Hi! Good morning! This is your semi-annual reminder that while I'm looking for diversity and own voices across the board, I am particularly interested in seeing submissions in the mystery and historical romance genres. Please send! #mswl

In this weird and heavy and complicated time, Soho is on a temporary acquisitions pause.

BUT, agents—call! Write! Text! DM me! I will be doing the same. I want to make connections, friends, and look to the future with everyone.

I'm working on posting my #MSWL, but for now: I'm interested in books that embrace ST's mission—bold voices, diverse voices, daring stories of self-discovery—and also intimate voices, books & characters that exist in in-between spaces, marginalized or silenced perspectives.
