I would love to see more stories rooted in Solar Punk, envisioning the future incorporating dope environmental/societal progression, vs. The white colonial, often racist & industrial aesthetics of Steam Punk.I've never felt a connection to Steam Punk nor welcomed to the genre. pic.twitter.com/NkWIs57BLB

Send me your novels about hard-earned anger, about generational inheritance, both physical and non. Send me your novels about colonialism and the disservice of American influence. I want to see it all! Please and thank you!

Send me your novels about music, about lust, about people fighting for space in male-presenting spaces. Send me your novels about gentrification, about black and brown people trying to survive in this country, in this world. Send me your novels about joy.

Atmospheric novels are my jam. Transport me to your country, city, town, village. I want to see and smell the food, hear the sounds of the people, of nature, of the music, feel the fabrics, immerse myself in the world within the pages.
Editor
Short story collections! I'd love to put one on the Tiny Rep Books list. Give me your collections about race, love, home, identity, belonging, power dynamics, etc.

I am forever enthralled by millennial novels with a crackling, fresh voice set in big cities featuring BIPOC characters grappling with life in various ways. Extra points if the novels are set in NY the outer boroughs.
Editor
Sibling stories! I am always interested in contemporary stories about siblings that have endured shared trauma and that follow them on their journeys as they deal with the aftermath.
Editor
I am really hoping to acquire a sweeping family saga by a Latinx writer with gorgeous, lush, lyrical prose. Bonus points if there are elements of magical realism.

Hey agent friends! I've been really craving some more middle grade submissions in my inbox. I love stories that focus on friendship, family, and culture--regardless of genre--with an eye towards projects by authors from the margins. Please send me your MGs 🙏🏼 #mswl
