I am reading Danielle Evan's BEFORE YOU SUFFOCATE YOUR OWN FOOL SELF and it's...perfection. Layer upon layer of all the essential story elements. Writing that melts into your soul. #amquerying writers: we know short story collections are a tough sell but I AM HERE FOR IT! #MSWL

Also I need more graphic novels #MSWL

I would love some brilliant, atmospheric YA horror that is reminiscent of THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE or a slasher like SCREAM.

I've also become a fan of novels-in-verse across middle grade and YA.

And I'd love to add a few more graphic novels to my list across all ages! #mswl

I'm pulling back on science fiction in the children's/teen space, but would love interesting non-fiction projects about space travel/exploration like THE RIGHT STUFF for kids. For space in fiction, I'd like something like WE DREAM OF SPACE or I LOVE YOU, MICHAEL COLLINS. #mswl

Right now I have a very robust list of text-only picture book clients, so I'm focusing on finding author/illustrators in the picture book space for now. I would love to find YOUR version of something like THEY ALL SAW A CAT. #mswl

I recently updated my bio and wishlist on the @NewLeafLiterary website. I've been here for three years and my list has grown a lot and now I'm trying to fill some holes and adjusting my needs! Give it a read and query if you think you are a fit! #mswl

On my #MSWL retellings of Biblical parables and stories from BIPOC perspectives/set in BIPOC cultural contexts.

SOMEONE. WRITE THIS. FOR ME. #mswl

My aesthetic as an agent is this tweet. #mswl

The market may be overflowing with #PB bios, but I've been watching Netflix's Amend and would love to see a manuscript about the incredible Pauli Murray! #bvm #mswl

“I’d love to see a MG or YA spin doctor. Think the energy of Shirley and Jamila Save Their Summer meets the Good Wife's Eli Gold.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Oh, look at that, in one week I will reopen to queries.

I will update my various #MSWL posts and will pin them to this space, but yes...formal notice that I am reopening to queries on March 15th.

I’m actively looking for a fast-paced mystery/thriller/crime manuscript with twists, turns & jaw dropping moments: MG, YA or adult. Send a query with the first 50 pages of the MS to kellyt@serendipitylit.com. #MSWL #crimefiction #thriller #mystery #crime @The_CWA @EdgarAwards

With ~everything~, I am really looking for some #contemporary #YA that will make me laugh. I want true LOLs with a bubbly voice. My grabby hands are out! #MSWL

Happy International Women's Day! As a literary agent, I'm always excited to represent books by and about smart, strong, #badass women making a difference! #InternationalWomensDay #MSWL #literaryagents #OprahMeghanHarry #MeghanMarkle #HarryMeghanOprah #Ripple #GenerationEquality

Happy International Women’s Day!

Now send me all the stories where women are supporting each other and not tearing each other down.
