I’m currently seeking a romance with magical realism ✨

Think The Dead Romantics vibes—romance at the center, with a little bit of magic woven in.

Drop me a mood board, elevator pitch, or agent guide below.

Show me what you’ve got! 🪄

-Teen voices that sound genuine
-Stories with meaningful themes (without being preachy)
-Non-western settings and magic systems #MSWL #writersky

I am drawn to commercial hooks, lyrical writing, and voicy characters who jump off the page and pull you in. I love books that explore underrepresented folk stories and mythologies. Similarly, I am interested in non-Western settings. In fantasy, I adore a unique magic system. I am also a big fan of books about books. Across all genres and age groups, I would love to see projects from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, neurodiverse, and chronically ill communities.

Editor 1 (cont.): So, she would like a woman/or women in a male field story.)

Editor 2: She wants more magic realism... Much like "The Husbands"...
This editorial team is really pushing to add more commercial fiction to their list. This is especially true for their romance list. #MSWL

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

Fantasy is easily one of my top three genres to work with, and these are the subgenres I'm most drawn to. I’m always looking for female protagonists, ensemble casts, morally gray characters, high stakes, & unique/well-thought-out world-building & magic systems.

Growing up in Kentucky means I'm still obsessed with all things Appalachia. If you have a book set there, I'd love to see it. Bonus points for a mystery / crime novel or one with a touch of magic. Or maybe a combination thereof! #mswl
