Using publishing's slow month of August to catch up on open queries. I'll be reopening in September for a short period looking for a few specific things. I'm most excited to find a compelling queer take on lit RPG, dystopian, and continued authentic representation in stories.

"Give me The Secret Garden (1993 film adaptation) but for adults."
Gemma Paynter #MSWL

"I want an LGBTQIA+ novel in the vein of ONE DAY, A LOVE SONG FOR RICKI WILDE (high concept, unique structure, deep and sweeping love story)."
Carly Watters #MSWL

Open to queries for the first week of August!

Really hoping to get more nonfiction submissions.

For fiction: forever and always, anything gothic and magical🖤

More of my #MSWL is on my website.

Wicker peen. That’s it. Send me your weird books #mswl

I should also mention that I only take on 1-2 new authors a year. I am not looking for new clients very actively but wanted to open for submissions since I've been closed for a longer period.
