would love to see more YA thriller in my inbox! #mswl

"I’d love to see projects like FROM HERE TO ETERNITY by Caitlin Doughty, YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS by Chani Nicholas, and THE RADIUM GIRLS by Kate Moore in my inbox."

I should also mention that I only take on 1-2 new authors a year. I am not looking for new clients very actively but wanted to open for submissions since I've been closed for a longer period.

Not hard exclusions but I would be unlikely to take on any MG or cosy crime since my list here is very full. I am also not a big reader of gangland, anything overtly political, or men going on a journey of self-discovery fuelled by drugs (we receive more of this than you may think).

Horror: Folk horror, body horror, supernatural, sci-fi blend, gothic. Less keen on creepy real-world set horror where the resolution is that someone doesn't know what’s going on because they’ve been drugged.

Sci-fi: cool concepts, and the softer side: anything comped to Becky Chambers, crime/mystery or a beautiful love story that happens to be set in space etc, but also space operas.

Fantasy: open to all genres but would have more space for something with a subgenre like romantasy, historical mystery, dark fantasy or cosy. I would be verrry excited to find something that feels like a cosier, more feminine version of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

Love stories: concept-led rom-coms, sweeping epics, or something that will break my heart. I love yearning, longing, slow-burn or the intensity of first love - but also open to the steamier the stuff.

I am looking for fun concepts above all - something with a genuine elevator pitch. X meets Y, X but with Y, ‘Imagine a world…’ , ‘What if…’, fresh retellings etc.

In general I like anything high emotion, and I tend to veer more towards cosy/feel-good than eg psychological thrillers. However, like most people, I contain multitudes so am also excited about weird, creepy stuff.

I have not been good at social media since the demise of twitter (RIP), but thought I should come on to say that I am open for queries until end of August.

I am open to most fiction genres (do check our website) so this is not to restrict, but to do a little #mswl (below).

"Looking for nonfiction like Joseph McCormack's BRIEF: MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT BY SAYING LESS."

"I'm seeking romantasy with strong fantasy and romance elements. It needs to have solid worldbuilding and plot as well as off-the-charts chemistry."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

I want a book that comps to RIDE OR DIE #MSWL

"Thiller/Suspense novels that invoke good satire in popular, cultural topics like wellness and women's experience."
Carly Watters #MSWL

I’m desperate for the Grace & Rocky dynamic but in MG. Unlikely allies turned fierce friends, unwavering loyalty, high emotional stakes, and kids who'd cross galaxies for their friends! #mswl #MGLit #KidLit

"I am interested in workplace novels, especially if they involve unconventional jobs or dynamics, like SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE TYPING and I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

"I am craving immersive second world science fiction."
