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.

In romance, some of my favorite tropes are slow burn, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, and forbidden love.

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

Submission Guidelines

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

Even though I love reading YA, I do not represent it.

Please use my Query Manager link to submit your query letter and the first three chapters of your manuscript. If you would like, you can include a short synopsis.​I aim to respond to all queries within four weeks.

Please keep in mind that I take an editorial approach, so if you become a client, there might be rounds of revisions.
