Did I mention I'm open to #SciFi now?!! I would love to see a sci-fi romance. Or anything with multi-media elements similar to THE ILLUMINAE FILES by Amie Kaufman #MSWL

#MSWL Would love some nouveau riche casts in material too! Probably most interested in international settings for Adult work, though happy to see U.S. settings too especially in YA.

MG, YA, NA/Adult welcome. Genre mixing or SFF w/same vibes welcome! Would love BIPOC casts!

Basic summary of what I'm currently acquiring:
✔️MG & YA (all genres)
✔️GN for kids w/illustrator attached
✔️Adult/NA romcom/romcom adjacent
✔️Adult/NA romantasy
✔️Adult/NA SFF w/ strong romance
✔️Narrative NF in History only

And I usually acquire commercial material.

it's tough because i say "sff" and my light fantasy/fabulist/very lightly speculative people then don't realize I'm open to them!!

Is that the sound of a query box re-opening? This Wednesday, send me some hopeful science fiction and secondary world fantasy, and paranormal heists, please! And see the rest of my #MSWL here: corvisieroagency.com/gabrielle-harbowy.html #AmAgenting #Querying

Hi, all! I’m open to queries again starting today! Here are some specifics about what I’m on the hunt for but you can read my longer wishlist (and access my query form!) here: corvisieroagency.com/alexandra-grana.html

...Also PLEASE send me sci fi horror. I want to be terrified like I was with Dead Space. Show me cosmic terror and science getting out of control, science breaking loose! I want all the chaos! 9/

Adult/YA Sci Fi: The more science the better! Extrapolations on current science/tech is my jam. I would also love a story set in space/space station, or set after an apocalypse....8/

Adult/YA Fantasy: I am aching for cozy fantasy, low stakes feel good stories. Fresh twists on vampires and werewolves are also on my list! Magical food or music, yes please send it! If you can comp a Studio Ghibli title 👀 I also love genre blends like sci fantasy ... 6/

MG SciFi: I would love something set on a space station or space ship or set hundreds of years into the future! Kids exploring new worlds a la the Robinsons is a big yes!

MG Mystery: I am open to this genre so long as it is blended with one of the other genres above! 5/

I'm still not the best fit for SF (aside from 5-min in the future/grounded SF or the aforementioned horror), or books that are sports-centric or where MC is an athlete. I'm not open to adult fiction (for now), poetry/novels-in-verse, non-fiction, picture books, early readers.

Another #mswl I've been wanting to find forEVER is a genre-blended YA sci-fi/horror akin to Alien (or even The Thing I think would count). Atmospheric, not super tech heavy, isolated, far from home, trapped with an extraterrestrial horror. Those kinda vibes.

I made some tiny updates to my #MSWL to reflect a few more things I'm excited to see (and maybe remove a few things that haven't been working for me). If you comp What Happened in Skinner, please query me!!

I also really want science fiction horror! Please send me your horror set in space! Show me science getting out of control or defying all possibilities and breaking loose! 7/?

Adult/YA Science Fiction:

For me, the more science the better! I love extrapolations on current science/tech. I love stories set in space or that involve space travel or are set after some sort of catastrophe/apocalypse. 6/?
