Brenna has always gravitated to unique stories with a strong point of view. She specialises in adult science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and gothic horror. She’s also interested in Westerns from a queer and/or BIPOC POV.
Please send her your queries for:
Contemporary and second world fantasy (adult, or crossover)
High concept space operas (adult)
Gothic fantasy (adult, or crossover)
Horror (adult, or crossover)
Classic mystery (adult)
Any combination of the above!
In every genre, Brenna is looking for beautiful, gripping writing, settings that could be another character, exciting, surprising characters, and relationship-driven plots with personal stakes. Elements of a story that are sure to catch her eye are time loops and time travel, a masterful understanding of genre conventions and how to subvert them, and investigations of large power imbalances within all kinds of relationships. At the moment, she is most excited about finding a classic mystery with a solarpunk setting.

Agent Impersonation Scams are becoming commonplace.
A legitimate agent will not contact you and request money to represent you. Never pay an agent an up-front fee. That is not how literary agent representation works. Agents earn a commission only after they've landed a publishing deal for you. Also, agents scarcely ever contact writers. If an agent that you haven't queried contacts you about representation, be suspicious. Look up the agent and check if the email address is correct for that agent/agency.
