I’m really obsessed with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (no spoilers, please!)

And I’d love to see unique worlds or premises like this in my fantasy #mswl

I’m open for queries until the 15th and my #MSWL has changed.
I also included some recent reads that I’ve enjoyed this summer so you can get a feel for my reading tastes (I do not represent these titles).
note— I am NOT open to manuscripts written using AI.

I’m open to queries through the 7th!

I am on the hunt for mysteries/thrillers, gothic horror, and intricate, inventive fantasy!

I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer writers.

Along the same lines, 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

"I am dreaming of fantasies that feel like a pre-Raphaelite painting or even a Hayao Miyazaki film."

#Mswl : literary voice-driven middle grade w/a high-concept hook; speculative/fantasy or slice-of-life but I want to see gorgeous, engaging prose or verse; profound coming-of-age themes; and beautifully drawn characters. If it’s a heavier story, there should be love and hope reverberating throughout

For a YA/crossover readership (my initial focus), I'd particularly love to see original, immersive speculative and fantasy novels (especially if inspired by an unusual setting or underrepresented history, mythology or culture), horror, dystopian, romance and thrillers.

Here are some other random #mswl :

- Fantasy with heavy mystery elements. (If someone wants to give me a locked-door mystery-fantasy combo, that would be amazing 👀)

- Christmassy/wintry magic

- Sentient buildings (cottages, mansions, museums…)

- OCD rep

And more to come!

Here's Aashna's #mswl ! She's looking for authors and illustrators in a wide range of genres and categories!

Later than planned but I am OPEN to submissions again. 🥳Cleared my edits, cleared my submissions, cleared the decks (sort of) and excited to see ALL the epic fantasy, science fiction and horror...tho, not a big fan of romanatsy (sorry!). My #MSWL is here:

Lastly, I want to thank everyone who has sent me their sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and other genres not called out here. They are and will always be a core part of my list, and I'm so grateful to see them in my inbox on a daily basis. 💛

"I would love fantasies with unique magic systems, strong characters, and stories inspired by myth or folklore, particularly outside the Western canon."
