yea yea we're all sick of Greek myth retellings but WHAT IF: a retelling of Tiresias's life (and death)??? clairvoyant blind prophet ... transformed into a woman for 7 years (trans myth! trans myth!!!) ... occupying the liminal space between humanity and godhood ... #mswl pls 🙏

tbh ... a historical fiction intrigue novel that has the vibes and grit and tragedy of Brel's Dans Le Port D'Amsterdam ... I want it #mswl

just want more dark academia storylines tbh ... more Secret History, murdery, lush and twisty stories set against the backdrop of stifling academia, bonus points if it's historical (1940s or 60s would be fascinating, pls) ty and good night #mswl

also #mswl— more queer hijinks, pls

more (positive) neurodivergent rep of personality disorders, pls. I say this all the time, but I've had enough of people with BPD and bipolar disorder being portrayed as unstable, unreliable, or nefariously manipulative. give me joy, give me therapy, give me growth. #mswl

I cannot tag this hard enough #MSWL

more books about the rage of teenage girls feat. gothic vibes, pls (like YELLOWJACKETS meets SHARP OBJECTS 😍) #mswl

just for ref there are many people in UK publishing who are still intricately entwined with the """gender critical""" movement (a proven hate campaign against trans individuals). my DMs are open if you'd like to know more. I will always do my utmost to protect
#mswl #amquerying

anyways, in response to the recent transphobic hullabaloo and the incorrect accusation flung at YA twitter: is now a good time to say that @JJBker is looking for some SFF YA and I personally (his first reader) would love to see some trans rep in the inbox? 😎 #mswl

still waiting for this novel #mswl

I am BEGGING someone to write a novel inspired by this, please!!!!!! #mswl

I am looking for hooky cosy crime and historical fiction set in/around WW2.

Morally grey, complex and flawed characters are a plus!

#mswl

Just spent way too long engrossed in someone's 543-page dissertation on the purpose and prevalence of "like" across various national dialects of English, so this is now an official #MSWL call to any linguist whose work might interest the general public and not just nerds like me

While I am on the lookout for these things always, and you are certainly welcome to query me, I am *not* a full fledged agent and so will be working collaboratively with someone else from my agency, just for transparency's sake.

Non-fiction wise, I love an in-depth examination of an issue that we're currently dealing with (EMPIRE OF PAIN is a perfect example). A fresh take on the climate crisis that I wish I had found myself is WARMTH.

Anything that deals with, examines, or plays with gender — I want to see it. YA, NA, and A are all welcome. I want to read stories from disabled writers, from queer writers, from Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian writers.

I love all fiction, with a soft spot for magical realism (think 100 YEARS, of course!). Lit fic, spec fic, and sci-fi are also high on my list. Fantasy like BLACK LEOPARD. Psych fiction that slowly unravels, like RED PILL. And not always, but sometimes, a great love story.
