Magical spice of all kinds! As creative and kinky as possible whilst still being marketable for trad publishing! Push my limits but I still want plot. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️#MSWL

Dragons or pretty much any flying magical creature... #MSWL

A sister saving her disaster-prone brothers from the perils of love and war (for personal reasons hehe) #MSWL

Crumbling worlds and too powerful gods that must be humbled by loving someone or something powerless. Give me angst or give me death. Or both at once!💀 😂#MSWL

Sapphics falling in love and causing chaos whilst building/destroying empires! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈⚔️ #MSWL

Villains that think they are heroes and so does the reader until they are far too invested! 👿 #MSWL

Curvy people with swords 👀 #MSWL

I am reading submissions and I think it's time to a #MSWL #thread of things I'm looking for! Tbh I'm open to magic of all kinds and I love to be surprised but there are a few specific vibes that I would love to see more of...

#amwriting #amquerying

Updated job title, updated agent page...✍️

I'm on the hunt for some BRILLIANT new novels, so #amquerying authors have a look at the #MSWL on my page and please do submit if you have something that might fit the bill!📚

Oh, hey there! Editor @HCI_Books here. #agents and #writers send me your proposals for books that connect food-body-environment. Or maybe just body-environment. Or maybe just body-exercise. Loving these topics right now! #nonfiction #MSWl #publishing #gimme #writingcommmunity

#MSWL A character dealing with the 5 stages of grief, but as a secondary theme (is not the main story of the book, but plays a major role in the conclusion of the story)

"I’d love to see more revenge stories. It could be a scorned lover, a group of friends avenging someone's death, a sister story, or anything similar. If your character is in their villain era, send it my way!"

I'm getting lots of lovely fantasy submissions in my query inbox, but a reminder to any #amquerying writers that I am looking for very accessible literary books too: think very emotional women in their early twenties.

Anything that feels like a song from GUTS, basically.

"Seeking voice-driven contemporary YA like EMERGENCY CONTACT by Mary H.K. Choi, DON'T READ THE COMMENTS by Eric Smith, WE ARE OKAY by Nina LaCour, and LET ME HEAR A RHYME by Tiffany D. Jackson."

Sorry, romance like EVERY SUMMER AFTER (not romcom!). (Although I also love romcoms!) #MSWL

More of this rollercoaster sibling energy in middle grade submissions, PLEASE! #mswl

More of this tambourine side-eye energy in picture book submissions, please! This closeup is from Mr. S by Monica Arnaldo, which is so funny and memorable. #mswl

20. Please do not email me your query or use the contact form on my website, where it clearly states not to use it to query me. 🤦🏼‍♀️ If I’ve asked you to email me your query material, that’s ok, but cold queries must come in via Query Manager.

19. My query inbox opens SO SOON! I will announce it here and in other platforms as well as on my website, and I’ll add to this thread the submission link as soon as possible. Here are some guidelines in the meantime:

18. Three very important elements in opening pages for me are voice, tension, & curiosity! These are a MUST if I’m going to potentially request more material. Less backstory and world building, more scene action & character. Surprise me! Give me something I MUST keep reading for.
