* Moving forward, I will be opening the first week of every month, and then closing for the rest of the month. It's my hope with this system I can be open longer but also keep up to date with the queries in my inbox. NEXT OPEN DATE: November 1 - 7. I am currently open to:
Queer romance ALL AGES
Horror ALL AGES
Adult speculative
Adult thriller
Adult sci-fi
Author / Illustrators for GN and PBs
Specific wishlist:
ABOVE ALL, I prioritize diverse voices from those diverse communities.
Gay as hell horror. Or just in general gay as hell books.
Weird little books that don't fit neatly into genre boxes (like WE WERE DRAGONS or NOTHING TO SEE HERE).
If your book is a commentary on big social or emotional topics, I'd love to see it.
If you write with lyrical or "purple" prose, it's going to be my cup of tea.
Where my list feels full right now:
Kidlit across the board. Kidlit is my first love and always will be my favorite, but right now I want to expand my list to adult. If you're an editor wondering about my taste in kidlit, check out my client tab to learn more!
Fantasy. Again, adore fantasy, but I want to focus on my clients who have already signed with me and their whimsical stories.
I am NOT open to (if you send this to me, it's an auto reject):
MG unless horror or queer romance / contemporary
YA unless horror or queer romance
PB authors only
Historical fiction
Contemporary fiction
Adult high-fantasy
Fun Facts About Me:
I love coffee and have a large collection of mugs I'm constantly adding to.
I am a Taurus Sun but an Aries Moon and I STRONGLY identify with both of these signs for many different reasons.
Korean food is my all-time favorite.
I love traveling, and my favorite place I've visited is Ireland. Top on the list to go to next is either Japan or Canada.
I have the world's largest sweet tooth, but I especially love sour candy.
If I'm not listening to Taylor Swift or Noah Kahan or lo-fi in the background, I'm watching horror video game play throughs. Gab Smolders is my favorite Youtuber by far!
I adore playing tennis, even if I get way too heated on the courts sometimes. I'm out there multiple times a week and have been known to text clients "hold that thought, it's tennis time".
My dog is the light of my life, and you will often hear him barking during meetings.
I love playing video games! Right now, I'm playing Fortnite just about every night. But I'm also a big fan of Dead by Daylight, Town of Salem, Stardew Valley, Sims, and MORE.
I was born and raised in the south and still here to this day! Specifically, good ol' Georgia.
