My bookshelf is 50% character-driven sff/speculative/spooky, 50% realistic contemporary/historical (coming-of-age romance, mystery/thriller, action-adventure, and verse novels), mostly by BIPOC, queer, or traditionally underrepresented folks, & my taste very much reflects that.

#MSWL Agents, I've been seeing some fantastic YA sff subs. I'll never say no to sff that captures my heart, but I'm also on the lookout for gorgeously written verse/prose, layered coming-of-age (historical or contemp) esp if it weaves in queer romance and/or mystery/suspense.

Everyone has a mermaid novel but me #mswl

I just really like fun books about women #mswl

FYI — In the last two months I’ve read and loved COUNTERFEIT and FOR YOUR OWN GOOD and PEOPLE YOU MEET ON VACATION and LESSONS IN CHEMISTY. I’d love to see manuscripts that comp to any of these #mswl

Okay @KidlitKat was absolutely right about this book.

If you have written a YA or Adult book that comps to this, I want to read it!!! #mswl

My goal is to keep y'all in the loop as much as possible. As a new agent, I'm pretty much going to be open to most genres in YA and Adult. Eventually, I see myself opening up to MG further down the road. That being said, I'll do a #MSWL thread early next week (2/11)

Thursday Transparency 🧵before I open to queries next week!
I'm so excited for this next step in my career as an agent and can't wait to read all of your stories. As an author who's been on the other side, I wanted to provide some details about my agenting process. (1/11)

If your picture book is:

Halloween 🎃
Funny 🤣
Cute ☺️
(And it rhymes +)

I want to read it! 🙋🏻‍♂️

📚 #MSWL and contact link in bio! Agented or not!

"I'd really love to get more YA horror in my inbox. Smart horror. I don't want gore, I want a story that creeps me out, and asks questions I don't want answers to."

Horrifying and beautiful. #MSWL

Novelists of Twitter (I refuse the other name): where is the RushTok romance we all need? Or…a mystery? Pls hmu with this important literary contribution. And also note I was in charge of recruitment for all sororities at my college so I mean business. #mswl

Here’s what I’d love to find in my inbox:

A stellar suspense manuscript written by a POC.

The suspense shelf is full of white women, and while they are very talented, we definitely need to diversify this section of the bookstore.

I’m not ready for this show to be cancelled… but also, if you’ve got a story like this, I want to see it. #MSWL

I am less than a week away from getting back into my classroom, and I am craving a good PD book for educators.
Any recommendations? Better yet... Any queries?👀 #mswl
