-I'm still looking for a fantasy or science fiction with a murder mystery plot. Should be more traditional or cozy mystery rather than a dark, crime mystery. Something light and fun with a speculative fiction setting or element.

-I'm still open to finding more self-published authors in the Adult market (SFF, Romantasy, or Mystery) who want help exploiting their retained sub-rights. Audio rights being at the top of that list. #MSWL

#YA : again, I’m looking for high concept stories with a strong hook, cozy fantasy with a strong voice and unforgettable characters, unique or fresh take on vampires or the eternal one trope. Cryptids? I want to believe.

Looking forward to reading your work!!

#MG : stories with a strong hook, fast-paced adventure, grounded fantasy, first crush or light romance—particularly on the hunt for stories by marginalized authors.

Query opening update and #MSWL ✨

- I love love love classic fantasy, but I’m very easily bored by a basic sword and sorcery storylines. I want something strange and fairy tale-like, and I want to know the characters deeply.

Happy to announce I’m reopened to queries! Check my #MSWL for what’s on my priority list but sneak peak: give me lots of romcom, steamy romance, psych thrillers, eerie horror, soft to medium fantasy, dark academia & space! 🫶🏻

Here is my updated #MSWL for winter 2025. I will be opening back up to unsolicited queries at the end of the month. If I’ve requested materials from you please send me a DM for my query link.

Now that I’m more situated in 2025, just thought I’d re-share what I’m looking for at my #MSWL link below!

For the next two weeks we are open to adult upmarket/literary/commercial fiction (speculative elements including horror, etc. are OK!) and then we'll open to remaining genres like SFF

Very happy to share my #MSWL , working alongside @ecniumata !

Upmarket or book club fiction that blends genres, including speculative (always enjoy some spookiness!), fantasy/sci-fi, historical, mystery/thriller, etc. (1/10)

My favorite fantasy trope ever is the Planet of the Apes twist, i.e. when your strange and old timey fantasy world is secretly the future. Send me that please! #mswl

Something I can’t get enough of is REALITY TV with a SFF, horror, or thriller/mystery element. #mswl

Think The Selection, Hunger Games, though doesn’t have to be YA.

Not a fit for contemporary romance reality TV. It needs a genre element to really pique my interest.

Also, I am still so obsessed with idea of poison dresses and using "female" arts (sewing, knitting, etc) for spy craft. Cold War spy novel in a fantasy book, not focused on a princess? #MSWL

Comedic fantasy, if that is a thing? Like I want a high fantasy book, but like what if it is a high school reunion and you are the failed chosen one? Why do we take high fantasy so seriously? #MSWL

As any good fantasy nerd, I love fantasy. In MG and YA, but I am picky nowadays. So it has to feel different. But give me high concept stories. Give me beautiful writing. Give me morally complex characters. #MSWL

#mswl

I am looking for commercial fiction across the board, but the particular areas I’d like to grow are romance, SFF & mysteries! 💕🛸🧚🕵️

Further info will be on the website (link in my bio) & on slides below…

MG: escapism is really the key word here! I love action and adventure whether it’s contemporary like Spy School or fantasy like Wilderlore. I’m drawn to big hearted emotions, wondrous magic, and zany humor

YA: fantasy/speculative with easy entry/accessible worldbuilding, or contemporary settings with magical elements like monsters or witchcraft. Either propulsive like a VE Schwab or cozy like the Spellshop or Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. Open to crossover but has to have that teen voice.
