Been watching everyone update their #MSWL for the new year and tbh...I looked at mine and updated a few new favorites, but my core wants and whims still stand true for now. I'm sure more whims will pop up sometime this year, and I'll adjust as they come!

Hello and happy 2022! Let's start with a nice broad #MSWL for the year: I'm taking on new #YAfiction titles for @vulpine_press. I have a particular love of YA fantasy, sci-fi and historical fiction, but am open to all queries. #amquerying #amwriting #WritingCommunity

This great @annehelen interview with activist Ragen Chastain (@danceswithfat) reminds me of a #MSWL: I'd love to do a picture book about fatness and body positivity with a BIPOC team. If you have a MS, hit me up! annehelen.substack.com/p/i-had-been-h…

I have a soft spot for grounded stories with touches of speculative fiction, cheeky, self-aware humor, and elevated horror.

I am *not* the right editor for mss that contain sexual violence, stalking, or predatory behavior, or picture books with animal characters.

MIDDLE GRADE:
--Queer coming of age with strong friendships and maybe first love
--High-spirited adventures, realistic OR fantasy
--Realistic fiction about a character dealing with mental health difficulties and finding a light at the end of the tunnel

YOUNG ADULT:

Hi, agent friends :) It's about that time: New Year, New #MSWL 📚✒️

I edit picture books, middle grade novels, and YA novels/nf, as well as select graphic novels across genres.

I prioritize intersectional stories that center BIPOC characters & their unique, varied experiences.

New Year New #MSWL Me! Looking for:
✨Historical fiction featuring strong women and grounded Lost Apothecary mystic vibes 🔮
✨Quirky, accidental (or not so?) murders a la Only Murders in the Building 🔪
