My Manuscript Wish List®
Hello! I’m an editor at Entangled Publishing currently acquiring both YA and Adult novels. While I’m open to multiple genres, a high concept plot and a strong voice are essential. A strong romantic element is also appreciated (though not necessary for thrillers). For romantic storylines, I prefer a slow burn.
I’m particularly looking for fantasy (high fantasy & contemporary fantasy), paranormal, mystery, thrillers, and romcoms. I’m also open to contemporary but tend to be more selective – it would have to have a standout voice and a strong conflict.
In general, I’m a fan of:
- Morally grey characters
- Ensemble casts
- Found family
- Enemies-to-lovers
- Dark academia
- Settings as a character
I’m not currently looking for historical.
