My wishlist is pretty broad other than this, I just love it when authors have one or two things they're REALLY REALLY good at (world! character! plot! atmosphere!) and lean into it wholesale—if in doubt, try me, my response time on queries is about a week (5/5)

I want anything unusual or weird that knocks me over with the sheer imagination behind it—I'm not easily scared off, try me with those cross genre books and anything delightfully chaotic (4/5)

I'm also hunting for a book with horror as its subgenre, specifically atmospheric horror, and ideally in space or at the bottom of the ocean. I’d love something propulsive and creepy (3/5)

I'd LOVE a fantasy sports book with strong found family vibes, especially queer found family. Like a magical FENCE or BLUE LOCK or, truthfully THE FOXHOLE COURT (sans the problematic elements) (2/5)

while the algorithm loves me—#amquerying writers I'm especially hungry for adult sff lately & will stay open to queries all year long.

Try me (querymanager.com/allegramartschenko) if you see something in my wishlist (allegramartschenko.com/agent) that calls to you!

A little #mswl thread (1/5)

Aladdin— but make it romantasy with messy family subplot and LGBTQ+ #ownvoice #mswl

"If you have how-tos for beauty and self-care, I'm interested. Think sustainable and eco-friendly, capsule wardrobes, and decluttering, etc. Adult and YA welcome."

I would love a how-to mixed with memoir about farming. Be it a small mom and pop farm OR how large farming can operate in a sustainable manner. #mswl

If any of this describes your book, we’d love to see a query, synopsis, and the first 3 chapters/30 pages at ny (at) susannalea (dot) com.

If not, try us anyway! We’re always interested in finding new voices. 4/4

High-concept, female-led thrillers. We prefer our protagonists snarky and morally gray. Who doesn’t love a messed up antiheroine?

We’re also looking for writers in the crime & mystery space. Very commercial and propulsive. Could be dark or light and quirky, like KNIVES OUT. 3/4

Grounded speculative fiction and/or contemporary or historical fantasy, esp. if on the darker side. Maybe even incorporating horror or thriller. If you’re comping NINTH HOUSE, we want to read it!

We’re probably NOT a fit for romantasy, epic fantasy, or hard scifi. 2/4

Hey #amquerying crowd! I wanted to report a couple new #MSWL items we’d love to see in our @SLANYC inbox soon: 1/4

If you comp YOU, WITH A VIEW, please query me. #mswl

“Commercial fiction I loved (from the past year or two): SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE, THIS TIME TOMORROW, and THE GUNCLE.”

Recently updated my #mswl ! #amagenting #opentoqueries

I would love a sports romance in the vein of Jason and Kylie Kelce’s origin story. Make him a teddy bear like Jason and give him a playboy brother like Travis for a possible book 2. Bonus points if she’s a pro athlete, too.

"With memoir, I love a story that feels like I'm reading a collection of essays. @JamesTateHill 's BLIND MAN'S BLUFF and @m_scribe 's WHAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT, an anthology of essays are two books I worked on that fit in that space."
