Send a Query to Natascha at Tobias Literary Agency

Natascha is actively seeking diverse, voice-driven fiction across age categories, with a strong emphasis on commercial appeal and joyful, intersectional storytelling. Think unforgettable authentic characters, hooky concepts with strong plotting and an emotional core, and unique voices or visions!

In picture books, Natascha loves fun and heartfelt concepts, especially those with a slightly spooky or whimsical edge—think Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends vibes or poison gardens. Author-illustrators are welcome, and Natascha is drawn to both lyrical literary narratives and energetic, high-concept stories that stand out.

Natascha’s tastes skew escapist and character-focused, with a particular love for fantasy, mysteries, horror, speculative fiction, and romantic comedies. She’s inspired by titles like An Ember in the Ashes, Truly Devious, and Begin Again, and gravitates toward concepts that blend genre (mystery with rom-com, fantasy with workplace drama, etc.). Quirky, clever mashups like “Elle Woods in a murder mystery” or “Sex Education meets Lady Whistledown” would hit the sweet spot! Overall, she is looking for layered characters dealing with real emotional arcs in strongly plotted stories. Specific wishlist items include comedic fantasy with a contemporary voice, mermaid narratives (both atmospheric and fun), secret advice columns, and resistance stories with teens creating underground side hustles or protesting censorship and dress codes.

In adult fiction, Natascha’s taste leans toward cozy, comedic, and high-concept commercial projects. She loves grounded fantasy, whimsical British-style narration, and stories with crossover appeal or a coming-of-age adult voice. Natascha is especially drawn to books that feel both emotionally resonant and fun—like The House in the Cerulean Sea or Assistant to the Villain. She’s excited to find manuscripts that surprise her with genre play, heartfelt humor, or a fresh lens on timeless themes.

Across all genres, she’s especially interested in voices from marginalized communities, including authors with disabilities and chronic illnesses.

Please note, she is not open to science fiction in any category.
