👋🏽 hi, still not really here, but an update: i'm closing queries to everything BUT YA right now. send it all - horror, contemporary, romance, fantasy, thriller, paranormal, sci fi [space shenanigans pls], murder mysteries, etc etc - my way if you'd like 🙇🏽‍♀️ #MSWL

MG: Fun, commercial stories; whimsical Ghibli-like adventure; accessible fantasy; spooky, monster-focused horror

I want romantasy that reminds me of the line in the Gary Oldman Dracula where he says ‘I’ve crossed oceans of time to find you’ #MSWL

3. Adult fiction. Commercial genre fiction in SFF, horror, thrillers, historical, romance. In general, I tend towards high concept, plot-driven and love a twist! Please trick me.

2. YA fiction. Original fantasy, romantasy, psychological thrillers, dark academia, horror, sci fi & heart-pounding adventure. Worlds to get lost in, characters who have chemistry! Surprises and revelations!

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!

#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 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???
