Collapse section Fiction Open On the fiction side, she enjoys stories with dystopian settings that explore human interaction with increasing technology; cozy fantasies with warmth and high fantasies with court politics or moral ambiguity; sweeping romances or those with unconventional pairings, such as slasher romcom or horror romances; and strange, cozy horror. In the speculative space, she is particularly interested in mythical creatures that go against norms or plots that subvert typical tropes. She also welcomes high-concept genre mashups or weird girl fiction — particularly anything with a surrealism and an unreliable narrator.Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: Adults.Genres: General Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres Horror Open to all/most Subgenres, excluding Extreme Horror Romance Open to all/most Subgenres, including: Contemporary, Gothic, Historical, Regency, Romantic Fantasy, Romantic Horror Science Fiction Open to all/most Subgenres, including: DystopianLengths: NovelStyles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Literary, Mainstream.Topics: Open to all/most Topics.Submissions:Method: Email.

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.
