It pains me to do this, but I'll be closing to YA/MG queries for a while starting at the end of this month. My focus right now is on signing adult literary/upmarket fiction & nonfiction, and I want to give fair consideration to my existing backlog of kidlit queries. #MSWL

"I am always looking for creepy horror stories for middle grade, young adult, or adult readers.I’m seeking an upmarket horror fairy tale retelling."

I've given my what I'm looking for a bit of a tidy up. If you are a writer of literary, upmarket, and book club fiction seeking representation, I'd love to hear from you! #MSWL #amwriting #amquerying

#1 this is absolutely insane #2 where is my bitingly sharp upmarket women's fiction novel about the wellness industry and MLMs and maybe cults #mswl

I am really craving stories with more upmarket or literary voices—especially in a quieter story with a really unique or surprising premise.

"Upmarket fiction I loved (from the past year or two): LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU, NOTES ON AN EXECUTION, THE GLASS HOTEL, and MARRYING THE KETCHUPS.”

"I'm interested in upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues – THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING are two of my all-time favourite books."

Upmarket! Something commercial w/gorgeous writing, featuring people who are not okay bc sometimes we're not okay. I want to feel the spectrum of emotions. Break my 💔, tell me the story out of order or backward. Familial or friendship stories or just a strong cast of characters.

I’m currently closed for queries UNLESS you have an upmarket novel where cats play a major part. It’s my wish so I’m putting it out there. You can DM me an elevator pitch - only if the mss is currently polished and ready tho! #catbook #mswl
