Romance! As my genre of choice, I'm especially looking for queer baking rom-coms like Rosaline Palmer; sweet holiday romances; books that tackle relationships + mental health like "The Charm Offensive"; and historical romances like "A League of Extraordinary Women" or Kit Webb

Historical fantasy! While the cozier, the better, I'm also looking for fantasies that sit in the upper YA/new adult space that are firmly historical and grounded. Think "The Last Magician" or "These Violent Delights"

Low-key fantasy! Epic fantasies aren't for me right now, but I'm loving warm and cozy YA/new adult fantasies that don't break the mental bank. Think "The House in the Cerulean Sea" plus "The Ex Hex" - grounded, perhaps supernatural, and heavily dosed with romance!

Books about books! Why is there nothing more satisfying than reading books about authors/writers/editors/booksellers/book lovers? Bring me your queer/BIPOC "Beach Read"s and "Fangirl"s!

Warm and cozy everything! Romances! Fantasy! Historical fiction! Anything that feels like curling up in Kate Winslet's cottage from The Holiday!

Academia! Give me all of those old-book vibes. I want dark academia with historical mysteries; professor MC/love interests a la Dani Brown; the excessive mentioning of tomes like in "A Discovery of Witches"; and an abundance of libraries!

"Non-fiction like Matthew Crawford's SHOP CLASS AS SOULCRAFT." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

This. #MSWL

#MSWL --- proposals on topics such as economic and social mobility, tutelary colonialism, ethnic stratification, and more.

And let's throw in a list of TV comps, because why not; if your story has the vibes of The Magicians, Schitt's Creek, Old Guard, Pushing Daisies, The Haunting of Hill House, or The Babadook, I might just love it #MSWL

And across genres and age ranges, I'm especially fond of SFF (including horror) with deep roots in folklore and culture, casually queer stories, and beautiful prose paired with high, commercial stakes. I can't wait to read your words! #MSWL

—Mystery and horror in certain genres (In mystery, think cozies or women’s fiction-adjacent, instead of hard-boiled detective stories; in horror, think Hill House, not Halloween).

—Character-driven sci-fi and fantasy. Send your sweeping, sexy Kushiel’s Dart-style epics, please!

Also in Adult, I'm looking for:

—Romance/romcoms, particularly queer and/or BIPOC. Anthing in the vein of Alyssa Cole, Cat Sebastian, Talia Hibbert, Alexandria Bellefleur, Rosie Danan, and Roselle Lim. Especially more romance and romcoms with non-binary MC’s and love interests.

In Adult, I'm looking for books you could comp to these recent faves!

—Magic realism in its traditional meaning as a movement of Latin American and Caribbean or African fiction.

—Queer genre YA of any kind, especially from QBIPOC.

—Jewish fantasy, including second-world, or fantasy featuring or built around a minority religeon

Otherwise in YA, I'm looking for:

—Contemp fiction with a fresh POV, gorgeous prose, and a strong hook

—Fantasy featuring diverse characters, mythologies, and beasties, from Baba Yaga to the Bái Zé; any creature that lives outside the mainstream and in the shadows

For YA, if you can comp your book to one of these recent favorites, then I want to see it in my inbox 👀

While I still have some full sub requests to dig into, I am *officially* down to query inbox zero, which means it's time to open to queries! You can now submit to me through QueryManager here: querymanager.com/query/BeccaPod…

So, what am I looking for in 2022? Here's an #MSWL

I love VERY DIFFERENT fantasy. The more genre-bending the better. Kritika's books blend epic fantasy (no swords!) with a touch of sci fi, STRONG sense of place, & strong contemporary relevance. If you're wondering what I mean by "very different fantasy" on #MSWL - add this TBR!
