Aiden Siobhan

Hello querying writer! My name is Aiden Siobhan, and I am an associate literary agent at Laura Dail Literary Agency. I represent Adult, Young Adult, Adult/YA crossover, selection Middle Grade fiction and Graphic Novels.

I am most interested in genre fiction, primarily fantasy, horror, historical, romance, and science fiction. I’m open to all sub-genres and I love genre mashing and multi-genre books! I am only open to author-illustrators for Graphic Novels, and am only open to memoirs in this style.

I really want to see more of this in my inbox:

• Queer and trans horror
• Historical fantasy, romance, and horror/gothic
• Unique retellings from new POVs
• Mystery subplots
• Genre mashing & weird SFF
• Grounded & rule-based magic systems

If your book comps to these, send it my way:

• Hell Followed With Us
• Red, White & Royal Blue
• The Great, Pride & Prejudice, or Little Women
• Merlin / Arthurian-inspired stories
• Twelfth Night / Shakespeare adaptations
• Heathers, Wicked, or Be More Chill

I am not the best fit for:

• Novels in verse.
• Straight romances. They’re not usually my cup of tea, but you should still query me if you think I will enjoy your book based on other MSWL asks.
• Talking animals and animal POVs.
• Humorous middle grade and lower MG.
• Contemporary fiction. If it’s set in the modern day with no genre fiction elements, I may not be the right agent for it.
