YA: coming of age romance like Last Night at the Telegraph Club or Ari & Dante w/gorgeous prose; coming of gender; atmospheric gothic (like The Handmaiden); historical/nf; mystery/thrillers like Firekeeper's Daughter or Patron Saints of Nothing; character-driven speculative. 4/6

MG: character-driven fantasy/speculative/spooky; gorgeous verse novels; beautifully written coming-of-gender/gay stories w/ young people just beginning to come into their identity or discovering first love and crushes. Think Chiron in Moonlight when he's still a kid/preteen. 3/6

Not sure if you know this about me, but I LOVE 💗 stories. I will ALWAYS be open to adult Romance in my inbox. In ALL subgenres—contemporary, romcom, fantasy, stories w/speculative elements.

But I’m also open to other age groups & genres. Here’s a little more of my #MSWL

Something dark. Something speculative. Something testing and scary and creepy and thoughtful and bloody and romantic and ambitious and terrifying and mesmerizing.

once again cannot express how much I want a literary speculative fiction novel about Silicon Valley vampires

Woman, Eating meets Bad Blood meets whatever the fuck this guy is doing #mswl

"Send me cozy romance with a low speculative element (eg. THE EX HEX by Rachel Hawkins and WITCHFUL THINKING by Celestine Martin)."

GENRES (2/2):
I want to see even more:
• Fantasy/sci-fi/speculative! (Yes, the whole spectrum, from magical realism to epic/high/hard)
• Myth/folklore!
• (Queer) romance!
• Mystery!
• Historical!

Very excited to announce that I will be opening my Query Manager officially next week! A link to my MSWL is in my bio, but I will also be sharing a thread of some of the things I'm looking for here. Can't wait to start reading

"I like a strong romance plotline in a speculative setting like THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY by Megan Bannen, and OCEAN'S ECHO by Everina Maxwell."

#MSWL just dropped 👀 Send me your weirds!

manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kels…

Firstly, I know Querytracker says I'm closed but I am open! Just not quite open to absolutely everyone. Please query me (querymanager.com/AllegraMartsch…) if you are:
—A BIPOC spec fic writer
—A marginalized writer w/one of my dream projects (see my website)

2/3

Reminder, as we go into the weekend! My query policy changes Monday, #MSWL

I’m also looking for speculative romance in general, whether it has a big SFF element like THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY and WINTER’S ORBIT or a romance with speculative elements like WITCHFUL THINKING and THE EX HEX.

I'd love some genre fiction (thriller/suspense/crime/speculative) from unique perspectives with authentic and unusual narrative voices. But I'm not the best fit for true crime or epic fantasy.

🎟️ Speculative futures not set in American cities

💀 Horror you want to hide from while you keep reading, things that make you say “gross”

🕰️ More mystery in everything! I love a goal. Speculative? Give it a mystery. Contemp romance? Give it a mystery!! Mystery? Go ahead and slap another mystery in there, baby!!!

📽️ Tightly paced, high-tension character driven stories you can’t put down. Slice of life is not for me
