I’m currently seeking a romance with magical realism ✨

Think The Dead Romantics vibes—romance at the center, with a little bit of magic woven in.

Drop me a mood board, elevator pitch, or agent guide below.

Show me what you’ve got! 🪄

#MSWL #writingcommunity

"Send me inventive middle grade fantasy novels—especially if there’s an animal sidekick.”

I am open to queries! I don’t know how long I’ll stay open, but here’s a little #mswl -

-Book club fiction that feels like someone turned Noah Kahan’s Downfall, Willing and Able, or Haircut into a novel

-Suspense with a horror edge, and bonus points if it has a romantic element

"For YA fantasy, I would love a propulsive retelling that is distinct and fiery with something important to say. Think FOR SHE IS WRATH by Emily Varga."
