Regardless of genre, I'm seeking inclusive, intersectional voices & gorgeous line-level writing with emotionally compelling narratives. Some of my #MSWL includes:
—Horror that dismantles the gender binary & societal norms
—Occult conspiracies
—Cozy mysteries that center BIPOC/queer characters

✨QUERY UPDATE ✨

I was planning to close completely in March, but after some reflection I will be opening to BIPOC authors only. I will open back up widely in April.

Thanks! #amquerying

-Adult Mystery. I sold several I had on submission lately and really want to fill out my list here. Priority to mystery outside the U.S., younger protagonists, and diversity, especially queer and BIPOC. #MSWL I'm drawn to lighter mystery over crime or police stories.

-YA sports romance or contemporary romance. I really like almost all sports so pretty open here. Priority for sweet, light, romance plots, also queer and BIPOC stories. #MSWL

-Romantasy with some spice (a few scenes), though I'm usually more comfortable with longing and angst than actual spice. Priority here for outside of Europe, queer, and BIPOC. #MSWL

-I have several cozy fantasy/science fiction on my list already so I'm looking for diverse cozy SFF this time. I'd love a queer cozy or BIPOC cozy fantasy or science fiction with a great romance. I usually prefer romance secondary to plot, not the whole plot. #MSWL

I listened to WE SOLVE MURDERS by @richardosman1 .bsky.social, narrated by Nicola Walker.

I honestly adored it. Loved it more than TMC. I'd love to rep something like it but by a queer/bipoc/disabled author.

Queer and BIPOC romances! Desperate for more representation in my inbox. I'd love:
#MSWL
-contemporary with a speculative twist.

-Romances that feel like Talia Hibbert, Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry. Think delightful banter, big feels

-Monster F**er romances...

Finally, I'm open to nonfiction for adults and teens! I want to learn something new, discover unique angles on topics I love, and find accessible projects. I'm actively seeking memoirs/narrative; true crime stories; women's, POC, and LGBTQ+ issues; gardening/sustainability; and food content. #MSWL

Still figuring out my romance tastes, but if your manuscript has fake relationship, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, or late bloomer tropes, pls send it my way. I also love nerds! Neurodiverse, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ protags/love interests always welcome #MSWL

Tropes and other things I like to see in mysteries/thrillers: spunky girls, amateur detectives, blackmail, dark backstories, old houses, clever twists, libraries, ghosts and the supernatural, locked rooms, #BIPOC and #LGBTQ protagonists, folklore-inspired tales

For YA, I'm open to most topics, and I'm especially seeking these:
-post-Roe repercussions
-the dark side of momfluencing (from the kid's POV)
-contemporaries for the Emma Lord/Rachel Lynn Solomon audience from BIPOC voices

I’m closed to subs through Dec, but I really want to find a kid friendly cookbook from a Latinx or BIPOC author featuring recipes from their culture. Something that adults/kids can do together in the kitchen. If you have this or know someone who does, please msg me ❤️ #MSWL
