Country United States AI Policy Human-created work only; no AI use allowed Fiction Open Josey is seeking unconventional but logical middle grade and young adult fiction and enjoys crossover genres. In adult commercial fiction she is looking for romance-mystery crossovers, high-stakes cozy or contemporary romance and romantic stories with supernatural or unusual elements. She is also searching for intelligent, well-paced mysteries, contemporary character-driven private investigator fiction and whodunnits with compelling relationships, humorous, voice-first women’s fiction, distinctive comic voices and elegant prose with a succinct but insightful narrative style. She is looking for strong voices that surprise her, as well as storytelling that leads to contemplation long after the last word is read. She is always open to diverse, neurodivergent, under-represented and marginalized voices.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Adults, Children, Middle grades.Genres: General Mystery/Crime Open to all/most Subgenres Romance Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Romantic MysteryLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: QueryTracker.

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.
