For romantasy: no more high fae, I have a full list! Give me more dramoine, Lumoine (iykyk), monster romance, angels (biblically accurate or otherwise), ghosts, paranormal Y2K vibes. Still I plead for orc romance, please someone send me some.

For cosy fantasy I want something that reminds me of Everdell or Redwall for adults, dragons (but like how Robin Hobb does them, aka perfectly), anything that has a D&D flair or has a monk/cleric/paladin/nun as a central character, magic tea shops and cute robots and I want to cry happy tears

Monsters, historical, trans and POC horror, horror romance, space survival. Onto fantasy: give me epic, political, sweeping and expansive. Murder mysteries at court, backstabbing gentry, fantasy of manners…

Horror! Proper, stop me from sleeping horror! Not for the general fic reader! I want aquatic, cults, folk, haunted house, urban legends, creepypastas, backrooms, religious sects, ‘is this still consecrated ground’ vibes, eldritch, cosmic, isolation, ‘good for her’, found footage,

Okay agents, I’m back from sabbatical so here’s a few things I’m particularly on the hunt for this year! #MSWL

Some *non client* books I've loved recently

Locke and Key vibes / Keyhouse but a boarding school #MSWL

#WritingCommunity
I think this video is crap. She certainly didn’t inspire the doll. BUT…I’d give my right arm for a manuscript inspired by this video minus the doll. It’s wicked! #MSWL

If your book can be described "like a warm hug," I would very much like to see it #MSWL

I’d love to a read small town murder fueled by decades old secrets #MSWL

🚨Reminder! TOMORROW I’ll host my first Pitch-Me Day here! I’ll make a post that you can pitch under, if I “heart” it, you get to skip the query and send me your proposal! #authorsky #booksky #writingcommunity #MSWL

I'm open to most things but actively DO NOT WANT: climate fiction, pro-religious texts and as always, any author that is not writing to uplift every child regardless of family, heritage, body, heart or soul.

And more niche - I'd love a cult story, a truly scary atmospheric ghost story (Think Dark Matter by Michelle Paver), The Traitors in a book, an Ace protagonist, a Yellowjackets horror and a sarky voice driven teen contemporary about Middle School and how hard it is!

And all the way up to Crossover and #NA - more of the same! College level stories. Cosy, epic, heartwarming romance.

#YA ! I really love YA but I like it a little off beat. Straight romantasy - prince and princess stories might not be for me - but give me queer, cozy and quirky and I am your agent! I want wow level writing and stories to sink into.

#MG ! Everyone is saying Middle Grade is tough right now but I can see it picking up soon! Please send me your sweeping magical adventure stories, voicey protagonists, spy stories and adventure thrillers. I want HOOK (and then you've got me line and sinker!)

I'm being super selective at the moment but I would love to see texts that pack a punch, make me laugh or catch my breath.
In this space - think Sam Usher, Mikey Please, X. Fang and Erika Meza. Incredible palettes, distinctive design and show stopper storytelling!

Illustrators! 🎨I am always on the hunt for amazing author illustrators of any and all age range. My tastes are wide ranging - from atmospheric and whimsical to bright and bold. But I like to see the hand behind the art and I want STORY in every piece!

After a super buzzy invigorating LBF week (and now that I'm taking a breath back in the Scottish hills) I'm thinking a little about my #MSWL and updating what I want! So - here's what I'm actively looking for at the moment.

I’d love a dark academia New Adult/Adult spicy Romance. Think a Doechii-like persona as a romantic lead. LGBTQ is (clearly) a bonus. #MSWL
