I listen to a lot of wildlife and conservationist podcasts, would love to represent something nonfiction for adults or children in this space. Unique viewpoint, or some specificity, thinking National Park After Dark, Tooth and Claw, Jasmin Graham, etc..... #mswl - is this my first on blsky?

I have got SUCH A NEED for fantasy with archaeological, paleontological, or anthropological elements at the minute, bonus if it's got a historical/Victorian and academic aesthetic similar to Emily Wilde #mswl

"Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don't read a lot of historical fiction older than that (like FOUR WINDS, OUR WOMAN IN MOSCOW, and Beatriz Williams in general)."

Before I close on May 9, if you have an adult, YA or MG that is grounded in reality but has a magical or fantasy component, you should send me that. Romance in YA or Adult preferred, but not required. #MSWL

(4) all the Donner Party vibes. a gritty survival story that you can’t look away from. I’m watching Yellowjackets right now and am absolutely hooked.

(3) YA dystopia - it’s time for the revival. incredibly high stakes, lots of action, multifaceted characters, maybe even a love triangle….?

(2) you already know I’m obsessed with Erin Hunter’s Warriors. please please please give me the next big animal series that can spawn a years long saga that’s really engaging for fans! maybe with an unexpected species? we have lots of 🐈‍⬛🐁🐇🐉s already… but I do love them

some absolute dream projects:
(1) something extremely atmospheric that captures The Real Florida (or a region you’re passionate about!) - I love when the setting of a story could almost be a character of its own

I’m looking for ALL genres of MG and YA, but might be slightly prioritizing….
- MG magical realism
- MG animal fantasy
- YA fantasy/sci-fi (DYSTOPIA)
- YA contemporary
- YA thriller
- historical fiction OR alternate history in both age groups

I do have one specific #mswl , as I was reminded tonight at our agency AMA. Think Downton Abbey meets Cosy Fantasy. I don’t care what happens in the throne room, the prince and princess and saving the world, etc. Give me the drama of the downstairs cast in the unseen halls and castle kitchens.

I am not a fit for contemporary issue books in MG, Sci-fi, or books that deal with grief or a character coming to terms with the death of a parent or grandparent.

In YA I am not currently looking for contemporary stories, rom-coms, sci-fi, or straight dystopian.

As always, I love contained settings with lush writing and would love a book set in a competitive sub-culture.

Looking forward to reading all that comes my way!

For #YA , I'm on the hunt for an unforgettable voice. High-concept stories that can be summarized in a single sentence, grounded fantasy, historical fantasy, unique paranormal, and historical with high stakes and universal themes from an underserved viewpoint or unique time in history.

For #MG think of me for spies! heists! and high stakes adventure. I am looking for standout voice, laugh out loud moments, and irresistible characters. I'd love MG fantasy in my inbox, but it needs to feel fresh and new. And I am interested in younger MG with illustrative potential.
