๐ซ Paranormal adult rom com. Iโm still on the hunt for a vampire or witchy rom com, and queer it if you got it. Iโm talking charming, quirky, funny, steamy, tropey, just add witches and/or vamps. Easy peasy. ๐คฉ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ#MSWL

I havenโt even finished it yet and I can already tell you that if you can comp your book to Anna Northโs OUTLAW (hello witches, feminism, wild west, QUEER), Iโd love to see it. #MSWL

Literary Agent
For fantasy, I'm always ready for some fresh witches or vampires, particularly from marginalized creators. I'm not the best fit for high fantasy or sci fi, but if you've got something you'd comp to GIDEON (the writing, the snark, the queer), I'd love to take a look. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Now to specifics! I love ALL THE ROMANCE, w/ queer & BIPOC stories prioritized. Give me all your fave tropes starring queer, BIPOC, & QBIPOC characters, including rom coms, historical (more regency f/f PLEASE), contemporary romance, & paranormal w/ witches and/or vampires. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Can I get a pair of witchy sisters in an MG with a lush setting, fresh spins or underrepped magical systems, preferably by authors of color writing their own stories? Send them my way! ๐๐ป #MSWL

Literary Agent
In the YA realm, Iโm really only looking for queer stories, whatever genre right now. Gimme your witches, sisters, weird families, romances, & intersectional feminists kicking ass mkay thanks.

Literary Agent
As always with this time of year, send me all your witches. Iโd love an adult or gothic, adult horror, and/or adult light fantasy with an unforgettable & unique setting, a fresh take or system of magic, and gorgeous writing. Queer always a plus.

Literary Agent
And can we talk about sisters? Maybe witchy ones? In a queer & diverse YA novel? In a small town where douche bags get whatโs coming to them? Just saying, Iโd read it. #MSWL
