She also mentioned wanting projects in fantasy, along the lines of "The Starving Saints".
That being said, where this editor and I align is our mission to represent BIPOCs, and NOT wanting WW1 or 2 stories or desiring trauma p**n... like at all.
On the other end... she aligns with-#MSWL

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

In Fantasy & Science Fiction:

🍷 Lush, decadent, slightly fallen worlds with horrible, sexy people

👺 I’m weak for a monster, a knight, a saint, or an alchemist

🏚️ A haunted house, a secret organization, a placid surface with fraught depths

🔮 A bargain, a deal with the devil, a curse

In Romance:

💘 I want, most of all, to fall in love. Make me swoon like a Victorian maiden. 100/10 on the swoon scale.

🌸 Historical romance that explores secret societies, unspoken relationships

🗝️ Romance always has to have another genre for me, be that fantasy, horror, or mystery (or all three!)

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

Hi! I’m heading over to query tracker! If you’ve got a project that matches my #mswl , query me there!

"I'm looking for fantasy novels with shorter word counts and immersive worldbuilding. Ex: GODKILLER by Hannah Kaner, EMILY WILDE'S ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF FAERIES by Heather Fawcett.”
mariavicente.com #MSWL

-A really well-written, voice-y, creative YA or MG epic fantasy with unique world-building. (Think N.K. Jemisin or Rebecca Roanhorse for tweens/teens).
-Humorous, character-driven picture books, especially if the main character(s) could carry a series.
-A survival story.

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

I'm open to queries again! It's a bit earlier than I thought, but since I was nearly at inbox zero, I decided to go ahead and open. Here's my updated #MSWL : www.azantianlitagency.com/about-us/tha...

Sports book (HEATED RIVARLY, ICEBREAKER) but set it in a fantasy world #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

"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 still closed to queries, but I hope to reopen in a few months. When I do, I'll be especially interested in seeing sff novels about transformative friendships. (Romantic elements okay but non-critical here.) Fire up "For Good," write me something! #mswl

It’s no April fool’s joke…I’m officially reopening to queries with FinePrint’s Agency Assistant, baileyknaub.bsky.social!
We’re interested in:

Indigenous Horror / Fantasy
Speculative Thrillers
Psychological Horror
