My bookshelf is 50% character-driven sff/speculative/spooky, 50% realistic contemporary/historical (coming-of-age romance, mystery/thriller, action-adventure, and verse novels), mostly by BIPOC, queer, or traditionally underrepresented folks, & my taste very much reflects that.

#amwriting #amquerying I want:
👀Psych&domestic suspense set behind closed doors of exotic/aspirational/unusual places
🦻Crime&thrillers w/ own voices disabled characters as main protagonists
👯‍♀️Historical crime&adventure w/ a focus on women’s stories and/or queer narratives #mswl

Anything akin to #MDZS I'm all in for. Give me adventure, slow burns, mythology, dark lore, elevated magic systems, men with pretty hair

Fall 2023 #MSWL
YA thrillers or rom-coms with a fresh twist
MG magical realism or high concept action/adventure
Illustrators or author/illustrators

YA and Middle Grade Fiction

Light-hearted, action adventure, character driven, coming of age books that can tackle big themes and doesn’t shy away from important topics. Books with romance but are romances. Thoughtful stories about character over spectacle.

Adult Fantasy

Villains being truly and genuinely villainous, romance at the forefront but politics at the core, family dynasties, high stakes adventure, historical dramas, highly aesthetic spaces, thoughtfully done ensemble casts with series potential. Give me more Fourth Wing

You may say you book is the most bonkers thing ever written, to which Maggie would say ‘send my way😎’

#MSWL in action/adventure or thriller please.

If you have something like this along the lines of James Rollins books, please email me at any point.

I’m also looking for some fun and light spooky MG vibes — like goosebumps meets ghost busters with a light adventure type theme? Super specific, I know. Any takers? 😂

🚨 Alice is caught up on queries and will be closing for the summer on 13th July. She's looking for YA romantasy, contemporary romance and comedies, MG comedies and adventure, teen, and YA and MG graphic novels, plus select adult romance.
