OPEN TO QUERIES

To submit, please send query letter, synopsis, and three chapters via Querytracker:

PLEASE DO NOT QUERY ME VIA EMAIL OR ANY OTHER AVENUE.

Seeking:

  • Rich and subtle world building like Wilder Girls or The Mortal Engine series

  • Normalized trans and non-binary existence in worldbuilding, like the Tales of the High Court series

  • Shamelessly manga and fanfic inspired stories like Foxhole Court

  • Silk punk, Asian attitudes, historical revision that doesn’t think Europe invented the world (Socrates was born after Confucius died! Genghis Khan was a contemporary of King John! Guns were being used in China before the English invented longbows!)

  • Reworking myth and gods and their influence, like The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps and American Gods

  • Sexy, dark, magical horror, like the Hexslinger series

  • Queer romance with high stakes, like Lord of the White Hell

  • Middle Grade protagonists who cry and fail and try anyways, like How to Train Your Dragon

  • F/F romance, friendship, and intersectional girl gangs against the world

  • Ride-or-die friendships and high stakes, like The Raven Cycle

Not Seeking:

  • AI-generated or assisted work in any form

  • Non-fiction

  • Genre fiction that perpetrates the racist, colonial, imperialistic, sexist, ableist tropes of the past

  • Non-intersectional representation; no victories at the expense of another group

  • Low stakes, excessive realism
