Hi everyone!

I expanded my genre list to include Horror! Here's what I'm looking for in this genre:

- New Adult/Adult Paranormal horror (supernatural elements)
- New Adult/Adult horror based on folklore!! Especially non-Western
- NO SA or DV! (this is an auto-reject)

#MSWL

I'm hoping to rep YA, New Adult, and Adult fiction written by, for, and about traditionally underrepresented communities -- authors who write in these categories and are BIPOC, neurodiverse, queer, disabled, immigrants, etc., please come say hi! I want to work with you. :) #MSWL

Please feel free to query me with anything on my broader wishlist, within SFF and romance for YA, NA and Adult.

But these are the books that I will be especially excited by right now, based on what I am missing in my list and/or what makes me clap my hands with glee!

I can't wait to dive back in!

Please note, I am only looking for New Adult or Adult fiction at this time. This may be subject to change in the future, but as it stands, only those two age ranges.

Just binged Maxton Hall on Amazon & it is literally everything I love in YA enemies to lovers. Class disparity, broken characters. Messy lives. Academic/boarding school vibe. Strong secondary characters. YA to NA vibe. This is a #MSWL . Closing soon but give me 👀 if you have it.

I’m looking for ALL genres of MG and YA, but might be slightly prioritizing….
- MG magical realism
- MG animal fantasy
- YA fantasy/sci-fi (DYSTOPIA)
- YA contemporary
- YA thriller
- historical fiction OR alternate history in both age groups

Heading into summer reading, updated #MSWL , on #QueryManager . Would like to see more YA, NA, and Adult science fiction, family saga, and unique retellings. Can have subgenres in historical, horror, magical realism, military, speculative, environmental/climate, & extinction.

Some specific holes I'm looking to fill on my list #mswl

- adult/NA cozy fantasy (w/romance)
- ya thriller/mystery & horror
- adult & ya romantasy, fantasy, epic fantasy
- more fantasy books that appeal to a masculine audience w/o relying on frustrating clichés

And all the way up to Crossover and #NA - more of the same! College level stories. Cosy, epic, heartwarming romance.

I’d love a dark academia New Adult/Adult spicy Romance. Think a Doechii-like persona as a romantic lead. LGBTQ is (clearly) a bonus. #MSWL

Tuesday and I'm thinking a bit about my #mswl

I'm feeling *cosy* at the moment. I want stories that are all vibes and textures. Driftwood, oak floors, cobbled streets. Everything from PBs to NA give me your stories that are curl up in the corner, low stakes, hot coffee.

My queries are open! Please make sure your work matches my MSWL (link in bio) :) #mswl
