#MSWL for when I reopen: romcom with emphasis on the comedy. Not just giggling-cute. I want Chidi and Eleanor absurdity level LOLs. Bonus points if the sex scenes are also funny.

Honestly gimmie anything that’s as ridiculous, funny, and charming as Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency #MSWL

I’m a Nora Ephron devotee. Send me your smart, funny leading ladies finding their way in life and love. Bonus points for a vivid setting. #mswl

#mswl (for agents) I'm looking for magical realism all along the spectrum from THE NIGHT CIRCUS to Helen Oyeyemi. I'm also looking for funny novels with sharp teeth and voicey novels with international settings (beyond UK, though those are of course welcome)

More romance! RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE is my absolute favorite romance EVER. Can someone please send me a romance, but with more than just romance? A romance to hits some hard topics, is funny and heartbreaking all at once, and is queer. #mswl

I'm dying for more fun, FUNNY, escapist YA with a killer one-sentence concept. The mood is 100% Red, White, & Royal Blue with younger characters. #MSWL
Literary Agent
On the lookout for the next Tiffany Jackson, Courtney Summers (circa SADIE), and Kara Thomas. Again: queer, kids of color, dark tone, twisty. Can be funny, weird! #mswl

Always HIGH on my #mswl priority: YA; queer friends of color from the hood, or lower-middle class a la failed NY industry. Full of heart, promise, and school skipping hijinks to idk attempt to skate the Statue of Liberty. Fast talking, no-nonsense kids w/a tight bond. Funny!

#MSWL Funny picture books in the vein of Mo Willems.

For YA, I love mysteries, historical, contemporary, magical realism, psychological/literary horror, contemporary w/ a very light speculative touch. I love funny books, I love serious books. #MSWL

Funny PBs! I loved Maria the Matador, Dragons Love Tacos, The Bad Seed, I Don’t Like Koala, Miss Hazeltime’s Home for Shy and Fearful Cats, Brunhilda’s Backwards Day, and Even Superheroes Make Mistakes. #MSWL

I'm closed to queries right now but when I open my #MSWL will be funny kidlit by writers of color. Especially love chapter books and early readers.
