@ecniumata & I are open to queries! Particularly on the hunt for genre-blends (like hist/SFF) & sharp contemp w/ spec elements or inventive mixed-media. Anything comped to Grady Hendrix, Freya Marske, Mona Awad, Victor LaValle, T. Kingfisher, Carissa Orlando & Simone St. James

Creative twists on the classics (including folklore/myths + YA)
o MOST ARDENTLY YOURS
o A PHO LOVE STORY
o THE DEATH I GAVE HIM
o THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
o THE BALLAD OF BLACK TOM

#MSWL

Messed-up locales (across genre + YA)
o THE SEPTEMBER HOUSE
o INCIDENTS AROUND THE HOUSE
o DEAD SILENCE
o THE LUMINOUS DEAD

#MSWL

Queer and/or BIPOC fantasy (contemporary, urban, second world, etc.) with lush settings and intriguing magical systems (+YA)

#MSWL

Just re-upping my #MSWL with a nice bite-sized version for MSWL Day 🩷 with a few new things

Non-police solving crimes (+YA)
o BRIGHT YOUNG WOMEN

For the next two weeks we are open to adult upmarket/literary/commercial fiction (speculative elements including horror, etc. are OK!) and then we'll open to remaining genres like SFF
