#manuscriptwishlist #mswl I want sci-fi with the same spacefarers-as-seafarers feel as the best Star Trek series. Master and Commander but in space. Drama on the bridge. Mutiny in the lower decks. Emotions (mostly) repressed because the chain of command doesn't allow for them.

I'm looking for picture books, chapter books, middle grade, YA, and speculative adult fiction. I'm open to science fiction for the first time; please be gentle with me.

I'm NOT currently accepting queries for graphic novels.

I'm open to middle grade queries!

#MSWL - This is the sort of scary AI stuff I'm looking for when I wrote this on my MSWL blog post:

"Grounded on our world (and not too far in the future) science fiction with technology that will terrify humans and/or potentially make them extinct."

😨

In graphic novels I'm looking for...cinematic panel sequences, buddy adventure fantasy, dreamy solar punk sci-fi coming of age through language, speculative cultural narratives, stories where places feels like a character #mswl

In adult fiction I'm looking for...speculative horror/thriller, contemporary romance, philosophical sci-fi, fantasy with cozy magical realism, identity driven book club fiction #mswl

📢 I am officially OPEN to queries! Full #MSWL in bio, but here’s a highlight of what I’m looking for in 2026:

High, high, HIGH on my 2026 wish list is YA SFF, a cast of characters with distinct personalities, mayhem, pirates, humor, and protagonists with hearts of gold who are also a little too clever for their own good.

You know what I'm seeking? TREASURE PLANET. Please send me anything that comps! #MSWL

"Send me science fiction with high genre elements – think science fantasy and space opera like GIDEON THE NINTH and SOME DESPERATE GLORY."
Rose Ferrao #MSWL

Adult genre fiction, especially horror (send all your horror!!!), mystery/thriller, and romance. Selectively happy to consider sci-fi and fantasy.

And as many know I’ve spent a long time in children’s, and I’m still considering all children’s titles for Zando. Many more…

Hello 2026! As we get closer to the new year—and my query inbox reopening—it’s time for me to update what I’m looking for. I saw a lot of fabulous projects in 2025 (but more on that later), and I’m excited about what I might find in 2026. #mswl

"Send me upmarket genre fiction: fantasy, grounded science fiction, magical realism, and horror."

Think cloning and biohacking, near space travel, and time travel! I’m interested in near futures and familiar settings that amplify that under your skin feeling to explore our relationship to technology #mswl

In addition, I'm looking for adult genre fiction, ranging from romance, mystery/thriller, and selectively sci-fi and fantasy. #Agents send me the things that blur genre too. #mswl

MSWL (2/?)

All the horror. Particularly humor & sci fi

Creatures features from cultures not often explored (would love an indigenous author focusing on lore from their legends)

Vibes: Mike Flanagan, A24 films, Annabelle, Oculus, Get Out, Hide & Seek, The Ritual, Talk to Me

Second, I'm in dire need of more SFF across age groups. Please send me your ✨️ magical ✨️ manuscripts!

With only a few months left in the year, I thought it was time to update my #MSWL !

I'm not closing to any genres, but I'm eager to acquire more romance and genre fiction. It's where I've been drawn in my personal reading, and I would love my agent list to reflect those books that have drawn me in!
