Send a Query to Bethany Weaver at Weaver Literary Agency
I'm looking for character-driven stories with beautiful world-building, diverse characters, and stories steeped in folklore and culture. I am always interested in stories with strong voices, gorgeous prose, and edgy hooks. Fantasy built around religion, especially Jewish fantasy, is fine, but please, no religious texts.
I'm drawn to ambitious, complex, and weird stories. I love intelligent characters with complex morality. I'm a fan of fantasies grounded in the contemporary world that seamlessly blends magic. If your story features romance of any kind, I'm all in.
YA supernatural thrillers/mysteries with toxic relationships, big emotions, betrayal, and found families.
I'm particularly drawn to queernormative worlds and stories that don't center homophobia or transphobia as the main conflict. I strongly believe in the importance of diverse stories and I'm always interested in reading and promoting them.
I have a soft spot for dark academia that focuses on the "losers." I love time loops, alternative lives, ensemble casts, genre-blending, soulmates, big platonic love, and cozy fantasies such as This Will Be Fun or Assistant to the Villain.
Multilayered stories with politics and intrigue, gods, monsters, wizards, shifting loyalties, portals, goblins, orcs - all of it. This list is in no way exhaustive.
The more dramatic and tension-filled, the better.
