For YA and MG, I am open to all genres but horror and high fantasy, though I have been drawn to contemporaries lately. Looking for great pacing, characters I would have loved to be friends with growing up, and storylines that move me or make me think.

For rom-coms, I am looking for sweet, but not predictable. Messy families, messy backgrounds, and messy lives are okay, but I'm not looking for excessive gore or cursing. I love grumpy/sunshine tropes, enemies to lovers, and characters with a redemption arc.

For women's driven/book club fiction, I am looking for stories of hope, inspiration, and emotion. Give me the family drama and the MCs that have allll the baggage to work through. Found family storylines are grabbing my attention lately.

Would love to see more stories like these! #MSWL

Cannot recommend THE GOD AND THE GUMIHO & SCORCHED SKIES enough & I cannot wait to read THE GRYPHON KING & THE LIBRARY AT HELLEBORE when they release 🥹

Next year, I’m hoping to find a SF project that could be described as retro futurism or hopepunk. I want space as optimistic adventure, not “this is our last hope.”

I'm still learning everyday in this position and it's one I love deeply so please understand why my list is so small and why I have to reject certain projects.

Hi! I updated my #MSWL for 2025, it's a lot smaller than what it originally was and I hope to expand it again in time but for now, I need to focus on keeping my list small and doing all I can for the clients I take on while making sure I'm not overfilling my tank. 1/?

Please please send me things that match the vibe of these songs - and I generally love music comps (though I’m not always up to date with pop music) 5/?

As I used to be a medieval historian looking at storytelling in history writing, I’d love to rep some creative interpretations of world mythology and history. I adore Nicola Griffith, for example. 4/?

My taste runs towards the atmospheric and character-driven, and I love stories with a strong sense of emotional tension.
Please send me all the queer/disabled/author of colour stories - and I’m keen to represent writers who write in English as a second language. 2/?

as I’m opening to queries in a few days, it’s time for a proper #mswl . I’m looking for YA/adult SFFH and serious trade non-fic in the broad history/sociology space. I’m very keen on the literary end of genre, as well as commercial stories that say something about society. 1/?
