Thank you so much for considering me for your representation!

If I have not responded by 3 months at the earliest, feel free to check in. Be sure that your query is 1 page, the synopsis is no more than 2 double spaced pages, and the first 5 pages are the very first ones from your book (if you have a prologue, send Ch 1 and then send the prologue if I request more)! I also ask that you include any trigger warnings necessary for your title. Including these does not ensure a pass, but it does help myself and my readers to prepare for the subject matter.

If submitting a graphic novel, give me the pitch, synopsis of the full story, 5 pages of script, and any available artwork samples. If artwork file is too big to upload, feel free to put a link in your query where I can view it. What I really want to hear most are your book details—character, conflict, and consequences—with a brief bio.

Also, save the reply email that allows you to check your query status! This is also the link that will allow you to message me to report if you've received an alternate offer.

Adult, YA, MG

Horror

Fantasy

Contemporary

Suspense/Thriller/Mystery

Deff on the hunt for more horror. Genre blending encouraged! Particularly looking for humor horror and sci fi horror

Creature features with animals/myths from cultures that aren’t often explored (would love an indigenous author focusing on lore from their legends)

Vibes: anything Mike Flanagan, A24 films, Annabelle, Oculus, Get Out, Hide & Seek, The Ritual, Talk to Me

Fantasy - pretty open as long as it’s not repetitive of what we’ve been seeing a ton of lately

Not a fit for Fae/Faeries, werewolves, elves

Contemporary - slice of life, “one day” stories, LGBTQ+, impactful stories; not necessarily looking for warm/fluffy contemporary right now; not a fit for SA, Drug Abuse, or child/animal abuse

Suspense/Thriller/Mystery - open to comedy in these but do love gritty; dual timelines would be awesome, cold cases; speculative elements welcome

No cop procedurals or heavy police POVs

Yes to cults; religion welcome if leaning on the cult vibes or paranormal/mythological (think Midnight Mass)

GN - queer stories, horror GN, slice of life, pretty open
