3. Adult fiction. Commercial genre fiction in SFF, horror, thrillers, historical, romance. In general, I tend towards high concept, plot-driven and love a twist! Please trick me.

Literary Agent
2. YA fiction. Original fantasy, romantasy, psychological thrillers, dark academia, horror, sci fi & heart-pounding adventure. Worlds to get lost in, characters who have chemistry! Surprises and revelations!

Literary Agent
1. MG fiction. Accessible MG across genres, including SFF, horror, adventure and contemporary. Stories with plenty of surprises and a strong message. A voice that really taps in to that 9-12 POV.

I'm very interested in how setting up colonies on other planets in science fiction with the legacy of colonialism on Earth being so negative. Is humanity doomed to make the same mistakes or could we be better? #mswl

For science fiction, Iβm looking for space opera and science fantasy like GIDEON THE NINTH, SOME DESPERATE GLORY and THE SCOURGE BETWEEN STARS. It doesnβt need to be fast and loud β TO BE TAUGHT, IF FORTUNATE is a favourite β but it needs to have major sf elements.

Literary Agent
Iβm also looking for speculative romance in general, whether it has a big SFF element like THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY and WINTERβS ORBIT or a romance with speculative elements like WITCHFUL THINKING and THE EX HEX.

Editor
This is incredibly specific, but Iβd love a science fiction novel or novella that explores AI in a way that feels like Catherine Weaver from The Sarah Connor Chronicles. #mswl

Literary Agent
SFF is hard for me because I grew up in it so itβs difficult to feel fresh. Look at who I represent for a feel of my tastes: THE Linda Addison (@nytebird45), Hailey Piper (@HaileyPiperSays), Cynthia Pelayo, etc. #MSWL π§΅

Literary Agent
Iβd love some lighter fantasy & sci-fi stories that feel grounded and accessible
Like I donβt need to know how the flux capacitor works just that it makes time travel possible (this sci-fi reference is the perfect analogy for how I want my fantasy and sci-fi in adult) #MSWL

New year, new #MSWL!I represent BIPOC, Queer, and marginalized creators writing commercial genre fiction across MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel. My particular weaknesses are genre-blending SFF, horror, and anything with murder or making out (ideally both)
2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:

Literary Agency
"I read widely in YA, and enjoy just about every genre in it. I love moving contemporary reads, thrilling sci-fi, and lush fantasy."
