Cozy fantasy in MG #MSWL

Really been craving more nature-centric stories with blends of cozy magic, botany/alchemy, horror, fantasy, & speculative. #MSWL

⚔️ Fantasy (with teeth): Layered and dynamic characters and world-building. I'm a sucker for non-western mythology and themes of rebellion, autonomy, feminism, and gray morality. I'm also dying for my perfect werewolf book (🐺!)

My current #MSWL :
Adult Narrative Nonfiction (NOT memoir), Adult Fiction: Thriller, Suspense, Horror, Romance.
YA Fiction: Thriller, Suspense, Horror, Rom-com,
Boarding school settings, Fantasy.

Maybe it’s because there’s so much doom and gloom in the world right now, but I’d love to see YA in my inbox with more humor. I want more cozy fantasies with light-heartedness, sass, or even snark, not constant death and destruction. #MSWL

Random #MSWL : YA fantasy that features tattoos in some way

Team howlandlit.bsky.social made me a gorgeous new #MSWL brochure. Here’s what I’m looking for when I open back up to queries in May.

Now that it’s PW official! I’m so excited to announce that I’ve joined jenazantian.bsky.social’s wonderful agency as an associate agent 🥰

And yes, I’m open to queries! Please check out my MSWL and submit to me via QueryTracker!

Would love more lgbtq+, family stories, stories about finding your community and supporting it

#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
