Query Jessica!
Jessica read her first romance at the age of nine when she pilfered from a friend’s mother’s Harlequin Presents collection and was instantly hooked. Though her pilfering has passed, her weakness for alpha heroes and exotic settings remains. Her most recent #MSWL includes more rom-coms like The Roommate, Last Tang Standing and Flatshare. She’d also love to find more historical romance, cookbooks, and nonfiction that both entertains and educates.

Query Moe! *currently closed
Agent Website
A Pennsylvania native, she is mum of a rambunctious corgi who is a master at stealing treats and running agility courses. When not reading, Moe can most often be found in a pit orchestra, playing violin for her favorite musicals (careful, don’t ask her to pick her favorite show or you’ll get a 90 minute dissertation on Stephen Sondheim and/or general Broadway trivia). She is also an avid gamer and always awaiting the next Assassin’s Creed or Destiny release. Moe is currently closed to queries.

Query Tracy!
Agent & Author Website
Growing up, Tracy made it a personal goal to read every Nancy Drew Case Files in her school’s library and still has a soft spot for a good girl detective story. As an adult, she loves the sense of possibility in children’s and young adult literature – and can still empathize with the soul-crushing feeling that is mandatory gym class. Thought Tracy is currently closed to queries, when she re-opens, she’d love to see more author-illustrator projects in the picture book and graphic novel space.

Query Rachel!
When not working, Rachel is likely hanging out with her husband and chatty rescue cat trying new recipes, watching K-dramas, or playing World of Warcraft. Rachel is currently closed to queries, but when she re-opens will be keen to find mythology-inspired stories from regions other than Europe, as well as delicious books with food-centric plots like Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune.

Query Amanda!
Amanda came by her love of reading honestly, inheriting it from parents who always had books close to hand. Amanda currently lives outside of Washington, DC with her husband and two kids. When she’s not reading, she likes to cook, root for the Cubs, and spend as much time outside as she can. Some of her top ticket #MSWL items include a gothic horror like The Haunting of Hill House and any novel in the vein of Tana French.

Query James!
Agent & Author Website
James been a reader since picking up his first A Series of Unfortunate Events book, and ordering the sequels regularly through Scholastic book orders. Which is probably why he’s grown to love all things dark and all things humorous. Some of his recent #MSWL includes chilling novels in the vein of Simone St. James, and a suspense or mystery novel set in the 80’s and 90’s.

Get to know Emily
Query Emily!
Agent Website
Growing up, Emily would stay awake until sunrise to finish new YA releases and is currently going through that same phenomenon with middle grade fiction right now. She’s also a shameless lover of CW shows and teen period pieces. It’s unsurprising, then, that her #MSWL includes YA mythology retellings from non-western cultures, and a spooky (maybe even witchy!) middle grade with a lot of humor.
