I’m reopening to queries today! I’m still looking for adult fiction, queer romance and romcoms, commercial and upmarket SFF and horror, and anything genre-blend-y set on a spaceship. Link to my query form below! #MSWL

"For YA fantasy, I would love a propulsive retelling that is distinct and fiery with something important to say. Think FOR SHE IS WRATH by Emily Varga."
Marina Green #MSWL

So if you've written the sff&h novel equivalent, when I reopen to queries, #mswl .

Second half 2025 #MSWL :
-an YA Fantasy that feels fresh
-a sweeping epic YA romance
-a great YA mystery (LOVE Rian Johnson and if you can comp to the vibes there, even better)
-a YA mermaid book where the mermaids don't speak (I could go into the science, but I won't

Part 1/

I am dying to check these off the list so please think of me! #MSWL

ROMANCE!! 💕

it's the one genre I've been looking to add to my list. some fave dynamics include

- the delinquent/A+ student
- black cat/golden retriever
- the one who thinks theyre a monster/the one who loves them anyway

ideally contemporary, but romance-driven sff or mystery is welcome too!

4/6 #mswl Love light to epic fantasy. Dragons, fae, elves! Trad fantasy setting or grounded in the real world (urban fantasies.) The Book of Doors – Gareth Brown is a fave! Fantasy is your imagination, so I don’t want to put many strictures on this one. Let me see what you have!

In fantasy, I look for more grounded fantasy - more of this is explained on my site!

I am craving a creepy and twisted Rumpelstiltskin retelling!! If you've read The Land of the Lost Things by John Connolly, you know what I mean!

There is more than this small list on my site

🚨 Excited to announce that I’ve joined The Caldwell Agency as a literary agent primarily repping adult sci-fi and fantasy!

You can find my #mswl and query instructions at the link below. I’m looking forward to seeing what amazing projects come my way!

"I'm on the lookout for cozy fantasy, especially if it deals with big emotions and themes in a cozy setting."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

desperately looking for a speculative upmarket circus novel, maybe with some fantasy elements – The Night Circus vibes, pls! I have wanted this for years 😭 #mswl

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

"Send me romantasy with strong fantasy and romance elements – it needs to have solid worldbuilding and plot as well as off-the-charts chemistry."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL
