[1/3] edgy, voice-driven book club fiction with a fresh, commercial hook; anything speculative—magical realist, horror, sci-fi, dystopian, you name it, especially with a feminist bend!
Very much still looking for horror in the adult, YA and MG space! Also, humorous mystery a la Only Murders/Finlay Donovan is (still) hitting my sweet spot.

As I get ready to open up to queries on Oct. 1st, here's a #MSWL of what I'm looking for! If you're unsure if your project would be a good fit based off of this list, that's okay. Please still consider querying me 😊
Very specific things I'd love to see
- more adult fantasy/romantasy (something very unique and off the wall and contemporary/grounded)
- MG and YA horror and mystery/thriller
- Academia
- humorous cozy fantasy
- sapphics!

Another reminder to agents that I'm on the hunt for submissions this fall! I'd love to see MORE adult and YA #horror in my inbox! Give me your books that comp to Aliens and Scream or both! Your psychological horror! Isolated thrillers! I want all things creepy!
(to each their own, im just looking more specifically for chill romantic subplots that break up the overarching horror rather than the romance BEING the horror #mswl )
Ultimately, for my list, I like to think of it as a balance between dark and twisty, and warm and cozy.
If the vibes are dark academia, witchy, creepy forests, poisonous plants, cottagecore, or anything gothic (whether it’s horror or historical!) it’s right up my alley.
