#MSWL

Horror: Folk horror, body horror, supernatural, sci-fi blend, gothic. Less keen on creepy real-world set horror where the resolution is that someone doesn't know what’s going on because they’ve been drugged.

If you’re new here, welcome! I am Foreign Rights Associate and Junior Agent at Context Literary Agency.

✨What I’m seeking:
* Adult SFF & genre-bending upmarket fiction & horror
* High concept YA fiction
* Whimsical & heartfelt MG

Specific wishes in Young Adult Fiction:
Stories that grapple with faith, sexuality, and/or cultural identity, like Ahmad Saber’s RAMIN ABBAS HAS MAJOR QUESTIONS
Mystery thrillers that keep me turning the page, like Katie Bernet’s BETH IS DEAD (retellings or not)
Stories that broach topics like neurodivergence and sexuality in an authentic way, like Andrew Joseph White’s THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH
Psychological horror that reads like a dark fairy tale, like C.G. Drews’s DON’T LET THE FOREST IN
