#MSWL I’m looking for fiction that changes how I see the world after I close the book.

Upmarket, literary-commercial, elevated suspense, speculative with emotional weight, unforgettable voice. A story that I want to keep reading.

"Send me speculative fiction in the vein of HANDMAID'S TALE or 1984, but with a modern twist."

I just devoured the second Meihan Booey (THE ENIGMATIC MRS INGRAM) and

1. If you like the Emily Wilde / cozy paranormal / myths minding their own business space, read these ASAP. They're delightful speculative mysteries set in Singapore, I'd read a hundred of them.

"I would love atmospheric and speculative mysteries and thrillers that skew psychological and cerebral with unreliable narrators. Stories where the setting is the main character and characters have full and dynamic backstories!"
Marina Green #MSWL

"I love a strong romance plotline in a speculative setting, like THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY and WINTER'S ORBIT."

In YA, I love novels with some kind of mystery threaded within, bonus if it's with a speculative twist! I'm on the lookout for anything irresistible, transporting, and propulsive! (2/4)

I'm late for #MSWL day but better late than never? 👀 I represent YA and adult across literary, upmarket, and speculative spaces, and am hungry to find my next obsession that I just can't put down! (1/4)

Excited to finally share my 2026 MSWL which has expanded into Middle Grade, Adult/YA genres for Upmarket Literary Fiction, Romance, Soft Sci-fi, and more. 🫶🤍✨ #MSWL

For clarity, I only represent age categories MG and up. For MG & YA I’m open to all genres fiction and nonfiction. On the adult side I only work on genre-adjacent or genre-lite fiction (no straight contemporary or anything that wades too deeply into the genre space). #MSWL
