If I didn’t mention something, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good fit. Unless it’s a genre I don’t represent, you’re more than welcome to query!

This is getting long, but all of this (and more) is now on my MSWL page:

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/rose…

Send me contemporary fiction that gets a little weird, like the virgin birth premise of SMALL PLEASURES, the animal illness of SHARK HEART and the eerie horror of OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA.

I love mystery thrillers that explore a ‘true’ crime and its repercussions. Think A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER, MY FLAWLESS LIFE, NOTHING CAN HURT YOU and JACKAL.

I’m looking for upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues. THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING live rent-free in my brain.

I want gothic horror, space horror, psychological horror, folk horror, slasher horror, supernatural horror – scare me!

For science fiction, I’m looking for space opera and science fantasy like GIDEON THE NINTH, SOME DESPERATE GLORY and THE SCOURGE BETWEEN STARS. It doesn’t need to be fast and loud – TO BE TAUGHT, IF FORTUNATE is a favourite – but it needs to have major sf elements.

I’m always looking for EPIC FANTASY – give me big worldbuilding, multiple POVs, high stakes, and a cast of characters to get invested in.

Send me your cozy fantasy – meadows and cottages and stews and forests. I would love to see something Ghibli-esque that deals with big emotions and themes in a cozy setting.

Please don’t worry about something being too low or high heat to send to me. Different spice levels work for different books, and I’m open to all of it.

I’m also looking for speculative romance in general, whether it has a big SFF element like THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY and WINTER’S ORBIT or a romance with speculative elements like WITCHFUL THINKING and THE EX HEX.

Send me your FANTASY ROMANCE! I’m looking for equal strength in the fantasy and romance aspects – it needs to have solid plot and worldbuilding alongside off-the-charts chemistry. I would love to see more queer (especially sapphic) romantasy!

I want to get lost in a complex, emotion-driven romance that digs deep into themes of love and desire, in the vein of Tiffany Reisz and S.T. Gibson.

I’d love to see more romance featuring queer (especially aro/ace-spec) and autistic characters, whether those are central to the plot or just character traits. Talia Hibbert and Chloe Liese are the blueprint.

Give me ALL THE ROMANCE! I’m particularly interested in contemporary and fantasy romance, but I’m open to any subgenre, including historical.

I’m a big fan of unlikely pairings, sharp Emily Henry-esque dialogue, and epistolary elements.

HEA/HFN required.

For all genre fiction, I don’t need you to reinvent the wheel – I love genre conventions and I love tropes, and I want to see them done well from a fun, fresh perspective.

"Looking for essay collections comparable to works by Morgan Jerkins, Scaachi Koul, Jia Tolentino, Emily Nussbaum, Grace Perry, and Jill Gutowitz.”
