Since it’s happened to me three times in the past 24 hours, here’s a tip for querying authors: When nudging an agent with an offer of rep, include your deadline to respond to the offering agent (standard is two weeks). The vague era is the best—just don’t be *too* vague! 😉
If your MC/love interest gives Kaz Brekker or Thomas Shelby vibes, I am... intrigued. Don’t judge—I can't resist a dangerous mind & I love a good heist❤️🔥 #MSWL

I’ve been seeing a LOT of high fantasy in my inbox lately, which is wonderful! But I’d love to balance it with more:
🌖low fantasy
🌗historical fiction
🌘new adult
🌑dark academia
Especially with tropes like slow-burn, forced proximity, ⚔️to♥️, and forbidden love✨
#MSWL
#MSWL I'm in the mood this weekend to dive into manuscripts with:
🗡️Fantasy with deadly competitions/games and high-stakes
🗡️Rich historical fiction infused with grounded fantasy elements
🗡️Unique retellings
Send them my way if you think we might be a fit! 📚✨
The best decision I made this week was adding this to my query form:
"You're welcome to provide a link to a moodboard or Pinterest album if you'd like!"
I absolutely love seeing them🥰
I am open to queries! #WritingCommunity#MSWL
Always in the vibe for magic and historical settings, dark academia, enemies to lovers (to enemies!), slow burn, unique curses, bad bargains, and morally gray characters I can't resist loving☺️ (NA, adult)
Quick update: I’ve responded to all queries!
If you're waiting to hear back on a full, I'll get back to you soon.
For those waiting to query me, I intend to reopen submissions after reviewing all the fulls.
Thank you for your patience☺️
