I’d love to see more legal thrillers and fantasy in Adult (and fantasy is always welcome in YA, too!) #mswl

Whoever said they were Kaz and Inej coded was SPOT. ON. If they have this energy (adult or YA), I want to see it #MSWL

I really want to see more YA Fantasy in my inbox. Romantic Fantasy, grounded/contemporary fantasy, paranormal fantasy. Light magic, spooky magic, bizarre magic. Dark, frothy and fun, ALL OF IT. #mswl

I would love to find trans femme #YA writers in my query box. #MSWL

i feel like i've said this before but i will say again that i would love a YA or MG historical fiction set during the AIDS epidemic! #mswl

I am ONLY looking for YA/New Adult/Adult stories in romance, rom-coms, romantasy, upmarket/book club fiction, and women's fiction. OK to cross into the magical side of speculative (time travel, time slip, parallel universe stories a la THE SEVEN YEAR SLIP by Ashley Poston)

#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.

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

Adult/YA Horror: It takes a lot to scare me, so hit me with your best shot! I want to be terrified so that I can't sleep. I want sentient settings, scares that mess with your mind, where the lines of reality are blurred...10/

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/

I am focused on representing marginalized voices. I will not ask you to identify unless you feel comfortable doing so, but I am dedicated to uplifiting those voices and want my client list to reflect that.

I'm only looking for Adult, YA and MG. I'll go through each below 3/

*NEW: In both MG & YA, I learned over my first year that I'm almost always a better fit for contemporary fantasy than I am for genre fantasy.

Still happy to consider fantasy if you think I'm a strong fit for other reasons, but this is something I want to be forthright about!

YA and MG contemporary fantasy: My second love! I’m interested in the same topics, and will look foremost for lyrical writing and character focus, with unique but very grounded magic systems. Comp: THE NATURE OF WITCHES by Rachel Griffin.

YA and upper MG contemporary continue to be my first priority! Lyrical prose, novels-in-verse, “dark and gritty,” “issue-driven,” character-driven, voice-y. I want to feature LGBTQIA+ voices, BIPOC voices, disability and chronic illness, mental health and neurodivergence, grief.

In my first year, I took on two extraordinary clients (@k_dishmon and Nicole Zelniker, who are unequivocally the best) for their beautiful YA novels. I'm still actively seeking YA, as well as upper MG, and am sparingly open to picture books.

I'm a queer, chronically ill, disabled junior agent at McIntosh & Otis. I’m acquiring (in order of priority) YA, MG, and PB.

I studied English, literary criticism, poetry, and creative writing.

I look very flowery and sunshiny above, but I also love the hard, sad books!
