I am looking for genre-blending commercial queer Fiction in YA/MG/Adult/Graphic Novels with a particular focus on BIPOC authors and authors of marginalized identities.
Status:
OPEN TO QUERIES
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
