can already tell that "something with the exact energy as yellowjackets" is going to be my new* "something with the exact energy of hannibal" when agents ask me what weirdly specific book I dream of acquiring* realistically I will still say both and it will take years to find
SAME! Gimme Yelowjackets! #MSWL

I'm not open to queries until next year but while I'm thinking about it, I love books that deal with a future shaped by climate change. WANT by @cindypon and THE ONES WE'RE MEANT TO FIND by @joanhewrites are two of my favorites #mswl

I just learned about Boston marriages where wealthy 19th century women "married" each other by moving in together to keep their inherited or hard-earned money to themselves and some of these "marriages" turned into actual romantic relationships. And now I'm obsessed.#MSWL but witches/vampires/werewolves/etc.

I was thinking about books I loved this year, which prompted me to update my #MSWL. I'm such a sucker for books that really dig into the way we connect with each other.

#MSWL for trans voices in speculative #A or #YA that comps @ryka_aoki's The Light from Uncommon Stars. I'm blown away not just by the voice, but by the originality of the story, the heart, the narrative scope. It's breathtaking. We need more trans joy in SFF. Send them my way.

Please someone send me BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE meets JANE THE VIRGIN.
Imagine the fun with that soap opera narration 😬 #MSWL #amagenting❤️
P.S. When I worked at Disneyland, I met Jaime Camil (Rogelio, Jane’s dad). 😅 He was also my first love in telenovelas (La Fea Mas Bella)🙃

While I am on the lookout for these things always, and you are certainly welcome to query me, I am *not* a full fledged agent and so will be working collaboratively with someone else from my agency, just for transparency's sake.
Literary Assistant
Non-fiction wise, I love an in-depth examination of an issue that we're currently dealing with (EMPIRE OF PAIN is a perfect example). A fresh take on the climate crisis that I wish I had found myself is WARMTH.
Literary Assistant
Anything that deals with, examines, or plays with gender — I want to see it. YA, NA, and A are all welcome. I want to read stories from disabled writers, from queer writers, from Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian writers.

A #MSWL mini thread since I'm just dipping a toe into the querying world. 🧵I love all fiction, with a soft spot for magical realism (think 100 YEARS, of course!). Lit fic, spec fic, and sci-fi are also high on my list. Fantasy like BLACK LEOPARD. Psych fiction that slowly unravels, like RED PILL. And not always, but sometimes, a great love story.

Y’all know the drill! I want a character driven coming-of-age contemporary YA centered around a queer BIPOC girl that feels like Sour by Olivia Rodrigo. #mswlYou know what would be really cool? A love story with a non-linear timeline where the further you advance through the story, the more you start to question if it’s a romance or a thriller. #mswl
