I'm craving a story about Hermes with a personality similar to Epic, the Musical and his character in A Touch of Darkness. #writingcommunity #MSWL #manuscript

To querying authors, I'm OPEN & looking to add a handful of clients to my roster in 2025. Check out my #MSWL & QM link on ALA's website. To editors & other publishing professionals, I would love to connect at my new role. Let's schedule a meeting ASAP, I love yapping about books!

The news is OUT! I've joined the fierce Azantian Literary Agency as an associate agent. I've been pinching myself since @jenazantian welcomed me; it's a dream come true to be picking up my work with all my lovely authors & representing kidlit & adult fiction at ALA. 🐉

We are thrilled to announce that Moe Ferrara has joined #TeamTriada as a senior literary agent! 🎉Welcome, Moe!

In nonfiction, I want to see more experts, journalists, and scientists in my inbox that are...
✅ digesting civics and policy in new ways
✅ highlighting international journalism
✅ discovering connections in nature

#MSWL

In kid lit... I’d really love to grow my young adult & middle-grade list with...
✅ voicey friendships with sleuth mystery
✅ lush worlds with trustworthy companions
✅ humorous self-love navigating identity

#MSWL

In adult...I want to read more horror with societal commentary & millennial voices with...
✅ unreliable page-turning narrators
✅ messy coming-of-age dating sagas
✅ hilarious and relatable sibling stories

2025 is here and I'm so excited to see what this year has in store for my #mswl ✨

I'm actively continuing to grow my adult and #kidlit lists this year and I'm also looking to expand into #nonfiction . Here's what I'm on the lookout for in these categories 🧵⬇️

#MSWL

Commercial and upmarket fiction across genres, especially novels with unusual behind-the-scenes locations, female friendships, a feminist bent, aspirational settings, diverse authors and experiences, and high concept ‘what if’ premises.

PB—at this time I’m only looking for author-illustrators and illustrators. I’m looking for work that has a strong narrative arc and clearly centers the child reader.

MG: I’d love fresh fantasy with fantastic voice, contemporary adventure along the lines of James Ponti’s works, shorter illustrated works for younger readers, and I’m always looking to laugh.

YA: high stakes fantasy with atmospheric setting, a cozy fantasy that makes me laugh and gives me all the feels, a story set in a competitive subculture, and I’m always open to a fresh take on vampires or the “eternal ones” trope.

Hello 2025~I’m back in the office and open to queries this week! #amquerying #kidlit #writers #illustrators , I’d love to see your #YA , #MG , narrative NF proposals, and #PBs . I’ve updated my #MSWL , but some particular things I’d love to see in my inbox:

Finally, I'm open to nonfiction for adults and teens! I want to learn something new, discover unique angles on topics I love, and find accessible projects. I'm actively seeking memoirs/narrative; true crime stories; women's, POC, and LGBTQ+ issues; gardening/sustainability; and food content. #MSWL

I also want to build my list of exciting, meaningful, fun, and funny MG fiction! Again, I especially hope to see SFF and horror submissions with original premises and clear conflicts, but I'm also open to contemporary stories and mysteries. In everything, I hope to see strong messages! #MSWL

For adults, I'm on the hunt for hooky commercial fiction and women's fiction, especially with a focus on friendship; thoughtful speculative fiction; swoon-worthy romantic comedies and paranormal romance; and a few accessible, grounded fantasy, romantasy, horror, and science fiction novels. #MSWL

First: YA! Half of the projects that I fell in love with last year were YA fantasy, so I'm craving more! I'm also open to contemporary, romance, mystery, horror, and sci-fi.

I'm seeking unique world-building; relatable, messy, dynamic characters; twists and turns; and emotional depth. #MSWL

In general, my #MSWL includes big emotions, multi-level plots, female friendships, sweeping urban fantasy, clever fairytale retellings, reimagined classics, unique story structures, locked-room YA thrillers, MG with magical creatures, heists & spies & assassins, rivals to lovers, and diverse voices.

I'm reopening to queries this morning, so in honor of the new year and new platform, it feels like it's time for an updated #MSWL ! (To be clear, any previous wish list claims that I've made still stand, but this represents the tippity-top of my list right now.)
