My Manuscript Wish List®

What I’m looking for:

  • For fiction, interested in dark comedy, dry humor, coming of age, campy/pulpy sensibility, strong and uncommon settings, dysfunctional family sagas, offbeat coming-of-age, graphic novels, friend groups, ghosts, outcasts and underdogs, books that feel like new Netflix romcoms, stories with unconventional structures/forms, #OwnVoices projects.
  • For nonfiction, interested in the internet, gender, travel, design, forgotten histories, subcultures, mental health, pop culture, climate, family
  • In general, looking to champion books that bend the rules, raise voices that are often overlooked, and offer readers something unusually funny, beautiful, or surreal
  • No YA, please
