I'm open to middle grade queries!

"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

In adult fiction I'm looking for...speculative horror/thriller, contemporary romance, philosophical sci-fi, fantasy with cozy magical realism, identity driven book club fiction #mswl

Hello 2026! As we get closer to the new year—and my query inbox reopening—it’s time for me to update what I’m looking for. I saw a lot of fabulous projects in 2025 (but more on that later), and I’m excited about what I might find in 2026. #mswl

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

ok. y'all know what I want? a series of interconnected romantasies like Lisa Kleypas's Wallflowers series ... but make it speculative. same level of heat and drama and character development, but just add magic. not sequels! interconnected standalones. this is my #1 dream #mswl

Period based magic #MSWL

Agent friends: I zoomed through the audiobook of VERITY VOX AND THE CURSE OF FOXFIRE this weekend and it was great and had everything I want in a YA fantasy. Cool witchy magic! A fun voice! Cozy, but still important stakes! SAPPHIC!!!

If you have anything like this, send it my way? :) #MSWL

3. Middle grade, whether prose, verse, or graphic novels. Must have heart, lovable MC's who face challenges, friendship or sibling stories (would love to see more of these), open to magical or speculative elements and would like a touch of genre w/o too many tonal changes. #MSWL

Here are some other random #mswl :

- Fantasy with heavy mystery elements. (If someone wants to give me a locked-door mystery-fantasy combo, that would be amazing 👀)

- Christmassy/wintry magic

- Sentient buildings (cottages, mansions, museums…)

- OCD rep

And more to come!

"I'm interested in all things magical realism."
