Hello, querying writers! Welcome to my MSWL. Across the board, I’m seeking Adult and Young Adult Fiction by marginalized and underrepresented creators, from frothy books full of well-deserved joy, to epic romances across the galaxies, to rich contemporary stories, to monster-fighting and monstrous MC’s.

Unless otherwise requested, I only accept submissions through QueryManager.

In YA and Adult Fiction, I’m looking for:

- Character-driven fantasy rooted in folklore and culture, featuring diverse characters, myths, and monsters.

- Horror as a vehicle for exploring identity, otherness, and trauma.

- Genre crossovers and subgenres written from fresh perspectives; cozy sci-fi, horror romance, historical fantasy, etc.

- Queer contemporary and historical fiction with gorgeous prose and a strong hook.

- Queer and/or BIPOC romance and romcom. Steam (in adult romance) is very welcome but not required!

- Cozy mysteries for millennials.

- SFF with a strong romantic element, or romance with a strong SFF element. Send your sweeping, sexy Kushiel’s Dart-style epics, please!

In Nonfiction (reading selectively) I’m looking for:

- Deep dives into nerdy topics like TTRPG’s, cosplay, fandoms, and related pop culture

- A strong narrative voice paired with expertise, with comps like Radium Girls, The Victorian and the Romantic, Why Fish Don’t Exist

- Kid lit centering queer history

- Explorations of sustainability through an intersectional lens, food justice, urban gardening, and our relationship to the land

I am not currently looking for:

- Picture books, chapter books, or MG books

- Self-help or business nonfiction

- Very dark romance (heavier themes and discussions are absolutely fine, I just prefer my ships on the lighter side)

- Mysteries and thrillers with police protagonists or love interests
