*NEW: In both MG & YA, I learned over my first year that I'm almost always a better fit for contemporary fantasy than I am for genre fantasy.

Still happy to consider fantasy if you think I'm a strong fit for other reasons, but this is something I want to be forthright about!

YA and MG contemporary fantasy: My second love! I’m interested in the same topics, and will look foremost for lyrical writing and character focus, with unique but very grounded magic systems. Comp: THE NATURE OF WITCHES by Rachel Griffin.

Comps: TOGETHER WE CAUGHT FIRE; THANKS A LOT, UNIVERSE duology; FANS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE LIFE, THE UNBEATABLE LILY HONG, BREATHE AND COUNT BACK FROM TEN, ALL THE FIGHTING PARTS; WHEN YOU WERE EVERYTHING; ALAN COLE IS NOT A COWARD; THE BEST LIARS IN RIVERVIEW; GOOD DIFFERENT

I also love stories featuring relationships—the good, the bad, and everything in between: friendship and found family, “friend break-up”, complicated family dynamics. And I adore romance (especially LGBTQIA+!), but prefer it as a subplot.

YA and upper MG contemporary continue to be my first priority! Lyrical prose, novels-in-verse, “dark and gritty,” “issue-driven,” character-driven, voice-y. I want to feature LGBTQIA+ voices, BIPOC voices, disability and chronic illness, mental health and neurodivergence, grief.

In my first year, I took on two extraordinary clients (@k_dishmon and Nicole Zelniker, who are unequivocally the best) for their beautiful YA novels. I'm still actively seeking YA, as well as upper MG, and am sparingly open to picture books.

I'm a queer, chronically ill, disabled junior agent at McIntosh & Otis. I’m acquiring (in order of priority) YA, MG, and PB.

I studied English, literary criticism, poetry, and creative writing.

I look very flowery and sunshiny above, but I also love the hard, sad books!

Okay, this makes me want an "office romance." Huge fan of them. Probably something more on the fun side than serious. #MSWL If you have this, you can submit here: QueryManager.com/Ali/OfficeRomaficeRomance as I am currently closed to most other queries.
