Madison Potter

I’m looking for strange horror that feels like a fever dream I never want to wake from, specifically surreal or psychological horror that explores the human experience. I’d also love to see more cozy horror—like if TJ Klune went dark and rogue. Horror sprinkled with dark and/or campy humor (Grady Hendrix adjacent) is always a treat, as well as fem-gore horror. If the MC has a vendetta that embodies female rage, it’s up my alley.

I’m moving away from the saturated fantasy tropes—princess with unknown abilities, sexy fae with sensual wings, dominant vampires, etc.—but I welcome dystopian fantasy, lady knights, odd or overlooked folklore, and high/low fantasy. I don’t need romance in my fantasy, but I generally prefer some connection to make the narrative more palatable.

I am staying open to romance. However, given the genre’s current marketability, I’d prefer romance with a speculative edge, sports romances, or dystopian romances.

Please note: I only represent adult fiction. I do not represent YA/NA fiction at this time.
