-Adult Mystery. I sold several I had on submission lately and really want to fill out my list here. Priority to mystery outside the U.S., younger protagonists, and diversity, especially queer and BIPOC. #MSWL I'm drawn to lighter mystery over crime or police stories.

-I have several cozy fantasy/science fiction on my list already so I'm looking for diverse cozy SFF this time. I'd love a queer cozy or BIPOC cozy fantasy or science fiction with a great romance. I usually prefer romance secondary to plot, not the whole plot. #MSWL

#MSWL

Commercial and upmarket fiction across genres, especially novels with unusual behind-the-scenes locations, female friendships, a feminist bent, aspirational settings, diverse authors and experiences, and high concept ‘what if’ premises.

Other specifics: ABOVE ALL, I prioritize diverse own voices from marginalized communities which is why November is diverse only. I am open to queer romance of all genres and age groups. I would love more author / illustrators for graphic novels and picture books. #MSWL (4/6)

#MSWL TL;DR:

[3/3] Select narrative nonfiction + memoir. Emphasis on diverse voices across the board (for both fiction + nonfiction).

I'm particularly drawn to queernormative worlds and stories that don't center homophobia or transphobia as the main conflict. I strongly believe in the importance of diverse stories and I'm always interested in reading and promoting them.
