Here it is! My manuscript wishlist:

As a physically disabled, queer woman of color, I’m always looking for authors and stories from these and other marginalized communities. Part of my mission in becoming an agent is to do my part to help the publishing industry better reflect the colorful world we live in today.

*I’m currently closed to queries, but if you happen to have manuscripts that match my two “weirdly specific” categories below, please submit via query manager here.

Weirdly Specific:

  • On the hunt for a full throttle adult k-pop horror novel, something that remixes the themes of Natural Beauty, Holy Boy and Gorgeous Gruesome Faces, but feels even more unhinged.

  • An adult cozy girlie-pop lit RPG that puts a fresh feminist spin on games like Stardew Valley, Moonlight Peaks and novels like Dungeon Crawler Carl and Legends and Lattes.

Adult Fiction:

  • Upmarket — voicey page-turners with buttery prose and memorable characters like Julie Chan Is Dead by Liann Zang, Your House Will Pay by Steph Cha, The Fortunes of Jaded Women by Carolyn Huynh, and We Love You, Charlie Freeman by Kaitlyn Greenidge

  • Elevated, high concept genre — Romance! Fantasy! Thrillers! I’m open to a wide variety of genres as long as the story has something a little extra special: couples with off-the-charts chemistry, or that deliciously addictive “can’t-stop-reading-this” feeling. Examples: Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross, My Sister, The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite, House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas; Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

Adult Non-Fiction:

  • Pop culture analysis, humor, essays — anything tv, movie, film-related, and/or that can make me laugh (or cry). Examples: One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter by Scaachi Koul; Wow, No Thank You. by Samantha Irby; Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino

  • Personal growth, science, tech — well-researched “big ideas” like Grit by Angela Duckworth and Stuff Matters by Mark Miodownik. Also always looking for interesting, diverse perspectives like Lab Girl by Hope Jahren and Brotopia by Emily Chang

  • Sociology, anthropology, journalistic narrative — anything that expands a reader’s worldview or gives an intimate look into a specific community, vocation or fandom. Examples: From Here to Eternity by Caitlin Doughty, Murderland by Caroline Fraser, anything by Mary Roach

YA Fiction:

  • Romance! Fantasy! And stuff that makes you cry — you know the stuff: To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han; The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan; The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

*Note: I am not looking to represent picture books at this time; will consider select middle grade.
