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.

"I would love fantasies with unique magic systems, strong characters, and stories inspired by myth or folklore, particularly outside the Western canon."
Marina Green #MSWL

Genres I’m open to: romance, fantasy/speculative, mystery/thrillers, horror, historical, lyrical contemporary (more so coming of age with a strong romance thread & a story that weaves in heart & humor - I’m typically not the best fit for contemporary rom-coms in general), novels in verse 2/3

Fantasy: open to all genres but would have more space for something with a subgenre like romantasy, historical mystery, dark fantasy or cosy. I would be verrry excited to find something that feels like a cosier, more feminine version of Dungeon Crawler Carl.

"I'm seeking romantasy with strong fantasy and romance elements. It needs to have solid worldbuilding and plot as well as off-the-charts chemistry."
