Her webpage bio says she's looking for reimaginings of myths, fairy tales and folklore, but then says do not send her fantasy. That's a tricky demand. But also, her QT genres include Fantasy. Getting mixed signals here.

My manuscript likely skews more sci-fi than speculative, and her online profile says she is not a good fit for sci-fi.
