Specifically says "no science fiction" on her query form! But on her webpage says okay to submit MG scifi!

Hi andyscontras, She was only added to their website today, and so is now listed on QT.

Why is Bre Stephens not listed as an agent here?

alilbryn, She keeps going back and forth from what I've seen because originally she was open to it, then she was closed to it and now it's like a hybrid-type thing. If I had to guess, science fiction and fantasy would be a very difficult if not impossible sell with her.

Her MSWL is highly confusing. Firstly, her agency bio pages states:

"In any genre, I am especially seeking stories written by marginalized authors. If you've written an authentic story featuring supernatural creatures, non-Western myths/legends, and horror, I highly encourage you to query me."

In any genre, to me, means including fantasy. And she also says she wants supernatural creatures, and myths/legends. That also suggests fantasy to me.

Then she also says:

"What I'm NOT looking for: Angels, demons, werewolves, zombies, mermaids, vampires, or pirates, or time travel."

And on her QueryManager page, it says, "Please do NOT submit to me the following:
• Fantasy/Science Fiction."

Lastly, on her QueryManager drop-down box for genre, fantasy is an option.

So, which is it? Is she open to fantasy from marginalised authors, or no fantasy at all? Fantasy is listed here as one of her genres but I'm not sure that it should be.
