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
✨On Mondays, we create a #MSWL!✨Agents, I’m excited to start building my own list for Team @FlatironBooks, with a focus on uplifting literary, contemporary, and/or historical fiction by Black/Afro-identifying writers in all of our glorious multitudes. I’m looking for… (1/8)

Randomly remembering the @AMorbidPodcast Listener Tales ep where a girl who lost her parents thought she heard them calling to her one night from outside but when she went to open the door, her mother's voice, clear as day, says from behind her, "No baby, that's not us." 😱😳 #mswl
