And as an outspoken advocate for greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in media, I am particularly keen to invest in the work of writers and illustrators who have historically been marginalized in American media.

So what do I want? My musts are:
⭐️big bets with high-concept commercial hooks, expert plotting and pacing, & lead-title potential
⭐️upmarket and unforgettable writing/art
⭐️a strong sales hook that can be summed up in an intriguing line or two #MSWL

Third, while I have been and still am @DisneyBooks's biggest graphic novel fan, my list will be leaning much more toward prose this year, and I'm going to be extremely selective about graphic novels; it's probably best to send me just your most targeted-to-me comics.

Second, while my role used to be split about 50/50 between IP and creator-owned work, that percentage has tipped way over toward creator-owned work—so hit me with your best shot!

First off, peep the new pronouns 👀 Studies* show that I will like you more and be 73% more likely to offer if you get them right.

*there have been no studies

What's up, agents, it's 2023 and I'm aiming to acquire more great books this year than ever before! There are some changes to my focus and wishlist so follow along for my 2023 wishlist:

Oh no I have one more for now: Pre-Raphaelite inspired fantasy, sf or horror

Last but not least, fucked up deer. Or really any forest animal that looks normal at first but on second glance there is something not quite right. Why are its eyes so large? What is that hanging from the end of its antlers?

Sentient houses. Haunted, hallowed ground. The feeling that something is watching you from the pages of the book and you simply cannot turn off your light.

Bureaucratic fantasy in the vein of The Goblin Emperor and The Traitor Baru Cormorant

Paladins, warrior nuns, battle monks exploring their faith and call to duty

Pen pal romance. If you have two people falling in love through letters, I am here for it

A scene in a library, bookshop or better yet, a magical bookshop. I love characters that are archivists, librarians, collectors of ancient manuscripts with dead languages only they can read

Raise your hand if you got yanked out of a reading slump and are now standing in 2023 with big energy and even bigger book goals: 🙋🏼‍♀️

Looking to really expand my list this year so agents, check out my updated #MSWL and send all the fiction my way!

(pls, ty, I am very excited)

Dying for some dark, romantic, magical YA fantasy in my inbox this new year 😈 #mswl

When it comes to taste, I tend to be drawn to visual projects & prose w/strong imagery. #mswl For I was a kid whose art school dreams were dashed early on, & the inner art kid hasn't died yet. I doodle at a pace of 1x year & am planning the next. Last year's existential lantern:

Cosy horror + steamy romance is definitely on my #MSWL

#MSWL from @TheJillRoberts: send us a novel about a time travelling psychiatrist who goes around medicating people in the past.

YAAS. Jobu Tupaki may be one of the best characters to ever grace the film screen. My wild #MSWL: a smart YA that has the feel of Everything Everywhere All at Once from the POV of Jobu w/the dysfunctional but heartfelt family dynamics, existential angst, absurd humor, & queer rep

me too!! keep me in mind if you find a good one!!! #MSWL #cozyfantasy
