Psssst #amquerying ! I'm at a conference all weekend so I opened up a little early to queries so I don't forget to with how busy I'm about to be! I'll be open through Nov 7th!!

Can't wait to see what stories end up in my box ☺️💜

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/

Content I cannot read:

Please do not send me these, they are very sensitive to me so I would appreciate not having to read them.

On page rape or sexual abuse
On page child abuse or child death
On page death of a parent esp of cancer
Abusive LIs (that the MC ends up with) 15/

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!

And also for ALL ages and categories, if you have a main theme of grief or processing grief I would love to read it! 13/

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/

...Also PLEASE send me sci fi horror. I want to be terrified like I was with Dead Space. Show me cosmic terror and science getting out of control, science breaking loose! I want all the chaos! 9/

Adult/YA Sci Fi: The more science the better! Extrapolations on current science/tech is my jam. I would also love a story set in space/space station, or set after an apocalypse....8/

...fantasy romance/romantasy and obvs anything with horror elements. I also really want queer norm worlds, accessible fantasies and diverse casts (please give me more disability rep in fantasy!) 7/

Adult/YA Fantasy: I am aching for cozy fantasy, low stakes feel good stories. Fresh twists on vampires and werewolves are also on my list! Magical food or music, yes please send it! If you can comp a Studio Ghibli title 👀 I also love genre blends like sci fantasy ... 6/

MG SciFi: I would love something set on a space station or space ship or set hundreds of years into the future! Kids exploring new worlds a la the Robinsons is a big yes!

MG Mystery: I am open to this genre so long as it is blended with one of the other genres above! 5/

MG Fantasy: I honestly really love it all, but am really wanting a magic school with diverse cast and magical creatures (esp dragons!!)

MG Horror: Again I love it all, but would love a summer camp setting, haunted house/school, monster hunters and sentient natural settings 4/

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/

From a previous post, here are my expected response times:
Queries: 6 weeks
Partials: 8 weeks
Fulls: 12 weeks

If these change I will post about it and of course feel free to nudge if you haven't heard in these times! Now on to the good stuff 2/

Time for a #MSWL thread!

Just up front everything I'm looking for can be found here: belcastroagency.com/submit-a-story/

I will be opening on May 1st and close late May 7th. I will be opening the first week of every month going forward so that I can answer everyone in a timely manner. 1/

Just a reminder that the box will be closing after the 18th! My MSWL is pinned and on the Belcastro website!

I have gotten so many amazing queries and I am taking my time on reading each and every one. My maybe pile is way too big 😅 but I do promise a response to every query!

What I'm Not Looking For:
