Hi! Thank you for considering me to represent you and your work.

If your manuscript fits any of these genres/descriptions or has any of these comp titles, I would love for you to query me!

This is obviously not an exhaustive list, but it’s a bit of what I’m most excited for right now.

Currently Looking For:

✍️ A young adult or new adult amateur sleuth mystery in the vein of Veronica Mars.
✍️ A humorous horror novel.
✍️ Magical realism or grounded speculative romance like Ashley Poston, Rebecca Serle, Kristy Greenwood, etc.
✍️ Upmarket magical realism in the vein of The Measure, The Midnight Library, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Time Traveler's Wife, etc.
✍️ Paranormal romance in the vein of Good Spirits by B.K. Borison and Haunted Ever After by Jen DeLuca.
✍️ Romantic suspense like Catherine Cowles.
✍️ Light dark romance in the vein of Lights Out by Navessa Allen.
✍️ Psychological dark romance in the vein of Still Beating by Jennifer Hartmann.
✍️ Psychological thriller like Vera Kurian, Lisa Jewell, Jennifer Hillier, Gillian Flynn, Shari Lapena, Liv Constantine, etc.
✍️ Paranormal thriller like Lisa Unger or Simone St. James.
✍️ Emotionally devastating romance stories (young adult, new adult, or adult) like Jennifer Hartmann, Cara Bastone, Tillie Cole, etc.

Open to all levels of spice
Open to single, dual, or multi POV
Open to multiple timelines

*Please note: I have a passion for stories that feature characters who have disabilities, chronic illnesses, mental illnesses, are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, or are a part of other marginalized communities.*

Please do NOT send me the following, as I will not be a good fit for them:

KidLit or Middle Grade
Mid- or High-Fantasy or Romantasy
Science Fiction
Historical Fiction
Historical or Regency Romance
Political War Fiction
Graphic novels (not to be confused with novels containing graphic scenes)
Nonfiction

Thank you again for considering me to represent you and your work. I know the amount of time and effort that goes into writing a story; I look forward to reading yours.

Best,
Nikki
