#MSWL A YA or NA paranormal fantasy in the vein of F. T. Lutkens. Romance definitely encouraged!

Horror of all kinds intrigues me, especially when it’s interweaved with a contemporary, fantasy, folklore, gothic, historical, horrormance, paranormal, psychological, or survival subgenre! I’m also drawn to stories that feature dread, sentient settings & descents into madness

If you want more insight into my taste (or are simply looking for a book recommendation), here are some fantasy books I’ve thoroughly enjoyed!

I’m also especially attracted to a few niche elements in a fantasy manuscript, such as necromancy, heists, and villain-turned-ally arcs.

Fantasy is easily one of my top three genres to work with, and these are the subgenres I'm most drawn to. I’m always looking for female protagonists, ensemble casts, morally gray characters, high stakes, & unique/well-thought-out world-building & magic systems.

I’m always a sucker for a good romance novel, so here are some things I look for in a romance manuscript. I especially love romance manuscripts with a contemporary, cozy, fantasy, gothic, historical, paranormal, sports, or romcom subgenre.

I’m seeking commercial fiction for YA and adult audiences, especially in the romance, fantasy, mythology, dark academia, horror, thriller, & dystopian genres.

"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."

"I am seeking romantic fantasy, especially in the vein of Juliet Marillier, Prime’s MY LADY JANE, and EMPIRE OF SAND by Tasha Suri."

"I'm looking for voicey kid lit! For adult fiction, I'm still looking to grow my horror list and identity-driven book club fiction. I want to learn something new in non-fiction and find a project that helps others learn things in digestible ways." loveleemonicaa.bsky.social #mswl

I'm feeling sappy lately and want to read the most unapologetically angsty romantic arcs you've ever seen in children's fiction. I was raised on magical girl stories; you can't scare me. (Please not that I don't rep MG/YA category romance in prose but love a romance subplot in fantasy.) #MSWL

In the spirit of #MSWL day, here's what I'm craving in children's comics and MG/YA fantasy: any trope in Kingdom Hearts but especially amnesia plots, complex betrayals, friends separated for magical reasons and trying desperately to reach each other, and mysterious lore that's somehow consistent.

For clarity, I only represent age categories MG and up. For MG & YA I’m open to all genres fiction and nonfiction. On the adult side I only work on genre-adjacent or genre-lite fiction (no straight contemporary or anything that wades too deeply into the genre space). #MSWL

Also open to light fantasy and horror if it’s under 208 pages! And fast-paced! With compelling stakes!
