Calah Singleton

Hi there, thanks for taking a look! I’m Calah, an editor at Hodderscape (the science fiction, fantasy and horror imprint of Hodder & Stoughton, a division of Hachette). Before I go on, please note that I only accept agented submissions.

So, what do I want?

At the moment I am primarily looking for adult and YA/crossover fantasy novels. I’ll also consider softer sci-fi (no space operas, please!). I’d love to acquire more books by Global Majority writers. Flavours of SFF/sub-genres/elements I particularly love:

• Dark academia
• Cosy
• Urban fantasy
• Afrofuturism
• Humorous
• Magical beasts
• Heists
• Epic, especially featuring Global Majority protagonists and worlds
• Portal fantasy
• Espionage/secret agencies
• Secret societies
• Murder mysteries, Agatha Christie style
• Neurodivergent characters
• Queer characters
• Gothic
• Folklore, fairy tale retellings and reimagined myths (particularly Global Majority)
• The Fae
• Hopepunk/softer sci-fi
• Found family
• Historical

Submission Guidelines

Submissions should be emailed to hodderscape@hodder.co.uk

Please note that I only accept agented submissions at this time.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to respond to un-agented submissions – but thank you so much for your interest, and best of luck!
