Wish List
Thanks so much for your interest. I am currently closed to new queries and, due to some family obligations, will need to remain closed for the time being. Once I am able to consider additional new material, I will reopen with a revised wish list. Keep an eye on this space and on social media for updates. Thanks for your patience, and best of luck with your writing.
Please note: I am no longer seeking anything for the young adult or middle grade markets.
All queries should go through my Query Manager submission portal. I look forward to reading your work.
Ugh…my latest hero is a perfect example of “dubious moral fiber”. Hasn’t gone to the CPs yet, so it probably won’t hit the query trenches until then. Patience is a virtue…
Great idea, posting your wish list… How to get just what you want? It might really be just as simple as asking. 🙂 Hope you find them & maybe you’ll start an agent trend (beyond #mswl, also a good idea).
I LOVE this, and heartily recommend that you tell all of your agent friends to do something similar. Ha! But, really, this is great. I thought of querying you with my science fiction novel, but after reading what you are really looking for I am going to put that on the back burner to pursue others who are looking specifically for that genre. Really, a great idea!
Ah, if only I’d had this for The Brede Chronicles. My readers have a love/hate relationship with Alekzander Brede…
Hi Nephele! I’m SO glad I found your site! Lots of great information here. My only regret is that the trickling raindrops across the text look like the spots I get in my eyes before a migraine and I feel like I’m getting one when I’m trying to read your posts. (So weird, I know… I just want to browse more but I’m afraid I need to look away!) Best Regards!
Turned the snow off! Certainly don’t want to give anyone migraine flashbacks. Thanks for letting me know. 😉
Thank you Nephele. This is extremely helpful. Wish all agents did the same. Blessings.

Your wish list here includes fantasy, but this is not one of the genres included for YA in your Query Manager. Is it okay to submit a YA fantasy (specifically for me it’s a science fantasy).
I’m only reviewing adult fantasy at the moment. Thanks for checking.
