As a reminder, I'll only be opening to nonfiction queries for the month of May. Here's a quick overview of what's on my #mswl if you're interested in hitting me up!

"In nonfiction, I am particularly drawn to true crime."
Elizabeth Guthrie #MSWL

This goes for both fiction and NF!

I’d love to see NF proposals about modern spirituality, unique perspectives on community building (especially post COVID), & sustainable living.

Send me stories about humanity that feel like watching Artemis II landing back on earth! #mswl #moonjoy

"I'm looking for nonfiction about history—especially ancient civilizations or intellectual history."

Head's up that in May, I'll only be open to nonfiction queries. I have so many wonderful fiction fulls I want to get to before I start requesting more, and also, I'm very excited to continue building my NF list!

I'll reopen to fiction in the summer. Thanks all for your patience!

My #FridayReads is @dannyfunt .bsky.social's EVERYBODY LOSES, a comprehensive look at the rise of sports betting in this country, which is exactly the sort of Michael-Lewis-esque narrative nonfiction I'd love to represent. #mswl

#MSWL Looking for memoir and nonfiction on ’70s New York and L.A. culture with real scene energy—clubs, streets, studios, artists, hustlers, outsiders, beautiful chaos. I want voice, access, texture, and a world that feels dangerously alive. Guidelines in reply.

For clarity, I only represent age categories MG and up. For MG & YA I’m open to all genres fiction and nonfiction. On the adult side I only work on genre-adjacent or genre-lite fiction (no straight contemporary or anything that wades too deeply into the genre space). #MSWL
