Daniel Niv

I love stories with a compelling hook, an emphasis on character development, high stakes, and plot twists. I enjoy reading stories with diverse voices from all backgrounds. I am always intrigued by historical or unique settings. I like manuscripts with vulnerable protagonists who discover their strengths, and I am drawn to morally gray or flawed characters.

Fiction: I am particularly interested in reading more New Adult fiction, especially fantasy with an emphasis on romantasy.

I love magical realism, gothic and dark academia, family saga, as well as historical novels and retellings.

When it comes to romance, I’m drawn to tropes like slow burn, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, and forbidden love. I especially enjoy stories where the romance enhances the narrative rather than serving as the sole focus—where characters fall in love as they actively pursue or accomplish something meaningful (or, you know, just trying to survive monsters). I’m less inclined to take on contemporary rom-coms.

Non-Fiction: I am interested in historical narratives with compelling storytelling (preferably related to wartime), and works on spirituality and esoteric topics.

I’m open to adult fiction and non-fiction queries.
