Send a Query to Stefanie Rossitto at The Tobias Agency

View this agent's QueryTracker profile.

I am now open to queries again and am looking forward to seeing your project. Please note that I am doing adult fiction only. Send me your women's fiction, rom-coms and romances (romantasy, horromance, cozy romance/ rom-coms) novels that are:

timely, fresh, high-concept and have a unique hook or spin on how we think about life or learn something new about life. I would love to see a project on skiing and sustainability and anything set in the mountains. I always love literary references, academic settings and witty, sarcastic banter. I want female heroines that are strong characters, a bit rough-around-the-edges but find their path and purpose in the world, ideally in an unconventional way. Speculative/ magical or fantastical elements encouraged!

I am especially looking for a dark, funny rom-com and a genre-blend of romance and detective story a la Agatha Christie.

Women's fiction: I'd love to see more stories around immigration, cultural differences and diversity, mother, daughter and granddaughter stories, dysfunctional families, plots around siblings and friends, found family. I want our heroines to have second marriages, third careers and to reinvent their lives over and over again while inspiring everyone around them. I am looking for compulsive and playful reads that address heavy themes in a lighthearted way. I am particularly fascinated with the theme of inheritance: what do we inherit from our ancestors? How does it get passed down? What stays - what goes?

I always love university and small-town settings, but also exotic locales that are a bit underrepresented. Same goes for historical time periods.
