So many good ones! All of Carley Fortune’s are amazing and take place near beaches or lakes, and Annabel’s other books are all great! Others I’ve loved: Until Next Summer by Ali Brady, The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren, Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez, basically all of Emily Henry’s!

The Girl Who Was Taken has what’s probably one of the best plot twists I’ve ever read!

How about plus-size FMC in a contemporary romance? 👀

Thanks for posting this! I’ve been working on a novel inspired by my experiences with postpartum depression, and I worry there isn’t a market for it. I just tell myself I’ll worry about that once the book is done, but I’m hoping maybe these sorts of topics will be a bit more normalized by then! 🙃

I hope it’s mine! 🙈 I saw that you’ve closed to adult fiction… are you still considering adult fiction that’s already in your queue, or have you shifted your focus to only MG and YA? Thanks!

I would read the crap out of that to my toddler! Someone please write this! 😂 Must feature Entenmann’s cookies and freezer-burned petit fours!

Is this my chance to send you my unsolicited manuscript?! 😜 In all seriousness, thank you for making clear that what this agent is doing is not okay.

I just felt physically nauseous reading that account’s feed. There’s no worse feeling than scrolling and praying that the query you put so much time and thought into isn’t being made fun of behind your back.

My top two reads of the year so far are Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult and The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston! Veryyyy different books lol but both amazing! Also, I started a book club at my work last year and the unanimous fave of what we’ve read is Kill for Me, Kill for You by Steve Cavanagh!

Hope you’re not still on the elliptical 🤣 but if you’re still taking Qs— should a writer focus on one genre until they have an agent? I know agents may ask what you have in the pipeline, so I worry querying a contemp. romance while writing a thriller or women’s fiction might make me look unfocused.

So excited to hear this! I have a contemporary romance with Jewish and plus-size rep I’m hoping you’ll love! Is your wishlist staying the same or will you be updating? ☺️
