Also looking for in 2026 #MSWL

I would love to find more cozy fantasy for YA/MG, and just cozy books in general. When the world is a dumpster fire, sometimes we just need a little escape where there are still stakes and things to do, but in a way that doesn't cause massive anxiety. #MSWL

#MSWL I really want something like The Last Hour Between Worlds or Voyage of the Damned. A mystery set in a fantasy world, where powers make it more complicated to figure out the 'whodunnit.' Bonus points for a time loop

#MSWL PLEASE send more sci-fi, fantasy, romance, and horror with "older" protagonists. If those bad asses are over 40, have "scars" earned through life experience, and still manage to "make it look easy," then I want your query. More info at

#MSWL Sci-fi, fantasy, romance, and horror by LGBTQ authors. More info at

Dark fantasy or magical realism à la Pan’s Labyrinth is another love of mine. I love that creepy, ethereal feel of magical realism and folklore mixed with a dash of horror. #MSWL

#MSWL Adult science fiction, fantasy, romance, and horror by BIPOC authors. More info at

It's #MSWL day! I'm looking for fiction: propulsive and atmospheric crime fiction, immersive historical adventures, myth-based fantasy. I adore: Dark, macabre atmosphere; creatives as MCs; outdoor adventures & more! I open to Qs on the 10th of each month.

I’m always looking for a great voice! Particularly looking for fantasy / romantasy, paranormal, mystery, thriller…and always happy to be surprised! #MSWL

#MSWL Adult-only paranormal & urban fantasy with or without romance, please. Slow burn with heart-pounding tension is a major plus! Or brotherhood/sisterhood-type group who would destroy the world if you hurt one of them. Love found families, too. More at

#MSWL I reopened to queries on Jan 15. Signed 2 new clients so far! I ONLY represent ADULT novels and ADULT graphic novels in these core categories: romance, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. More info at

#MSWL Genre-bending with a stellar one-line hook! I adore reading surprising genre mashups, especially in the fantasy, SF, and horror spaces, or something fun like HOW TO KILL A GUY IN TEN DATES

This is a high priority for me in YA in particular!

For YA & Adult, I’m looking for grounded fantasy. I’m not typically the one for fantasy-fantasy. I love a “our world but weird/witchy/magical/supernatural.” NINTH HOUSE is one of my all-time favorites (I have a tattoo for it) & I also loved working with S.Isabelle on her debut YA, THE WITCHERY #MSWL

One more #MSWL day!

I am on the hunt for fantasy! YA/NA/adult. Grounded worldbuilding, complex characters, propulsive plot. Sweep me away!

Some recent favorite reads have been:
THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH by Rachel Gillig
THE MAID AND THE CROCODILE by Jordan Ifueko
THE RAVEN SCHOLAR by Antonia Hodgson

I’d love fiction with magical realism, historical fiction, contemporary fantasy, romance/romcoms, epic/high fantasy, LitRPG, mystery, or sci‑fi. Blend them? Great. Fantasy + mystery? Great. Magical realism + historical? Great. Set in Latin America, Africa, Asia, or about diaspora lives? Great #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day, writers! I rep MG, YA, and adult and am open to contemporary, historical, fantasy, sci-fi, speculative, and horror. I'm a BIG graphic novel person and I also do nonfiction as well! You can see my wish list & submission guidelines here:

#MSWL I’m on the hunt for grounded, accessible science fiction and dystopias. Think clones, time travel, and new tech here on earth that are accessible to more general readers and explore near future-feeling possibilities.

I’d also love a science fantasy and second world science fiction!
