Shania Soler: (Open to queries part of February)

 

  • Looking for novels in the fantasy genre or romance WITH SPICE
    • For fantasy, I'm interested in more than just the romance that two characters have. Give me intricate political and/or magic systems and complex character backstories.
    • For contemporary romance, I'm looking for things that take me off the beaten path. Think Butcher & Blackbird or Haunting Adeline.
  • Horror (Young Adult, New Adult, & Adult)

  • Mythology (Young Adult, New Adult, & Adult)

  • Magical Realism (Young Adult, New Adult, & Adult)

  • Historical Fiction (Please refer to the name hyperlink for further details)

  • Not a good fit for Crime thriller/suspense (FBI, Detective plots, or government plots)

​​

Kaylyn Aldridge: (Open to queries December, June, and July)

​

YA, New Adult, and Adult fiction across the following categories:

  • Romance (all heat levels welcome)

  • Coming-of-age stories

  • LGBTQ+ fiction

  • Commercial fiction

 

I especially enjoy:

  • Black stories and LGBTQ+ stories not centered around trauma

  • Dark, weird, and offbeat stories (think Jennifer’s Body, Ginger Snaps, Fresh, or Teeth)

  • Unique takes on classic stories

  • Paranormal romances (vampires, werewolves, ghosts, etc.)​

Not a good fit for:

  • Historical Fiction (across all genres)

  • Sci-fi (across all genres)

  • Epic or High Fantasy (across all genres)

​​​

Brian King (open to queries)

 

Open to YA and Adult fiction in the following:

  • High fantasy

    • I’m particularly interested in complex magic systems.

    • I want systems that limit the characters in interesting ways.

  • Urban Fantasy

  • Grim dark fantasy

    • I’m not interested in shock value violence. 

    • If the reasoning behind your world being bad feels like “because that seemed cool” I am not interested.  

  • Magical Realism 

  • Romantasy

  • I’m not interested in stories where the relationship is the point. Just an additional element.
