Finally touched down in London, thinking that Bologna was SUCH a delight. The enthusiasm for Children’s across the board is so rejuvenating—it’s made me want more YA fantasy and crossover projects. I’m looking for fun, fresh, high-stakes, *clever* projects with a clear voice.

Reminder that I would love a YA mermaid book. Atmospheric unsettling mermaids. Mermaid amusement park. Mermaid Dysphoria. #MSWL

#MSWL Spring Break Blitz - Contemporary Women's Fiction dlvr.it/T56xzc

This is such a random #MSWL , because I'm currently watching a Brown Thrasher enjoy my bird bath outside my office window. But if anyone has a book that deals with bird watchers in any form, let me know! Romance, fantasy, adult, kidlit, I just love birds. 🐦🐦‍⬛

More underrepresented voices and backgrounds. More rare or lesser known settings. More diamonds in the rough. More retellings. Give me deep POV. If you're comps include a binge worthy show, character we love or love to hate, or movie, send my way.

In fiction: speculative, magical realism, horror, romance. In NF: narrative NF, memoir, biography, immigrant stories, cultural commentary, people in history, lesser known professions and crafts (builders, designers, architects), musicians/artists/creators, daredevils, athletes.

#amquerying #writingcommunity I am opening for queries now through end of May. Looking forward to sunshine, hammocks, and summer reads. Wishlist and link below. Feel free to ask questions or clarifications. Typos allowed on both sides :)

This list is not exhaustive, but hopefully helpful & indicative.

Send a cover letter, short synopsis & the first three chapters for my attention to UKBookSubmissions@caa.com.

And thank you for indulging my whims - what a privilege to be a professional treasure-hunter.

Middle grade is tough at the moment, but anything that does any of the above, ideally with hook & humour, I’d love to see. The formally interesting too - Benjamin Zephaniah, Ursula LeGuin or David Almond-esque.

I don’t tend to rep picture books or young fiction.

…returning to nature & to ourselves.

I will always be drawn to international stories and settings - what is unfamiliar (& uncomfortable!) to a Western reader.

I don’t tend to rep high fantasy, but love magic & a speculative hook.

Every kind of love, please.

Themes: always, always work that in some way acknowledges the ecological crisis in which we now & will always exist.

Radical reimaginings of how we might live, in terms of collective care, eradicating borders, tearing down capitalist, colonialist & imperialist structures…
