In fantasy, I look for more grounded fantasy - more of this is explained on my site!

I am craving a creepy and twisted Rumpelstiltskin retelling!! If you've read The Land of the Lost Things by John Connolly, you know what I mean!

There is more than this small list on my site

growing apart, first crushes, first dances, all of the ups and downs of tween-hood!

Horror in MG: give me all the horror and spooky vibes please! Anything in the vein of The Jumbies, The Otherwoods, The Clackity, Last Laugh, and so on!

to lovers -- somebody making it out of the friendzone.

Thriller: I would love a psychological thriller! Something that really makes me think and has me on the edge of my seat!

In MG: I would love a funny contemporary story that is relatable to all -- friendship breakups,

Romance: I'm looking for a modern love story -- modern meaning within the year we are currently in. I would love anything that is funny, witty, and feels like I’m in a modern Kate Hudson movie. This is more for NA/Adult and in YA I would love a good rivals to lovers or friends

As a summarized version I am craving a gorgeous lyrical horror in the vein of Don't Let the Forest In by C.G. Drews, Your Blood My Bones, anything that can be comped to Andrew Joseph White or Jamison Shea. This goes for YA - Adult! (more on MG below)

My MSWL is still accurate on my site:
amandalitagent.wordpress.com/agent-mswl/

You can use my standard query form and then there will be a link for you to use a form I made specifically for marginalized authors: QueryTracker.net/query/3570

Marginalized authors include: Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Disability rep, and so on!

Hello! Just a quick update. I am still closed to queries as I have a little over 100 more to read through and then submissions to drool over as well! However, I am now open to marginalized authors ONLY at this time -- no expiration date on that at this moment. 1/?

🚨 Excited to announce that I’ve joined The Caldwell Agency as a literary agent primarily repping adult sci-fi and fantasy!
