)

A snapshot of some genres I don’t rep:
🚫 Kidlit
🚫 SF / F
🚫 Memoirs (but I am open to hybrid memoirs!)

I’m what you’d call a baby agent 🤓 so I’m actively building my client list & looking for more projects in my inbox that would give me brain butterflies ✨You can find my #MSWL linked below with all the deets👇🏼

#MSWL Murder-mystery meets the Dull Club - inspired by this wonderful piece in NY mag

I’m always down for folk religion, cults, and religious deconstruction.

And if you have a book (esp for MG) about swimming/swim team, please send it my way!

Picture Book #MSWL I want to see in the new year:
-spooky adjacent
-weird but with a heart of gold

#MSWL

If you have anything that fits, I'd love to see it. There is so much great children's fiction out rn, it was so hard to choose.

I did miss having somewhere to do #MSWL so I am happy this is an option

#MSWL for thriller procedurals. They're what I want to read right now.

I’ll probably create an updated #MSWL for the new year, but my query inbox reopens on 12/1 for the last time in 2024. Here’s what I’m currently looking for: www.instagram.com/p/C3Qv6eOLch...

I have a lot of *hard* fantasy in YA so I'm still looking for ⤵️

Adult romantasy
Young adult horror, thriller/mystery, & paranormal (I like horror that lends to the aesthetic of horror but w/ whimsy opposed to gore (Wednesday, Beetlejuice, Haunted Mansion, R.L. Stine).

#MSWL

When I reopen to queries next year, I would love to see things like this in my inbox. Fun, a little campy, full of great characters, and of course… a murder! #mswl

Resharing my wishlist 👇🏻

I’m slowly moving to 🦋: @lynnettenovak .bsky.social and 🧵: lynnette_novak. #writingcommunity #amagenting #amquerying #writers #mswl
