WHAT I REP (updated Jan. 2026)
I ONLY represent ADULT novels and ADULT graphic novels in these core categories: romance, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Manuscripts should be polished and completed before querying me.

WHAT I LOOK FOR
I’m seeking high stakes, solid conflicts, mounting tension, endearing characters, engaging dialogue, and emotional depth. The tone can be dark or light. Stories taken from a new perspective or experienced in a fresh way usually catches my attention. I want intriguing cultures, gripping adventures, strong heroic and villainous arcs, and life or death moments on the page. Knock me over with emotions. In Horror, I prefer SFF blended with Horror. I want to see the darker side of science, or the cost of too much magic. Break the characters, but let them rise on newly mended bones. Give me fresh takes in paranormal romance and urban fantasy romance. Also seeking stories with Mandalorian-styled single fathers, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC protagonists as lead characters, more space operas, more non-Milky Way planet colonies, more alien species POVs in stories.

WHAT TO SEND
Fiction query: include the first 10 pages of Chapter 1.
Graphic Novel query: include a link to your online portfolio/sample.
