…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…

Commercial-literary fiction in general: Bunny,Tender is the Flesh & Paul Takes the Form of Mortal Girl are all good examples.

I’m also looking for something big - perhaps a family drama, perhaps multi-generational - still with voice. I love Iris Murdoch, Toni Morrison & Barbara Kingsolver.

Literary / commercial-literary horror - see above…

Graphic novels across the market, but see 🧵 for general themes that I’m interested in.

Literary / commercial-literary romance. Especially if bi / pan / queer. I’m looking for both something sweeping & epic, & something more contemporary.

Writers of this better place: I’m closing submissions soon but before I do, I’d love some final books to sell! Here’s my #mswl :

High-concept YA - if it includes & addresses untold histories / historically marginalized characters, all the better

YA horror - ALL OF IT

Sophisticated MG, by which I mean MG that tackles big things, that plays with form. Think HOLES, THE INQUISITOR’S TALE, or for a film comp, THE IRON GIANT.

In 2025, I would love to sign my first adult non-fiction project. Top of my list is food writing/food memoir. Some recent favorites in this genre:
- CORK DORK
- NATIONAL DISH
- CRYING IN H MART
- KOSHERSOUL

#MSWL I'm closed to queries at the moment, BUT...I will ALWAYS be open to INDIGENOUS VOICES. This is a special passion of mine, yet I don't have a single Native American author or story. If this describes you/your project, PLEASE REACH OUT! I will open a link for any Indigenous creator (fiction).

My whole personality is books but I do like to lie & say there is more to me than that. I also love: pop culture, taylor swift, fashion & sustainability, lattes, stickers, cute stationary, going down a research rabbit hole about something random and objectively unimportant, literally anything mini.

Right now, I’m especially looking for:
📚Smart upmarket & book club fiction
📚 Women’s fic
📚 Horror
📚 Thrillers with a twist
📚 Rom-coms (any spice level)

A snapshot of some genres I don’t rep:
🚫 Kidlit
🚫 SF / F
🚫 Memoirs (but I am open to hybrid memoirs!)

I’m what you’d call a baby agent 🤓 so I’m actively building my client list & looking for more projects in my inbox that would give me brain butterflies ✨You can find my #MSWL linked below with all the deets👇🏼

Hi new pals! I thought I’d introduce myself and what I’m looking for in this thread 👀

I’m a lit agent at ps literary agency repping adult fic + nonfic. I’m excited to be here!! I’m hoping to connect with more authors, readers, and publishing folks so if you fall into one of those buckets drop a 👋🏼

#MSWL Murder-mystery meets the Dull Club - inspired by this wonderful piece in NY mag

nymag.com/intelligence...

I’m always down for folk religion, cults, and religious deconstruction.

And if you have a book (esp for MG) about swimming/swim team, please send it my way!

#MSWL

Picture Book #MSWL I want to see in the new year:
-spooky adjacent
-weird but with a heart of gold

#MSWL

If you have anything that fits, I'd love to see it. There is so much great children's fiction out rn, it was so hard to choose.

I did miss having somewhere to do #MSWL so I am happy this is an option

#MSWL for thriller procedurals. They're what I want to read right now.

I’ll probably create an updated #MSWL for the new year, but my query inbox reopens on 12/1 for the last time in 2024. Here’s what I’m currently looking for: www.instagram.com/p/C3Qv6eOLch...
