these days, i’m hungry for:
(young adult)
- emotional, funny, UCB-inspired contemporary
- Wet Hot American Summer for teens
- something fun but hearty to do with LARPing
- Funny People for teens
- contemporary story about a storm, flood, blackout, or other natural disaster
- stories that happen over short timelines (like over 24hrs or a weekend) — a short but impactful story that changes your characters’ lives
- protagonists living with more obscure emotional and physical disorders and disabilities — diversity in mental and physical health — any genre
- diverse main characters — show me multicultural experiences in any genre
- dark, literary magical realism
- family stories that explore sibling relationships
- seldom-explored settings and locations — non-US, non-European
- for fantasy, i want to see really rich world-building
- i love a strong atmosphere and tone
(middle grade)
- really only looking for literary fantasy or magical realism
(adult)
- steamy romance that’s emotional and funny
- smart, upmarket suspense
- really interested in human behavior so characters must be richly developed
- stories with heart, like Where’d You Go Bernadette and The Memory Garden
(nonfiction)
- cookbooks
- the occasional funny blogger / pop culture project
- dog / pet stories
