still craving historical mysteries & historical romances with protagonists of colour! #mswl

Agents, I am starving for something ROMANTIC. Lush writing, big emotions, pining, a love-conquers-all mood: I want to fall in love! #mswl

Since I'm not feeling poetic today, I'll just bluntly say I want a delicious, dramatic, feverish gothic love story. No powerless women trapped in attics please. Thanks! #MSWL

Been on the hunt for author-illustrators to bring to Knopf who have fresh stories to tell and diverse styles. New perspectives, art that makes my heart sing, irresistible characters. This is the top of my vision board for 2020. Universe - and agents - let’s make it happen! #mswl

A League of Their Own + LGBTQA + esport competitions = a fun, spunky contemporary YA that I would really like to read. #MSWL

Kinda random #mswl but I’d love a book about a wet nurse... also always on the lookout for midwife stories.
