Agents, I'm keen to see more horror from POC and queer authors! Especially keen on any folk, possession or deep-sea horror from a non-Western perspective. #MSWL

Taking conference pitches this weekend made me realize I have a TERRIBLE NEED for queer historical YA. Not fantasy! I want real queer teens living, loving, and existing throughout the ages. If you have this, agents, I'll take them even though I'm closed to submissions! #MSWL

#MSWL LGBTQ+ non trauma centered YA & Adult fiction. A romcom would be fun, Iโ€™m always looking for masculine presenting lesbians. BIPOC stories always a plus.

If you have something that fits this specifically DM me.

Send me your FANTASY ROMANCE! Iโ€™m looking for equal strength in the fantasy and romance aspects โ€“ it needs to have solid plot and worldbuilding alongside off-the-charts chemistry. I would love to see more queer (especially sapphic) romantasy!

Iโ€™d love to see more romance featuring queer (especially aro/ace-spec) and autistic characters, whether those are central to the plot or just character traits. Talia Hibbert and Chloe Liese are the blueprint.

๐Ÿ”ฎ Unabashed minimalism. Ironic disinterest is over, baby! yes YES the tiger is out!

๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ Gay-coded villains, frivolously or as a more intentional examination of queerness and what we owe to our queer elders and the generation following

New year, new #MSWL!

I represent BIPOC, Queer, and marginalized creators writing commercial genre fiction across MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel. My particular weaknesses are genre-blending SFF, horror, and anything with murder or making out (ideally both)

2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:

Iโ€™d also love to see queries from LGBTQIA writers, especially stories of joy and, given everything going on in the world, will prioritize how I can queries from trans writers if you choose to such identify in your letter (of course you do not have to)
