Agents, I am starving for something ROMANTIC. Lush writing, big emotions, pining, a love-conquers-all mood: I want to fall in love! #mswl
Literary Agent
So, if you are an author of quirky, adventurous, challenging and bold sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, please be in touch. And if you are an author who isn’t quite sure whether your work is for the YA or adult market, query me and we’ll figure it out.

I’m particularly eager to find voices from historically underrepresented perspectives in adult SF/F and horror, and as a queer man, I am especially drawn to LGBTQIA+ and feminist perspectives for those genres as well. #MSWL

I am so excited to announce that I am now representing adult and crossover sci-fi, fantasy, and horror! MG & YA will continue to be a large part of my list (and I'm always looking for more!), but now I'm also actively pursuing and selling genre projects in the adult space.Literary Agent
I’d love to see MG (or probably any age range really) with more animal companions. #mswl #amwriting

Hey #MSWL: Am seeking a great love story with dimension, humor, and a strong commercial hook. Think ONE DAY or THE LIGHT WE LOST, but not necessarily a weepy. I am esp eager to read #ownvoices stories or underrepresented narratives in this space.Renewing this #MSWL ask for 2020: Please please send me a big page-turning love story! I want a ONE DAY IN DECEMBER, GHOSTED, or THE UNHONEYMOONERS. Extra points for belly laughs...

Since I'm not feeling poetic today, I'll just bluntly say I want a delicious, dramatic, feverish gothic love story. No powerless women trapped in attics please. Thanks! #MSWL

Been on the hunt for author-illustrators to bring to Knopf who have fresh stories to tell and diverse styles. New perspectives, art that makes my heart sing, irresistible characters. This is the top of my vision board for 2020. Universe - and agents - let’s make it happen! #mswlSame! Would love to add more author-illustrators to my list #mswl #picturebooks #graphicnovels #amagenting

I need more puzzles, murder, and mystery in my box like TRULY DEVIOUS. YA and MG only. I'm not a fit for your regular cozy mystery novels. #mswl

-More nonfiction in MG and YA, esp science, art, history, etc. NF graphic novels are great here too.
-I'd love to see more mysteries, in MG, YA, and adult. I'm really into Veronica Speedwell and Veronica Mars.
-More intergenerational stories in MG, YA, and SFF. #MSWL

-More graphic novels, especially queer OGNs. I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes and Amar Chitra Catha, but I got back into comics through queer stories.
I <3 Steven Universe, She-Ra, THE PRINCE & THE DRESSMAKER, NIMONA, LAURA DEAN KEEPS BREAKING UP WITH ME, & many others #MSWL

-More underrepresented creators, esp creators of color and disabled creators, telling #ownvoices and stories from the margins that need to be shared. #MSWL
-More stories that show the range of experiences of black and brown people, especially in MG and YA.
