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!

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).

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."
Marina Green #MSWL

#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
