V. K. Ruiz | Author, Editor, Lit Agent

Should be opening in April—I hope!

I hope to open in April 💖

If you think you’d prefer to query with a different one that’s fine. Or you’re welcome to wait to hear back on the first.

I’m not sure what Jess’ timeline is looking like right now but feel free to send a query and if it’s something that I would like to see more of I’ll check in with her first.

I haven’t talked about this much on here but astrology is a special interest of mine. I’m actually ISAR certified 🥰 so if you have astrology-related stuff (fiction or nonfic) - we may vibe 💕 #mswl manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/v-...

There are a lot of #MSWL posts going around and I love that!
I just want authors to remember NOT to self reject.
Your book doesn’t have to be a perfect match to a MSWL
If the agent takes fantasy and you have fantasy take your shot! ❤️
Don’t stress it!

Nonfic: I really want to work with someone writing about cultural spiritual practices. Like from a grounded, researched approach that is not aiming to make it necessarily more accessible but aiming to capture the roots and history of the practice. #mswl manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/v-...

I would love to see something more upmarket that plays around with media and time the way Daisy Jones’s and the Six does. #mswl

Super eager to see some folk horror. Especially if it toes the line of speculative without going full paranormal. A kind of “am I imagining it or is that deer kind of fucked up?” vibe 😉 #mswl

As soon as I get time off from work I just start cooking
