Send a Query to Rebecca Matte at Bradford Literary Agency

Hello and thank you for thinking of me for your work! For more detail on what I am seeking, please take a look at my page on the Bradford Literary Agency website. As of June 1, 2026, I will be open until I reach 100 queries only for queer romance with magical elements, YA or Adult.

This means grounded or low fantasy, where the romance is the main plot but it is enhanced by fantastical elements - think Sangu Mandanna and Sara Raasch for context. I am open to all pairings, including opposite sex couples where one of them is trans, ace, pan, or bi, and am always excited for more disability and overall diversity in my books. Please look at my MSWL for more detail on what I love!

If you have been referred to me by someone else and have a referral link, you are not subject to the genre limitation.

Fields marked (required) are required; all others are not necessary, but I encourage you to consider them. Please include the first chapter of your book, but no more than 10 pages.
