Still hunting for my JOKER X VICIOUS book…
Literary Agent
Dark dark dark DARK. GIMME DARK
And just to be clear—this doesn’t mean “make it as bloody/gross/crude/disgusting as possible (i.e. violence for no reason, sexual assault, etc.). I’m talking themes. Emotions. Difficult—impossible—decisions. Angry, conflicted protagonists.
Literary Agent
Lyrical voices in YA. This is ALWAYS a want, in every genre I accept.
Literary Agent
YA fantasy! I’m all about witchy blood magic—darker is better (does anyone see a trend here yet). Queer! Enemies to lovers! Magic with consequences! Tangled friend/family relationships! Unique plot lines with lots of tension/conflict! AND DON’T FORGET THE KISSING I NEED KISSING
Literary Agent
Haven’t found my novel written in verse yet—particularly wanting this for YA!! Contemporary preferred—again melancholy, mental health/queer centered, darker is better. DYING FOR LYRICAL VOICES HERE.
Literary Agent
Still DYING for horror—give me Haunting of Hill House vibes. Give me trauma. Give me deep dark black emotions. Give me anger. Give me layered relationships and feelings.
Literary Agent
YA contemporary! I’m dying for a queer story revolving, especially one revolving around mental health. I want unique concepts and HIGH STAKES and lots of conflict. I tend to be drawn to more melancholy tones in contemporary—but adore humor and light sprinkled throughout!

#MSWL I am DYING for a queer, #ownvoices contemporary surrounding mental health
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD GIVE FOR A QUEER STORY ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS WITH A LYRICAL VOICE
(hint: it rhymes with bowl and the devil would be happy to trade me)

As much as I'm dirty trash for the 'innocent girl gets with tall, dark, and kinda evil dude' trope, I would really kill for the opposite too. Where are the stories with the sweet, naive guys and their evil, deadly girlfriends?? Is that too much to ask??Literary Agent
