The pitch: YA mystery anthology narrated by the witnesses/suspects written by all different authors in different styles. BLACKOUT meets “The Afterparty.” #MSWL

I'm looking for a sizzling hot UF or paranormal that's 75K or under. Bonus points if it has two or more types of paranormals. If you have one, please send it my way! #MSWL

New York Times Opinion @nytopinion

"Laziness is more than the absence or avoidance of work; it’s also the enjoyment of lazing in the sun, or in another’s arms," writes Elliot Kukla, a rabbi who provides spiritual care to people who are grieving, dying, ill or disabled. nyti.ms/3GgtBgH

“Shh, Abba,” he says. “Hills don’t move or talk . . . they just lie still and grow things.”

This. This is #MSWL. Give me a lazy book, that doesn’t demand hard work or trying. Give me a book about how it’s okay to take breaks.

So, agents and authors, I am closing to submissions on March 1 to allow time to review everything before I go on leave. If you have plans to query me, please get your submission in and direct your query to me (@fluxbooks or @jollyfishpress) before the deadline.

As far as my #mswl goes, right now I’m looking for mostly character-driven YA with a killer voice featuring one or more of these things:

-intersectional feminist and environmentally conscious themes
-activism
-LGBTQIA+ characters (esp. trans, bisexual, and asexual youth)

Agents! I’m excited to talk to you. I love contemporary stories of all kinds with characters that jump off the page. While I’ll look at (almost) everything, I’m especially leaning into MG and YA. Let’s chat! #mswl

I've also always loved the breaking down nostalgia and the journey of pushing back and breaking out of Pleasantville and The Truman Show. I'd love those themes in a series, too. #MSWL
