As a summarized version I am craving a gorgeous lyrical horror in the vein of Don't Let the Forest In by C.G. Drews, Your Blood My Bones, anything that can be comped to Andrew Joseph White or Jamison Shea. This goes for YA - Adult! (more on MG below)

My MSWL is still accurate on my site:
amandalitagent.wordpress.com/agent-mswl/

You can use my standard query form and then there will be a link for you to use a form I made specifically for marginalized authors: QueryTracker.net/query/3570

Marginalized authors include: Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Disability rep, and so on!

Hello! Just a quick update. I am still closed to queries as I have a little over 100 more to read through and then submissions to drool over as well! However, I am now open to marginalized authors ONLY at this time -- no expiration date on that at this moment. 1/?

🚨 Excited to announce that I’ve joined The Caldwell Agency as a literary agent primarily repping adult sci-fi and fantasy!

You can find my #mswl and query instructions at the link below. I’m looking forward to seeing what amazing projects come my way!
