#AgentInsight #Ladderbirdchirp Helllooo, So I recently had such a great time at the Philidelphia Stories Writer’s conference. It was a simple set of online 15 min sessions. Before we had our sessions though, there was a bit of confusion about what I was looking for— #MSWL

rrissachilds.bsky.social @rrissachilds.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

#DreamProject Helllooo, In light of the #WorldCup, I thought I should share that I would love a fútbol love story— not necessarily Love & Basketball (No horror story male lead), but close! Reminder: Still keeping an eye out for female athlete-led books! #MSWL

rrissachilds.bsky.social @rrissachilds.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

#Ladderbirdchirp Hello, everyone! I hope that your summer is kicking off well. Ladderbird’s is, with two June releases! ( Visit our instagram to see more…😉) I wanted to reach out and share a bit of encouragement, and hopefully clarity around rejection. #MSWL

#LadderbirdChirp/#EditorInsight Hello… So, here is a quick insight and update about Ladderbird: We have agents that are looking for historical romance / historical fantasy! Here is the catch: Many of our agents do not want World War historical romance. (Hint: Leah and Marrissa). #MSWL

#DreamProject I am rewatching this drama about a superstar and an aerospace engineer, and it made me think about how much I would love a project that explores the hardships of being conventionally attractive from the perspective of women and men. If someone has something like that…#MSWL

rrissachilds.bsky.social @rrissachilds.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

#DreamProject Something I have been really into lately is Women in business… Like a woman building a construction company or working Solar Energy… I would love a project focused on her building from the ground up… Contemporary Fiction #MSWL

#AgentInsight #MSWL So, I just finished a book that I had been anticipating for a few months. Mmmm… and it left me sort of shrugging my shoulders with acceptance. I felt like the story ended where it started. 😮‍💨😞 By the end, I wondered how so much had happened but nothing had changed.

#Gettoknowme Hello.... So, a quick thing to know about me is that, even as an agent, I am very big on details in storytelling!! Ii have been like this since university. For me, natural writing will always win over fan service or 16 climatic scenes, especially in romance projects. #MSWL

What is natural writing?: I am a firm believer in the idea that a writer creates a foundation, and the characters take control of the narrative. So, in the end, the characters take an identity of their own, that isn't controlled by the author's desires or authorial intrusion. #MSWL

rrissachilds.bsky.social @rrissachilds.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

#DreamProject #MSWL I had an epiphany: I would love a women’s fiction peace that explored the experience of a BIPOC woman as she moves to another country and builds a life in that country! Not necessarily Eat, Pray, Love - more the beginning of From Scratch.

#DreamProject Heyy... An epiphany that came to me as I was speaking with my sister about Off Campus yesterday: I would love a romance centered around either a female dominated sport or a woman in a male dominiated sport. (i.e. Ballet, Cheer, Gymnastics, Women's basketball, etc). #MSWL 🩰🤸🏽‍♂️🩰😭

#DREAMPROJECT Heeeyyy! Quick Note: I am a sucker for a wonderful Imperial Chinese Romance (If you can not tell from my wishlist)! I am absolutely passionate about those stories with powerful noble women and ruthless generals! So, if you have it, please send it my way! #MSWL

#EditorsInsight Because in my last editors call, I took over the conversation after the editor asked me why I want Imperial Chinese stories so much.... I don't have great Editors Insights from that meeting. What I will say: The editor is heavily into Sci-fi and climate change. #MSWL

#DREAMPAROJECT Heeeyyy, So, I had an epiphany this morning about a dream project: I would love a project about a women of color in architecture. I would love for it to be corporate, entrepreneurial, and growing into her own company. Romance would be great in it, but as a subplot. #MSWL

rrissachilds.bsky.social @rrissachilds.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

#OpentoQueries So… I had some amazing editors meetings this week, and I thought I would share some cool dream concepts that editors are open to: Epic Saga Multiverse Ensemble Character romance. Gender Role Reversal (Encounter) Historical Romance, but 90’s and Y2K. Transmigration.

rrissachilds.bsky.social @rrissachilds.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Well, Writers! I have settled this into my heart for dream Projects: I would love to have a modern day monarchy project! While I am thinking modern day American monarchy—- I would love a Korean or Chinese one too! Think Perfect Crown ( Disney+) or King 2 Hearts (Viki)!!

I recently did a really nice talk at my bachelor's university, and a student asked me a question that I couldn't really answer: What advice do you have for a writer that wants to be in the industry but is introverted? What is your advice for this writer?
