I'm not usually into mermaids but this one is a definite #mswl situation

Who is this?
What is their story?
Why am I utterly enchanted by them?

"I'm interested in upmarket thrillers that use an engaging thriller premise to explore personal/social issues – THE ECHO WIFE and WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING are two of my all-time favourite books."

Taking conference pitches this weekend made me realize I have a TERRIBLE NEED for queer historical YA. Not fantasy! I want real queer teens living, loving, and existing throughout the ages. If you have this, agents, I'll take them even though I'm closed to submissions! #MSWL

"Send me proposals for nonfiction topics examined through a unique lens such as HOW FAR THE LIGHT REACHES: A LIFE IN TEN SEA CREATURES and A IS FOR ARSENIC: THE POISONS OF AGATHA CHRISTIE."

I *loved* HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS and would love to see them reboot it somehow. (Also a great premise for a fun middle-grade novel…. #mswl)

"I want witty, fast-paced dialogue, in the vein of Emily Henry and Ali Hazelwood."

I want romantasy that reminds me of the line in the Gary Oldman Dracula where he says ‘I’ve crossed oceans of time to find you’ #MSWL

Unfortunately, I'm unable to participate in #APIpit today as I'm buried under contracts, but I'd LOVE to see your queries in my inbox! My #MSWL and link to submit is here: headwaterliterary.com

If I didn’t mention something it doesn’t mean I’m not open to it, so if you think it could be for me, fire away! You can also submit to me through FBA’s online submissions portal as I will always be looking for more romantasy! ❤️‍🔥

I’m particularly in the mood for astrology-inspired fantasy, courtly intrigue, a witchy romance, myth & fairytale retellings, sapphic romantasy, undercover assassins, life or death trials and anything dark academia...

Witches, vampires, fae - I’m a fan of them all. I’m equally interested in reinterpretations of magical creatures that play with convention or that are inspired by mythologies from around the world.

Talking about perspectives, we all love a good female lens, but I’d like that to be more nuanced. Give me irreverent, quirky or flawed heroines. They can be strong but not infallible. I want characters that are representative of the world around us, with varied outlooks!

Spice or no spice? 🌶️ I’m open to all romance but make it intimate and real and let’s have a good slow burn first. I want the leads to be pining and for that tension to be unbearable. It’s not an exact science but the 60 percent mark is a good place for sparks to start flying!

I love a trope so don’t feel like you need to reinvent the genre, but I’d be interested in seeing tropes explored creatively. I fall for morally grey characters that are ultimately good. Send me your fated lovers/enemies-to-lovers/forbidden & second chance love stories, and more!
