I’m particularly interested in historical fiction and nonfiction for adults and juveniles. Give me the hidden backstory on an iconic event or person, or a pivotal but lesser-known character or incident. I want stories of people and issues that moved the needle. #MSWL

Watching Shrill just reminds how desperately I need some POC plus sized protags in my YA and MG #mswl

TV has a new kind of heroine: The Latina genius. Here's why it matters latimes.com/entertainment-…1000% seeking MG (& YA & GN) w/ similarly strong, memorable Latinx leads (genius is not a specifically-required trait, but they *do* need to have agency, fresh/compelling story arcs, & be buoyed by masterful writing from creators who share the main character’s identity). #MSWL

I'm open to queries and currently very caught up. (Hint, hint) I'm hungry for ya romance, queer romance for YA and adult space. Queer fiction in general. Chick lit/romcom. Women's fiction. I'd love a beach read in winter. #mswl
I'm noticing a lot of queries in my inbox for things I don't represent, such as historical novels with no fantasy or science fiction elements, thrillers, and novellas in any genre (except for existing clients). I will not take on new clients with these kinds of books. #mswl

I need more kids in YA who are incarcerated, recently incarcerated, friends with incarcerated kids, etc and show them in all their multifaceted complexities. We are doing an absolute disservice to these kids in our fiction. #mswl
