…but if you’re writing SFF in these age categories and you don’t think any of this describes your book, try me anyway! I am surprised often and I read so widely in this space that it’s always worth a shot.

In YA SFF: I prefer my romance to be a b-plot, and would love more atmosphere-forward storytelling à la Ava Reid or Axie Oh. Especially interested in folktale/myth-inspired stories from underrepresented voices.

In adult SFF: give me big and epic in scope without sacrificing character work. Touchpoints I’ve been thinking of lately are THE STARS UNDYING, BARU CORMORANT, and INK BLOOD SISTER SCRIBE. I love intricate worldbuilding and being tricked by the narrative!

I'm only looking for sci-fi in the adult space and prefer distant-future space-set stories. I love SF that is kind-of-sort-of-fantasy, like Yoon Ha Lee & Tamsyn Muir.
