12/ I collect stickers! I love them! I have never seen or read a book in which this has been a theme or story, but I absolutely want to! Jigsaw puzzles and Legos are also strong interests of mine.

Literary Agent
11/ @LouRaguse's true crime book VANISHED IN VERMILLION comes out soon, and I would LOVE to do more non-fiction crime stories. If you have read, watched, or listened to something true crime, I probably have, too. And if I haven't, please tell me about it.

10/ I grew up in the church, I continue to be a church nerd, and I am absolutely fascinated by the ups and downs of religions and spirituality. I am particularly keen on Mormonism and Utah, as well as spiritual cults. I devoured PRIESTDADDY by @TriciaLockwood.

Literary Agent
9/ I was a child of the 90's, I LOVE 90's culture, and especially children's media. FOREST HILLS BOOTLEG SOCIETY by @nicolegoux and @xDaveBakerx was an INSTANT pre-order when I discovered it.

Literary Agent
8/ Historic tragedies and melodramatic tragic figures have always FASCINATED me. I read Anne Frank's journal cover to cover repeatedly as a child. I PORED over photographs of the Titanic. I think of Marie Antoinette's cruel and misattributed "let them eat cake" regularly.

Literary Agent
7/ Mental illness and psychiatric disability is always an area of interest of mine, since it both affects me and I've worked in the field extensively. I often refer people to non-fiction on this topic, but another favourite is @sentencebender's DESTROY ALL MONSTERS.

Literary Agent
6/ Related, but not the same, I am also very interested in human-animal-nonhuman relationships. This is actually what I studied in my PhD. I've read many fantastic books on the subject, but still highly recommend LOVE NOTES by @philip_mckibbin, who is now ALSO doing his PhD.

Literary Agent
5/ Animals. I have worked with and studied animals from childhood to present, including my PhD. My favourites are bees, bears, and kΔkΔpΕs, and I am highly interested in birding in general. @KellyOhlert nailed this interest of mine in her forthcoming TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE!

3/ If your book, fiction or non-fiction, involves one of my special interests in any way, I would LOVE to see it in my submissions when I am open! So here are some of mine...4/ Books! Surprise! I love books. Sometimes, the market for books about books and bookish things can be oversaturated, but I still do love them, and I'm always interested in a fresh take. Comp: Victoria Schwab's THE ARCHIVED duology.

I'm back with a real #MSWL since opening to queries. I posted a photo of things I can't shut up about last week and that's threaded, but also threaded are some recent and upcoming reads that I loved/am excited about that I wanna see in my inbox. pic.twitter.com/WjdgzbuzrlI donβt work over the weekends but I do read queries when I can (shhh). And Iβm caught up besides a few received since yesterday. Try me!

New specific whim for my #MSWL! I'd love to see more PB bios of contemporary musicians. Give me rock bands, give me rappers, give me pop stars currently killing it. (Lizzo, anyone?? π) I LOVE music across many genres, try me with anyone who has a fascinating, kid-OK story!πΈπ΅πΆ
