Send a Query to Brady McReynolds at JABberwocky Literary Agency
But here is what I do want:
SCIENCE-FICTION: Space opera in the vein of Ian M. Banks’ Culture series and Peter F. Hamilton’s Salvation trilogy, military SF like Jack Campbell’s the Lost Fleet, thrillers like Mur Lafferty’s Six Wakes, and near-future tales like Liu Cixin’s Three Body Problem. Other favorites include: the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells and Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro.
FANTASY: Cozy fantasy like Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree, sweeping historical sagas such as Babel by R.R. Kuang, and grim-dark tales like Joe Abercrombie's The Heroes. I prefer secondary worlds in the vein of The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin, complex magic systems (a la Brandon Sanderson), epic fantasy (both with or without a strong romantic edge), fairy tale/myth re-tellings (especially from non-western cultures), and more literary works such as The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez.
SPECULATIVE FICTION: Similar to the SF/F above, I am always interested in stories that contain elements of the fantastic and far-flung but that might not fit neatly into those categories. MJ Wassmer’s Zero Stars: Do Not Recommend and Adam Oyebanji’s Esperance are good examples of those sorts of stories; as well as flat-out “new weird” stories like Borne by Jeff VanderMeer.
