Send a Query to Jess Taylor at Martin Literary Management

Thank you for querying me! If your manuscript falls into one of these categories, I would love to read it.

Young Adult:

I'm open to any subgenre except tech-heavy science fiction. I adore fresh and unique concepts as well as tried-and-true tales. Retellings of myths, fairy tales, or classic stories are always appreciated, and I love a good paranormal romance (especially if there's mermaids).

New Adult

I am specifically open to new adult romance titles featuring characters under twenty-five and focused on coming-of-age stories.

Romance

Witchy and cozy fantasy romances will always be on my TBR. If you have a book like The Kiss Curse, Love's a Witch or The Nightmare Before Kissmas, I want to read it.

I know I love a book when I can't stop thinking about it. LGBTQ+ books are always welcome, and previously self-published titles are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Please do not query:

-Adult fiction in any genre aside from the romance subgenres listed above

-Nonfiction

-Middle Grade

-Faith-Based

-Books over 150k words
