"If you send me fantasy, I prefer mundane magic to epic worlds. Bonus points for magical bureaucracy!"
Gemma Paynter #MSWL

"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."
Marina Green #MSWL

"Dark fantasies entwined with horror, similar to INNAMORATA or THE GIRL WITH A THOUSAND FACES."

#mswl

I’m captivated by gorgeous fantasies & coming of age that inspire wonder while exploring profound themes around friendship, family, and love like The Girl Who Drank the Moon, This Was Our Pact, Brown Girl Dreaming, Inside Out & Back Again, Nine Moons of Han Yu & Luli, When You Trap a Tiger 2/4

A thread about my favorite kinds of MG & #mswl - I love sff of all kinds, especially those about discovering the true nature of the world & overcoming authoritarian power structures. Books like A Wrinkle in Time, The Giver, The House of the Scorpion, The Last Cuentista, The One and Only Ivan. 1/4

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."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

If you’re new here, welcome! I am Foreign Rights Associate and Junior Agent at Context Literary Agency.
