I'm reopening to queries this morning, so in honor of the new year and new platform, it feels like it's time for an updated #MSWL ! (To be clear, any previous wish list claims that I've made still stand, but this represents the tippity-top of my list right now.)

I'm open again! Check out my website for my updated 2025 MSWL! #MSWL

I'll be opening for submissions later this month. Check out my #MSWL in the linktree in my bio! #querying #amquerying #submissions #writers #writingcommunity

Finally, I love historical fiction would be ecstatic to get some in my inbox, especially stories set around the world. Some of my favorites include LOOT by Tania James, HAMNET by Maggie O'Farrell, PACHINKO by Min Jin Lee, and THE NICKEL BOYS by Colson Whitehead #MSWL

I don't think I’m generally a great fit for fantasy, BUT the exception would be something cozy with Studio Ghibli vibes. Cafes! Weird little guys! Girl empowerment! Nature! Cats! Wholesome! Coming-of-age! (Not looking for super complicated world-building or heavy romance/spice) #MSWL

Still figuring out my romance tastes, but if your manuscript has fake relationship, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, or late bloomer tropes, pls send it my way. I also love nerds! Neurodiverse, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ protags/love interests always welcome #MSWL

I’m selective with horror—no gore for gore’s sake. But if you can weave in social commentary like THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS by Stephen Graham Jones or mental health themes like in THE SEPTEMBER HOUSE by Carissa Orlando, I’d love to see those. Fresh perspectives are a must! #MSWL

Tropes and other things I like to see in mysteries/thrillers: spunky girls, amateur detectives, blackmail, dark backstories, old houses, clever twists, libraries, ghosts and the supernatural, locked rooms, #BIPOC and #LGBTQ protagonists, folklore-inspired tales

I would love to see some mysteries, especially whodunits and cozies! If you have a fresh take on the genre please send it my way. Some recent ones I’ve enjoyed are the SUSAN RYELAND series by Anthony Horowitz and HOW TO SOLVE YOUR OWN MURDER by Kristen Perrin #MSWL

Since I’m officially an associate agent, I'm excited to announce that I'm open to queries for the first time! Here is my #MSWL thread with my fiction interests & instructions on how to query me :)

Would love to see more stories like this! #mswl

The Possession of Alba Díaz by Isabel Cañas
The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson

I want characters who are messy right from page one #mswl

Specific #MSWL request: Can somebody pleaaase send me a high-heat romantasy on the kinky side of things? Not dark. Just sex-positive and queer-friendly (gender essentialist language is a big no for me) high-heat in a fantasy/paranormal setting.

The Bluey Episode, Sleepy Time, WRECKS me. If there are any lyrical picture books from #amquerying authors that have the same feel as this particular episode (iykyk), I’d love to send you my direct query link #MSWL . Please feel free to DM me

I know I've only just made a #mswl thread a month ago but given the new year and all I'm tempted to make an ✨aesthetic✨ one – all pretty and shit, get those Canva skills cracking – to cross-post here and on Instagram.
