Fantasy/Speculative: I'm looking for magic & magical beings alongside mortals in charming places or unforgettable time periods, like Katherine Arden’s The Winter of the Witch, or VE Schwab’s The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (doesn't have to be witches—fae, djinn, gods are all good options) #MSWL

Finally, I want more fantasy: fresh and unexpected takes on romantasy and more cozy fantasy. I'm pretty particular about my fantasy as it needs to be immediately accessible and character focused, instead of solely world-building focused. I'm not drawn to classic fantasy unless there's a twist #mswl

In the romance space, I'm looking for it all: rom-coms, rom-drams, and any other romance genre blend you can think of.

I'm also eager to see more speculative novels in my queries that are grounded in our world and examine a social issue with a singular or limited surrealist device #mswl

I'm an agent at InkWell Management looking to expand my adult fiction list and my queries are open! I love stories with humor, a message, unique twists, and diverse perspectives. My taste leans commercial and hopeful (the world is dark enough) #mswl

Would you ever be interested in rom-coms for younger readers? Like a first crush kind of rom-com?

For YA, absolutely. For middle-grade or tween, it would have to really fit the age group and have much more going on in the plot beyond the romantic element, if that makes sense #mswl

It's worth noting that while I'm really looking for rom-coms, and I enjoy romantic elements in fiction and in YA, I'm not the right fit for category romances #mswl

I'm open to elements of horror if they are psychological, suspenseful and/or humorous. But I'm definitely not one to read anything gory or slasher-ish. #mswl
