Currently Looking For
I am actively seeking compelling teen and adult fiction across genres that reflect the diverse world we live in and feature complex characters who hop right off the page. I like to say I edit books about Big Feelings — love, grief, and everything in between. Wishlist constants (YA and adult): – romantic comedies – friendship stories – magical realism – verse novels – epistolary – retellings with a fresh twist – Gothic novels – high concept fantasy – stories about tough topics that make them accessible to teens (YA only) – book club fiction (adult only) – family sagas (adult only) – historical featuring feminist protagonists (adult only) My taste is extremely varied, but that just keeps it interesting! 😉 Ultimately I want nothing more than a great book that will let me escape into a new world or teach me something about mine.
Submission Guidelines

Consultations As a new addition from The Manuscript Academy, #MSWL’s educational sister company, we are now offering ten-minute e-meetings with a select group of our agents and editors to discuss your work, what you can do better–and how to maximize your chances of success in the submissions process.
