Speculative Fiction

Also #amquerying really looking for *grounded* SF&F right now—MG, YA, A.
✨Usually not the right match for high fantasy.
✨Love to be based in myth/folklore/etc.
✨Love to be grounded with a clear emotional arc.
✨My tastes tend quite literary for Adult.

I am still getting a large number of books that revolve around murder. My first reaction was frustration, but honestly, after giving it some consideration I think this could be a communication failure on my part. I'm going to be even more explicit with my guidelines. (1/5) #MSWL

· 6 Dec 2020

A reminder: if your action plot revolves around solving a murder, please don't send it to me. Please.

TW: weight / weight loss

Just a note that I’m not the agent for ‘weight loss makes the character prettier/more desirable’

#MSWL

Same goes for coding fat characters as evil. Absolute no go for me.

Alexandra Levick @AllieLevick

Hi all,

Just a friendly reminder that I am NOT the right person for murder mysteries/soapy stories about murder.

Honestly, these hit differently for me after having to give statements to police in a missing person/eventual murder investigation.

#MSWL (1/2)

For so many other people this kind of story is a fun, fictional escape, but for me it’s the worst thing that has ever happened in my real life.

I’m not the agent for these kinds of stories; please don’t send them my way. #MSWL (2/2)

Alexandra Levick @AllieLevick

I love stories that are set in extraordinary places where the stakes are high but also quite mundane--something that would, anywhere else or FOR anyone else, likely not be as much of a threat. (1/2)

#MSWL

Ex: I finally watched Apollo 13 last night and was very interested in the way a cold/flu (?) could have brought down the whole mission. (2/2)

As a reminder I am NOT looking for: text-only PB authors, screenplays, true crime, satire, military thrillers, erotica, police procedurals, or books that revolve around murder.

Please don’t send these projects to me.

Please send to my new submissions email (and no need to copy the old one!) Alevicksubmissions(@)writershouse(.)com

And a reminder that I’m not looking for these kinds of books 👇🏻

I had a wonderful conversation with @nicyulo about dark books and she said something so astute:

‘I like dark, but I like hope. Don't put me in the pit without giving me a ladder!’

This is exactly what I’m looking for! #MSWL times infinity
