Writers, I'll be taking pitches on Oct. 4th for the Online Florida Writing Workshop. Especially looking for sharp upmarket & commercial fiction, psychological suspense, & unique mysteries with a dose of humor. Check out my #MSWL for more! Lots of amazing agents participating!

so for #MSWL I am really looking for more commercial, character driven, humorous picture book stories. These are a good sampling of what I am looking for on my list.

Part 1/

-College set sex advice column book
-hypernormality in Dystopian
-super commercial & humorous picture book
-Bright and colorful art from Illustrators.

I’m drawn to campy, voice-driven stories across genres that mix romance and friendship with a streak of morbid humor. Books that are wickedly fun to read and altogether a good time, with a touch of the macabre wrapped in charm. #MSWL

"Novels that are both dark and humorous, in the vein of MY SISTER, THE SERIAL KILLER and THE BANDIT QUEENS."

I am also on the hunt for stories filled with humor, a diverse cast of characters, and illustrated chapter books.

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.

"Across genres, I love a voice with a dark sense of humor. Whether it's witty, morbidly funny, or satirical."

Maybe it’s because there’s so much doom and gloom in the world right now, but I’d love to see YA in my inbox with more humor. I want more cozy fantasies with light-heartedness, sass, or even snark, not constant death and destruction. #MSWL

Newly opening to: Picture Books!

I'm looking for dry humor that's accessible enough for children to understand but still clever enough for an adult to enjoy while reading it over and over. I like cozy, warm, gentle, soft art styles, but I'm also willing to be surprised.

Shorter, kitschy, high concept books that celebrate adolescence for young readers. Books that speak to their big emotions and daydreams. Humorous and playful and adventurous and classic. Think of what media used to be like in the early 2000s-memorable, lovable, serialized

I’m looking for immersive settings, a strong love story, & a high-concept plot. Give me adventure, humor, and swoon-worthy romance—whether it’s a daring quest, a fairy tale reimagining, or a kingdom on the brink of change. I want magic, unforgettable characters, and a romance that feels epic. #MSWL

✨️ Princess Bride-style banter and swoon-worthy romance
✨ Ella Enchanted vibes w/ adventure, humor, & lighthearted magic
✨ A headstrong heroine who refuses to be a damsel
✨ A dashing, mysterious [x] with a heart of gold
✨ Twists, disguises, & a fairy tale ending

Late to the #MSWL party but all of you querying authors out there, I'm looking for something in the #Adult #nonfiction genre. Specifically, I want to laugh. So if you have any humor-based proposals out there, I'd like to see them! I will open my QM link from 2/13-2/17 ONLY, so be quick. :)

For MG and YA, I could use some projects to reinvigorate things. Humor and optimism and joy would be nice. Fanciful, fantastic twists. Books that have FUN and let readers have fun. (I really can't handle depressing stories right now.)

It's #MSWL day! I'm looking for writers of adult fiction and occasionally nonfiction who approach the world with wonder & keenness, imagination & care, and heart & humor.

I love romances with:
-emotional vulnerability
-any level of steam (no erotica)
-any level of humor
-sweet, loving relationships
-lovable side characters
-main characters who are figuring it all out
-contemporary settings

Pretty much any kind of love story (contemporary romance or rom com)
#MSWL

Like many others, I’m really feeling cozy, hopeful, and even silly vibes right now. Give me light to fight the darkness! In fiction, I want a humorous friendship romp! In nonfiction I’m looking more for untold inspirational stories and curiosities than exposés and diatribes.
