1. MG fiction. Accessible MG across genres, including SFF, horror, adventure and contemporary. Stories with plenty of surprises and a strong message. A voice that really taps in to that 9-12 POV.

I’m particularly in the mood for astrology-inspired fantasy, courtly intrigue, a witchy romance, myth & fairytale retellings, sapphic romantasy, undercover assassins, life or death trials and anything dark academia...

I’m looking for fantasy where romance is the driving force, paired with vivid world-building, unusual magic systems, lush settings, and high-stake adventures. Hooky premise is a must. Think Carissa Broadbent’s TSatWoN – The Hunger Games with vampires? Yes, please!

We're so excited to announce that this Friday we will be holding our first ever #pitchingevent, focusing on #romantasy, which will run for one week! 🐉💖 @alicecaprio94 will be sharing her #MSWL with you all, and if she likes your pitch we'll request a sample of your work.

#MSWL this sounds really cool. Would love to rep something like this. I think a villain that feels redeemable but just approaches that edge of redemption and then pulls back each time up until the end would be great.

Unique hobbies but not too quirky/MPDG. ❄️

Joyful queer MG! 🎉

Fun voicey fantasy! 🎤

Fat BIPOC! 🥰

Stuff that is genre-bending/mash-ups, unexpected but effective! ⚔️

#mswl

Stories where the protagonist builds their own community/family. 🫶🏼

Books that will radicalize teens/kids. 📢

Truly escapist fantasy with a world I become absolutely obsessed with! 🤯

Experimental (but not tooooo gimmicky) storytelling that just works! 👏🏼

#mswl

I did a little #MSWL refresh. In addition to my forever loves MG and YA, I'm aggressively seeking occult nonfiction and Adult SFF and contemporary romance!

Agents: So what’re you looking for these days?

Me:
#mswl

Clarifying that I also want it to be Sapphic. Thank you.

#mswl

#MSWL YA fantasy that isn't "dark". Dare I say fun, maybe funny? Something that feels bright? Still has to have a solid hook and story problem to solve.

Once again made the terrible (amazingly good) mistake of putting on Queenmaker.

Where is the SFF queenmaker MS of my dreams???

#MSWL

For science fiction, I’m looking for space opera and science fantasy like GIDEON THE NINTH, SOME DESPERATE GLORY and THE SCOURGE BETWEEN STARS. It doesn’t need to be fast and loud – TO BE TAUGHT, IF FORTUNATE is a favourite – but it needs to have major sf elements.

I’m always looking for EPIC FANTASY – give me big worldbuilding, multiple POVs, high stakes, and a cast of characters to get invested in.

Send me your cozy fantasy – meadows and cottages and stews and forests. I would love to see something Ghibli-esque that deals with big emotions and themes in a cozy setting.

I’m also looking for speculative romance in general, whether it has a big SFF element like THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY and WINTER’S ORBIT or a romance with speculative elements like WITCHFUL THINKING and THE EX HEX.

Send me your FANTASY ROMANCE! I’m looking for equal strength in the fantasy and romance aspects – it needs to have solid plot and worldbuilding alongside off-the-charts chemistry. I would love to see more queer (especially sapphic) romantasy!
