In adult fiction I'm looking for...speculative horror/thriller, contemporary romance, philosophical sci-fi, fantasy with cozy magical realism, identity driven book club fiction #mswl

"Send me inventive middle grade fantasy novels. Ex: THE GIRL WHO DRANK THE MOON, WHEN YOU TRAP A TIGER, THE LAND OF STORIES, and THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL."

"I'm always interested in epic fantasy with big worldbuilding, high stakes, and characters to get invested in."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

High, high, HIGH on my 2026 wish list is YA SFF, a cast of characters with distinct personalities, mayhem, pirates, humor, and protagonists with hearts of gold who are also a little too clever for their own good.

You know what I'm seeking? TREASURE PLANET. Please send me anything that comps! #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."

Adult genre fiction, especially horror (send all your horror!!!), mystery/thriller, and romance. Selectively happy to consider sci-fi and fantasy.

And as many know I’ve spent a long time in children’s, and I’m still considering all children’s titles for Zando. Many more…

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

"I am seeking atmospheric, voice-driven fantasies with expansive world building and slow-burn (but angsty!) romance."

Hello 2026! As we get closer to the new year—and my query inbox reopening—it’s time for me to update what I’m looking for. I saw a lot of fabulous projects in 2025 (but more on that later), and I’m excited about what I might find in 2026. #mswl

"Send me upmarket genre fiction: fantasy, grounded science fiction, magical realism, and horror."

#mswl I adore will-they-won't-they romance, slow burn, established pairings, and more. I'm open to all YA graphic novels including romcom, but for prose I'm strictly open to children's fantasy, spy, and heist, not contemporary romance. It was listed in error on querytracker, now fixed.

#mswl - Here are some things I'm longing for in my inbox!

While I'm open to all MG and YA fantasy I'm especially craving second-world, epic fantasy adventures. Lately I've been devouring the Alanna books by Tamora Pierce. Send me stories with unusual crafting trades and competent protagonists.

Hey #amquerying writers and illustrators, I'm open to queries for children's graphic novels and children's fantasy, spy, and heist novels! You can find my #mswl here: jdlit.com/tori-sharp

"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

"I am seeking romantic fantasy, especially in the vein of Juliet Marillier, Prime’s MY LADY JANE, and EMPIRE OF SAND by Tasha Suri."
Marina Green #MSWL

I’m dipping into #questpit , but if I miss your pitch and you think we’d be a good fit, query me! I’m looking for horror, fantasy, and romance in YA, NA, and adult. Marginalized creators are my top priority.

"Send me books about surfing! Romance, fantasy, non-fiction—I’d love to see them all!"

"I'm interested in inventive second world fantasies inspired by non-Western cultures or folklore."
