Just in case anyone was wondering…I’d love to see some non-romance YA in my inbox. #MSWL

My sophomore in HS kid loathes any romance in books/tv etc and as a YA AGENT it can still be hard to find books for her without romance elements. I welcome them in my subs whether it’s ACE rep or just didn’t call for romance! #mswl

Boosting this to see where it goes. I’m very interested in seeing plus-size/fat MCs in my inbox when I reopen to queries at the end of the month. #MSWL

Jenny isn’t on Twitter but I wanted to share that she’s open to queries! You can query her and find more about the founder of our agency on our website. Happy querying!
