Laura Dail Literary Agency
My Manuscript Wish List®
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.
