I’m open to queries through the 7th!

I am on the hunt for mysteries/thrillers, gothic horror, and intricate, inventive fantasy!

I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer writers.

I'm excited to announce I've found my agenting niche! Moving forward, I'll only be repping KidLit: PB, MG, YA, and some NA. I'm open for MG only starting in September. #amquerying I'll drop my #mswl in the comments!

"The human brain is an endless source of fascination. I'd welcome nonfiction titles exploring the nexus between neuroscience and other fields, e.g., neuropsychology, neurosociology, neuropharmacology, neuronutrition, etc."

The banter in the manuscript I just devoured 🔥🔥🔥 please send more of that my way #mswl

Lastly, I'd love to see books featuring characters with celiac disease (which I have)--especially in the rom-com space. How does one navigate kissing on a first date when your partner has had gluten? This also goes for other autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses. #MSWL

I'm always on the hunt for deeply romantic stories with a focus on a continuously building chemistry. #MSWL

Along the same lines, I'd love to see shorter SFF (under 100K words). #MSWL

I'd like to see more standalone fantasy. Not standalone with series potential. A true standalone. #MSWL

I am looking for escapist, high concept projects. It needs to have a really strong hook to differentiate itself in today's crowded market. #MSWL

Across the board, I'd like to see more funny books, but especially in picture book and middle grade. #MSWL

At the top of my wishlist is book about trans people by trans authors #MSWL

I'm reopening to #queries on Friday for a week, so I'm going to repost a #MSWL thread from Bluesky over here!

"Nonfiction I loved (from the past year or two): VULTURE CAPITALISM, STOLEN FOCUS, WINTERING, PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY, HOW TO RAISE A FEMINIST SON, POVERTY BY AMERICA, FOUR THOUSAND WEEKS, HOW TO DO NOTHING."

"I'm on the hunt for psychological horror with a fun, quirky, or weird twist."

"I'm looking for nonfiction topics for which the author can make me passionate about the topic through their storytelling."

"I am dreaming of nature nonfiction and nature-laced memoirs that are rooted in the land, that give me hope, but don’t shy away from why we need that hope. Nature-driven books that marry science with storytelling."
