I'd also like grounded fantasy or magical realism, sci fi, dystopian, paranormal, and select romance. Additionally, I'm seeking contemporary, coming-of-age stories with characters from low-income families and historical fiction featuring historically underrepresented identities.

MIDDLE GRADE #MG
Voice-driven middle grade with a captivating setting and quirky, lovable characters. In this space, I am open to horror, fantasy, magical realism, mystery, sci fi, historical, paranormal, adventure, contemporary, and nonfiction.

CHAPTER BOOKS #CB
Character-driven stories with a strong, commercial hook and series potential. I am looking for fantasy, magical realism, mystery, contemporary, nonfiction, light horror, paranormal, and adventure tales here.

I am #opentoqueries until the end of June!
I am looking for:
-Romance (especially paranormal!)
-Coming-of-Age
-LGBT+
-Commercial fiction

A plus if any of the genres above feature Black protagonists, and I love characters that feel ALIVE.

For #YA , I'm on the hunt for an unforgettable voice. High-concept stories that can be summarized in a single sentence, grounded fantasy, historical fantasy, unique paranormal, and historical with high stakes and universal themes from an underserved viewpoint or unique time in history.

and Carrie Pestritto is looking to spice things up!

@kgisondi .bsky.social is also in a cozy mood - with a twist!

For romantasy: no more high fae, I have a full list! Give me more dramoine, Lumoine (iykyk), monster romance, angels (biblically accurate or otherwise), ghosts, paranormal Y2K vibes. Still I plead for orc romance, please someone send me some.

Would love to see more cozy mysteries! Whether it’s a traditional one a la Amanda Flower or something a bit more in the vein of DIAL A FOR AUNTIES.
I love bookish or cooking premises, something that is lightly paranormal (think witches or a friendly ghost.) and an animal companion!

#mswl 3. Eerie, creepy horror (haunting, paranormal, locked room/house/escape scenarios, and more. Psychological horror/thriller/suspense. In YA, would love a nice ensemble cast in an escape situation, but open to everything.

8/ HORROR: I'm new to this as a recovering scaredy-cat. Go easy on me with the gore and violence! But give me the psychological Lynchian vibes; unsettling, surreal, off-kilter. I'm also down for monsters & vampires with a unique hook. Paranormals like "Insidious," w/ blurred lines of reality.

5/ ROMANCE: The right balance of emotion/comedy. Friends or enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, second chances. Atmospheric settings. Lovable side characters and a fresh take on archetypal love stories. Open to speculative/paranormal romance with a touch of magic. No toxic romance tropes.

It's #MSWL Day!

I would do ANYTHING for an adult or NA romance—contemporary or paranormal—with a love interest who OOZES charm and charisma. I want irresistible flirts! Bring me your Henry Montagues, Ian Flannerys, Jesper Faheys, and Jace Waylands!

Anything with a complicated, decades-long (or even centuries long if Fantasy/Paranormal) lesbian situationship at the core of the story. Yes, I’m an Agatha All Along fan. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! One thing I'd love to see in my query box is a cohesive fantasy or urban fantasy heist novel with paranormal elements, an immersive world, and all the feels. YA/NA/Adult

The rest of my wishlist can be seen at my pinned post, along with my query link. Please don't pitch in replies!
