Another just came to mind - @MariaJoseFitzg2’s forthcoming TURTLES OF THE MIDNIGHT MOON. I loved this magical eco-mystery and it’s strong cultural elements and setting. #MSWL #amquerying #WritingCommunity #onethatgotaway

As agents, we all have ‘ones that got away’. One of mine was Ginny Myers Sain’s DARK AND SHALLOW LIES. And I would love to see something like that in my inbox right now, #amquerying authors! #writingcommunity #MSWL #southerngothic #alltheatmosphereAnother? Lorelei Savaryn’s CIRCUS OF STOLEN DREAMS. Gorgeous writing. Gorgeous imagery. If you can comp to either of these I’d love to see your projects, #amquerying authors. #MSWL #mg #ya

I am pro-short story collections that are thematic of region/place & immerses a reader into an underrepresented community in our literary ecosystem (see: Maxine Clair, Bryan Washington, Kali Fajardo-Anstine) (7/8)
Editor
& I love the complexities of multigenerational or familial relationships, especially when sharp prose is brought to the forefront of these narratives. (6/8)
Editor
It’s also fun to discover and explore lesser-known historical gems that blossom into fiction (yes, this is a Kaitlyn Greenidge stan account) (5/8)
Editor
Stories that create or contribute to larger conversations about society excite me, especially ones that incorporate the ramifications of systemic inequalities (like the school-to-prison pipeline) within a community–both in the US or on a global scale. (4/8)
Editor
Fiction that’s ambitious in its scope, something that’s willing to sit at the intersection of multiple themes in a way that feels accessible, yet complex. (3/8)
Editor
Stories that center nuanced + dynamic characters. I think of work that has a combination of humor + heart (like Insecure or Abbot Elementary) and uses stylistic elements (like voice, POV, structure) to create a compelling narrative (2/8)
Editor
