I want to end this by saying I am so excited to read your work and thank you so much for entrusting me with your stories! Books have been my greatest love since I was very young and I am honored that I now get to help bring them to life! 16/

What I'm Not Looking For:

I'm not the best fit for non fiction, chapter or picture books. Those are other Belcastro agents better suited to those! I'm also not the best person for pro-cop or military story lines. 14/

And for ALL AGES, graphic novels! I would love to see any of the above genres in a graphic novels and I adore manga art styles! If it's queer, send it here!

Adult Thrillers: I recently found a LOVE for this and am craving to read more. I love a dark academia setting, serial killers, stalkers, locked in a room/home. I love not being able to figure something out until the end, give me unexpected twists and turns, keep me guessing! 12/

...And again, blend this in with something else and I am ALL about it. I also have an extreme soft spot for post apocalyptic horror and all things zombie 😍 11/

Adult/YA Horror: It takes a lot to scare me, so hit me with your best shot! I want to be terrified so that I can't sleep. I want sentient settings, scares that mess with your mind, where the lines of reality are blurred...10/

I am focused on representing marginalized voices. I will not ask you to identify unless you feel comfortable doing so, but I am dedicated to uplifiting those voices and want my client list to reflect that.

I'm only looking for Adult, YA and MG. I'll go through each below 3/

What I'm Not Looking For:

I'm not the best fit for any nonfiction, women's fiction, chapter books or picture books. Those are other Belcastro agents' wheelhouses but not mine! I'm also not the best person for stories with pro cop or military storylines. 11/?
