An updated #MSWL thread! In general, I’m looking for Adult, YA, & MG fiction. I'm drawn to romance, horror, lower SFF, and genre blending & am always looking for more diverse perspectives. I am NOT right for erotica, non-fic, lit fic, or lower MG/chap books. Specifics below.

In YA, I am NOT typically the right fit for historical, high fantasy or sci-fi with heavy worldbuilding, European-inspired fantasy settings, Arthurian retellings, space operas, dystopian, teen pregnancy stories, eating disorders, horse books, zombies.

MISC: -I’m looking for illustrated graphic novels in MG and YA (I’m not taking script ONLY atm) -I am open to the occasional PB with a focus on stories about culture and family or navigating the world through a different lens -I always have my eye out for more Canadian authors!

Most things I won’t rule out completely (especially if it’s from a fresh perspective or underrepped voice), so if you’re not sure, please feel free to query me anyway! I'm so honored to be trusted with your stories & am so excited to see more wonderful projects in my inbox! 🥰

In YA I’m also looking for: -mystery -horror -retellings/reimaginings (that don’t stick TOO CLOSE to the source)

Genre-blending narratives -mysteries/suspense/thrillers set in more sci-fi or fantasy worlds -speculative romance -horror elements blended into SFF (cosmic horror-esque) -surprise me!!

SFF -lower SFF/accessible worldbuilding -contemporary fantasy (whether light and fun or dark and spooky) -magical academies/dark academia -thought-provoking sci-fi -near future or tech focused sci-fi (versus space operas)

YOUNG ADULT In YA, I am open to a wide variety of genres. Specifically. I’m looking for: Romance -contemporary with a strong hook -laugh-out-loud romcoms -speculative twists (timeloops, vampires, magic, ghosts, etc.)

In Adult, I would particularly love a funny/satirical horror, a humorous, over-the-top mystery/thriller, or a locked room mystery in a spec fic setting. I'm NOT typically the right fit for hist fic, military, police procedurals, high fantasy/sci-fi, dystopian, or literary fic.

I am NOT typically the right fit for historical/regency, medical, Christmas, cowboy/western, or dark romances. I’m also not the right fit for police/detective love interests, and heavy/serious romantic thrillers or suspense.

-Adventure and/or heist roms (the more bonkers, the better) -Contemporary romance/rom coms (though it needs to have a strong voice and strong hook) -Nerdy/fandom romances (comic con, cosplay, fanart/fanfic, D&D, etc.) -sports roms (particularly BIPOC and/or LGBTQ)

ADULT I’m primarily looking for romance, specifically: -Romance with a spec twist (witches, ghosts, magic, timeloops, love spells, soulmates, etc.) -Romantasy (but the worldbuilding needs to feel very grounded and accessible with the focus more on the “rom” than the “fantasy”)

Starting my 31st year with another writing milestone-I'm on sub! My incredible writer friends commissioned some incredible character art from @aeyochi for my YA spec scifi book🩸DRAINED🩸ft. vampiric tech, a noir capitalist hellscape, and gore. I'm!!!!! First lines 🧵👇
Commissioned art by @aeyochi 2024. The image is black and white, with red accents representing blood. It features two teenagers, one boy and one girl. The girl has a hand on the boy. The boy is cut on the neck and his clothes (white button-down shirt and vest) are covered in blood spatter. The girl has red tubing on her gloves, dress, as well as her neck and head (simulating flapper jewelry).
