Strictly looking for high concept, voicey, and character-driven adult & new adult fiction in the commercial, literary, and upmarket space:

Slow burn romance with a dark or psychological edge (paranormal, horror, gothic, or thriller elements)
Women’s fiction with a distinctive voice; relationship-centered, contemporary, domestic noir
Horror (psychological, body, supernatural, slasher)
Dark comedy and satire
Weird fiction; offbeat, genre-blending stories grounded in the real world (magical realism elements, liminal, surreal, & uncanny feel)
Fresh takes on classic stories

ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN:

Cross-genre projects of any of the genres listed above (dark comedy women's fiction, offbeat romance, a horror spin on a Biblical story)
Protagonists that are Black, LGBT+, and members of other underrepresented communities
Stories that don't center Blackness and/or queerness around trauma
Morally ambiguous/unapologetically terrible protagonists
Unreliable narrators
Unconventional tropes (especially in romance)

HARD PASSES:

Historical fiction
Science fiction
High/epic fantasy
Dystopias
"Must save the world" plots, "chosen one" protagonists
Miscommunication trope
Poorly written strong female characters

I look forward to reading your submission!
