Spent my weekend reading everything by Tessa Bailey I could get my hands on, and now I'm desperate for a fantasy romance (sans fae) with that perfect ratio of steam to plot #MSWL

these would eat as book covers for a psychological thriller about a group of ballerinas competing against each other for the titular lead of their prestigious ballet school’s grand performance. black swan with sapphics, murder, and lots of pink and tulle. pic.twitter.com/2yD1pioXFe

I’d LOVE to connect/catch up with agents and other publishing folks, especially assistants and editors, so please shoot me an email/DM and we can set something up!

My wishlist in a nutshell: diaspora, liminal spaces, counterintuitive, memoir w/ reportage, food, social horror, mythology, light speculative, NYC stories, historical, contemporary, multigenerational. And always, always prioritizing intersectional work from marginalized writers.

okay friends a request,

does anyone know of any good pandora's box retelling? I'm really craving a good retelling of pandoras myth! Any age category is chill :)

I can’t think of one but I WANT one #MSWL

Friendship

Only accept agented manuscripts, FYI. All these #MSWL ramblings are just me thinking out loud... especially if it helps inspire a writer (even if I never see it) 😁

And is there something around Día de Muertos and God/faith that would make for a good kids book? #MSWL

· 15 Mar 2022

Random #MSWL... a kids book about Mardi Gras and its connection to Lent/preparing for Lent.

There's so much to love about #TurningRed but one of the many things it does well is explore puberty for girls in a really engaging way. I desperately want to see this in the MG space, give me books that deal with puberty for girls in all its awkward and funny ways #MSWL
