WHEN I’M OPEN

I’ll be open to queries beginning in January. If you’d like to be notified the moment submissions reopen, you can add your email below for a single reminder.

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR (MSWL LITE)

I’m interested in:

• Commercial and upmarket fiction

• Genre fiction with strong voice and crossover appeal

• Projects that are emotionally grounded, well-positioned, and clear about their audience

I’m especially drawn to work that balances ambition with readability and trusts its own voice. (For a full, updated MSWL, please see my Manuscript Wish List in January.)

BEFORE YOU QUERY

Before You Submit

You don’t need perfect pages — but you do need a manuscript that’s ready to be read and a query letter that clearly explains what your project is. If you’re still revising or clarifying your positioning, that’s okay. Take the time you need. When you’re ready, I look forward to reading your work. I know querying can feel overwhelming. My goal is to make this process as transparent and humane as possible.
