MANUSCRIPT WISH LIST
I continue to value and search for underrepresented voices—with a special shout out to #latinx voices—but I truly love to see all genders, sexualities, ethnic and racial backgrounds, and all abilities in the stories I read and represent.
YA Contemporary: If you comp THE SUMMER OF BROKEN RULES, yeah, please query me. I do also love to see queer voices here, and all backgrounds represented. I think it’s especially key for this demographic. Mostly I want high concept hooks that have deep feels.
Historical mystery/gothic horror: I’m not kidding when I say I would love a grown up Flavia de Luce. Maybe with more poisons. Maybe she’s also a killer. I don’t know. Have fun with it and surprise me!
Fantasy/Romantasy: basically anything and everything. I love a retelling. I love a mashup. I love things cozy and sweet and I love things dark and spicy. Send it all my way.
Adult Romance: This echoes what I want to see in YA contemporary. But I’m also open to romance across all genre mashups.
But ultimately all of these things are just top of mind ideas, who knows what I want? Certainly not me! I don’t know what I want most days. I want to be surprised and swept away! Ultimately I want to see joyful, high concept work that blends heart, humor, and emotional authenticity. If you have that, even if it looks different from what I’ve listed here, please shoot your shot.
ANTI-MANUSCRIPT WISH LIST
I don’t like to be negative, but I also think it’s helpful for people to know what things will specifically not work for me.
+Animals as main characters. Just not my jam. I might be a cat lady, but am not really a pet person.
+Pregnancy in romance books. Listen, maybe it’s my struggles with infertility, maybe it’s the fact that I lived through three pregnancies, but I personally don’t love pregnancy as a major plot point in my romance.
+Stories focused on rape, sexual abuse, or incest.
+Extreme body horror is also not really in my wheelhouse. Especially around weight.
+I’m not especially interested in cop narratives or detective stories.
+Redemptive arcs for Nazis, books that whitewash slavery, stories featuring colonizers as heroes are not for me.
+A reminder that I’m not the best fit for overly complex high fantasy.
