Agent friends! My first read of the year was Tasha Suri's THE ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA, and I loved it! If you have any YA projects with similar elements (lady knights, sapphic yearning, time loops, stories about stories, did I mention sapphic yearning??), please please send them my way! #MSWL

“I want nonfiction proposals that offer a new perspective on an entertaining topic in any of these categories: art, the environment, pop culture, science, psychology, cultural history, and the occult.”

"I am seeking atmospheric, voice-driven fantasies with expansive world building and slow-burn (but angsty!) romance."
Marina Green #MSWL

"I want literary and upmarket fiction about contemporary life, queer characters, mental health, friendship, nostalgia, existential dread—anything with 'cool girl' or 'sad girl' vibes."

I also have a more detailed list on manuscriptwishlist.com, and update my instagram #mswl highlight reel with things that pop up throughout the year.

As always, I’m looking for projects in the MG, YA, and Adult fiction space. #mswl

Hello 2026! As we get closer to the new year—and my query inbox reopening—it’s time for me to update what I’m looking for. I saw a lot of fabulous projects in 2025 (but more on that later), and I’m excited about what I might find in 2026. #mswl

"In adult fiction, I'm seeking horrors about religious deconstruction and cults."

“I'd like proposals for single-topic personal development books. Ex: ALL THE GOLD STARS, THE PERFECTIONIST’S GUIDE TO LOSING CONTROL, HOW TO DO NOTHING, REST IS RESISTANCE.”

"I would love an atmospheric environmental thriller or mystery akin to WILD DARK SHORE by Charlotte McConaghy or FORCE OF NATURE by Jane Harper where the wild setting is a main character."
