#MSWL YA fantasy series

After many months (years? decades? centuries??) I am settled in at Neighborhood Literary, and open to queries! I accept queries through QueryManager here:
querytracker.net/query/BeccaPodos

@ecniumata & I are open to queries! Particularly on the hunt for genre-blends (like hist/SFF) & sharp contemp w/ spec elements or inventive mixed-media. Anything comped to Grady Hendrix, Freya Marske, Mona Awad, Victor LaValle, T. Kingfisher, Carissa Orlando & Simone St. James

Would love to get a manuscript in my inbox reminiscent of Frieren, with that perfect mix of love, loss, and a fantasy adventure quest. #mswl

Niche interest: fantasy military-style schools. #MSWL

Fantasy romcom like Assistant to the Villain (loved that book!) #mswl

Some specific holes I'm looking to fill on my list #mswl

- adult/NA cozy fantasy (w/romance)
- ya thriller/mystery & horror
- adult & ya romantasy, fantasy, epic fantasy
- more fantasy books that appeal to a masculine audience w/o relying on frustrating clichés

aiden-png.bsky.social is looking to get Spirited Away!

elanaroth.bsky.social would love a cozy genre mashup!

For cosy fantasy I want something that reminds me of Everdell or Redwall for adults, dragons (but like how Robin Hobb does them, aka perfectly), anything that has a D&D flair or has a monk/cleric/paladin/nun as a central character, magic tea shops and cute robots and I want to cry happy tears

Monsters, historical, trans and POC horror, horror romance, space survival. Onto fantasy: give me epic, political, sweeping and expansive. Murder mysteries at court, backstabbing gentry, fantasy of manners…

Looking for more fantasy/romantasy with speculative, cozy, & folkloric bends with lush prose all in YA & Adult Crossover. If you have it, I want to read it 🩷✨#MSWL

Writers of Bluesky! I'm on the lookout for some fresh new voices for middle grade readers. I love contemporary realistic stories but am happy to be swept away with something with fantasy elements too. All submission details are on our website www.skylark-literary.com/submission-guidelines 📚💕#MSWL

My MG Fantasy #MSWL

When I say mythical creatures, I actually don't mean dragons.

Fantasies with immersive, epic magic systems. Family dynasties. Incredibly well written villains who aren’t just evil for the sake of it. Something dark. Bloody. Ambitious. Not taking the high road. Fighting your oppressors. Stories that alter our belief in right and wrong

✨finger guns✨ Hi there, fiction writers and #amquerying I’m officially back open to queries!

Have a cool book? I like books. Have a rad idea for a series? Send it my way.

Check out below for some #mswl highlights on romance, fantasy, and everything between 🤍

A peek at her #MSWL !

Along the same lines, I think with tariffs on China where most books are printed, it will be more costly for publishers to invest in long projects. I'd love to see shorter SFF (under 100K words). #MSWL

I'd like to see more standalone fantasy. Not standalone with series potential. A true standalone. #MSWL
