Love stories across all genres that feel timeless, escapist, all consuming, and maybe even a little unconventional. Partners who are fated in the stars, who make questionable choices for each other, who redefine how we say I love you.

Maybe it’s because of the state of the world, maybe it’s because I’m in my luteal phase. Whomst knows. But I’m very much looking for emotionally driven, thoughtful, painful stories. Books that make you feel and pain that resonates and evolves into hope. A book club contender

✨finger guns✨ Hi there, fiction writers and #amquerying I’m officially back open to queries!

Have a cool book? I like books. Have a rad idea for a series? Send it my way.

Check out below for some #mswl highlights on romance, fantasy, and everything between 🤍

Jess is craving contemporary historical (1960s-90s) with a voice. Think Demon Copperhead but for another era. Literary-leaning, immersive, and the kind of book people argue about. #MSWL

I want an academia book: dark, light, or cozy/whimsical #MSWL

Now wait a damn minute #mswl

#writers and #amquerying authors, I am itching for a horror story inspired by the evil eye, with a messy, high stakes friendship or sister dynamic. If you have something like that, please consider querying me!! #mswl

Would absolutely fall to my knees if someone comped anime series relating to JJK (particularly dark academia magic/alchemy elements with monsters & deep, enmeshed friendships that will destroy me- think GojoxGeto), Frieren, The Apothecary Diaries, Solo Levelling, etc. #MSWL

Happy Saturday! I’m open to queries today through Friday (1-7)!

Check out my #MSWL here!

Since I’m new here, I’ll do a #MSWL update soon, but if you’re a querying author, please note that short of some unforeseen circumstance I’m open to queries year-round! I’m looking for adult, YA, and MG projects.

A peek at her #MSWL !

Here's a quick bio--she's worn many hats, and fabulously, too!

We are so excited to announce a new member of the team - the wonderful @tajmccoywrites !

Hey, so if you're one of the (too many) laid off federal employees who also writes or illustrates books for kids, I'd love to hear from you. I'm always interested in nonfiction proposals for all age groups within kidlit, and science, math, and history will be even more important soon. #MSWL

Lastly, I'd love to see books featuring characters with celiac disease (which I have)--especially in the rom-com space. How does one navigate kissing on a first date when your partner has had gluten? This also goes for other autoimmune diseases and chronic illnesses. #MSWL

I'm always on the hunt for deeply romantic stories with a focus on a continuously building chemistry. #MSWL

Along the same lines, I think with tariffs on China where most books are printed, it will be more costly for publishers to invest in long projects. I'd love to see shorter SFF (under 100K words). #MSWL

I'd like to see more standalone fantasy. Not standalone with series potential. A true standalone. #MSWL

I am looking for escapist, high concept projects. It needs to have a really strong hook to differentiate itself in today's crowded market. #MSWL

Across the board, I'd like to see more funny books, but especially in picture book and middle grade. #MSWL
