I’ve answered all queries so I’m doing a soft re-open, narrowing down my #MSWL to focus on areas I didn’t receive many queries when I initially opened. I’d 🩷 to see your chapter books, MG: contemporary, MG: nonfiction, MG: novel in verse, YA: contemporary, & YA: novel in verse

I'm also interested in humorous stories that stretch the imagination, creepy picture books that allow young readers to explore fear, tension, and the unknown in a safe and fun way, and inventive/clever nonfiction, particularly STEAM themes and narrative nonfiction.

GENERAL
I gravitate toward high-concept, commercial fiction with bold storytelling, standout pacing, and a distinct voice. I also have a soft spot for speculative stories, mysteries, and anything delightfully weird.

My adult #MSWL is similar to my kidlit wants! I’m very interested in non-memoir non fiction (though I’m always open to a good memoir), uplifting literary fiction, and fun genre fiction that pushes boundaries and/or offers something innovative. See previous post about what I DON’T want. Open on 6/1.

I represent #kidlit of all kinds, but what I’m most interested in receiving in my inbox when we are #opentoqueries on 6/1 is: uplifting contemporary YA, non-fiction for all age groups written in compelling prose, projects from author/illustrators, and novels-in-verse! #MSWL

My #MSWL categories as we open for queries on 6/1: I’m happy to read both fiction and non-fiction for children and adults in all genres except: erotica, true crime, political non-fiction, very grisly horror, and AI generated works. #amagenting

#mswl reminder: I am still on the hunt for standout trans/genderqueer voices, particularly in YA but also MG, from speculative to gorgeously written coming-of-age. My partner is trans/nb, I’m genderfluid, and I will never stop championing genderqueer authors
