My query inbox reopened today! I'm not quite to inbox zero like I'd hoped, but I have either passed or requested additional material for every query I received prior to closing my inbox at the end of October 2025. If you queried me and haven't heard back, follow up over email or QueryTracker.

SURPRISE!!!
Ecstatic to share that I am now an Associate Literary Agent at Storm Literary Agency! I'm so excited to continue working with this talented group in this new capacity.

For an idea of what I'm looking for, I'll drop a link to my wishlist 👇

I'll open to queries 2/16!

"Send me science-based women's health, perinatal health, maternal health, and women's mental health like THE GOSPEL OF WELLNESS and WHO IS WELLNESS FOR?"
Carly Watters #MSWL

"I'm looking for fantasy novels with shorter word counts and immersive worldbuilding. Ex: GODKILLER by Hannah Kaner, EMILY WILDE'S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAERIES by Heather Fawcett.”

"I'm looking for crime fiction like Ian Rankin, Chevy Stevens, Patricia Cornwell, and Lee Child."

I just finished Beth is Dead and I would love to find a clever, modern-day retelling of a classic that spins it on its head. If you have something like this, DM me! 🥰 #MSWL

Writers--I'm open to queries for the next few weeks. I'm looking for YA/MG/PB and adult and kid NF. Take a look at my #MSWL and see if we might be a good fit!

"I'm on the lookout for Gothic horror and horror/romances that are fresh, unnerving, and get under my skin."
alexandragrana.bsky.social #MSWL

"I want contemporary romance with a really strong b-plot (think THE ARC by Tory Henwood Hoen)."

"Send me fungi horror or horror that’s very cerebral, gets under your skin—where something is very wrong, but you just can’t put your finger on it…"
Marina Green #MSWL

I'm open to queries!

I'm open to:
[Illustrators]

OK haven't updated my #MSWL but while I'm still open wanted to let yall know I'm being super picky about fantasy. If you have:

-grumpy FMC / golden retriever MMC

-MM written by a gay man

-FMC is actually popular and loved and falls

-Grounded fantasy in Asia or Africa

Gimme!

"I love cookbooks with a unique angle, such as the ROASTING TIN series, COOKING FOR ONE, and MIDNIGHT CHICKEN (& OTHER RECIPES WORTH LIVING FOR)."
