That's it for now on my #mswl. If there's ever a hesitation, go ahead and shoot me a query! So excited to get started!

Right now, I am NOT the right person for books with pregnancy, babies, pregnancy loss -- they would be pretty much automatic "no thank yous." If it's a TINY part of your story and you REALLY think I'll like it otherwise, pls include a content warning. #MSWL

On the flip side, I'm not the right person to query with your high fantasy. It's just not my cup of tea and lots of agents would LOVE to see it from you, so don't waste your own time. #MSWL

Random things I love that will catch my eye: I'm an aerialist with a soft spot for circus/acrobat stories; amusement parks; beach towns; casinos/card games/Las Vegas; heists (women-led even better); hotels (teen Eloise, pls); Halloween; summer camp; sharks (is that weird?!) #MSWL

Literary or fairytale #retellings – but they have to really stand out and bring something new. Bonus for more under-the-radar or lesser-told tales or mashups. #MSWL

Contemporary WITCHES and covens. #YA and #MG, but keep it grounded in this world—think: The Craft or Practical Magic. I'm also on board with other #magicalrealism in styles of Laura Ruby, Anna-Marie McLemore, Emily X.R. Pan, Katrina Leno, Ibi Zoboi's American Street #MSWL

Girls who cause mischief and mayhem! Send me your troublemakers. Unabashedly #feminist POVs encouraged. #MSWL #YA #MG

Groups of teens who work! #YA set among servers, caterers, retail workers, lifeguards, camp counselors – any work. Think #Sweetbitter or Empire Records but a #YA book. #MSWL

In line with the last tweet, please send your manuscripts about groups of friends, and bonus points if it happens over one night or one weekend. Something like a high school gen's The Big Chill energy. #MSWL

I am 100% a realistic, contemporary #YA lover. I want all your rom-coms, your roms *sans* com, your BFF stories—anything with a unique or fun hook and swoons. Bonus points for SUMMER settings. #MSWL

In keeping with #mysteries and twists and adventures, I loved that new Amazon Prime show #TheWilds and would love to see any #YA that would comp to it. @thewildsonprime #MSWL

I've been an Agatha Christie obsessive since my blessed 6th grade teacher gave me "And Then There Were None," so PLEASE send me all your #YA and #MG Agatha-inspired #whodunnits like #trulydevious and the movie #knivesout. #MSWL

To get an idea of what I'm looking for from #amquerying writers, check out this #MSWL thread I'll be updating throughout the day. #YA & #MG #fiction only. To start, I absolutely would love to see submissions by BIPoC and LGBTQ+ authors and writers with disabilities. #mswl

Just saying, if your manuscript has sea shanty vibes, I would absolutely love to see it in my inbox! #MSWL

I’m so excited to share my #MSWL, which just went live! If you’re interested, please take a look to find out what kinds of projects I’m on the look-out for! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mich…
