Currently only accepting submissions via conferences or pitch events but plans to open for a small window in early 2026. Adult Fiction: - Book Club - Cozy - Historical - Horror - Paranormal - Romantasy - Speculative - Supernatural - Western - Women's Fiction Preferences: - Grounded speculative fiction where characters must keep their abilities hidden as they strive to right wrongs and exist in a world where fear of the unknown and misunderstood is prevalent - Loves witches but not a big fan of vampires or werewolves - Historical fiction with dual timelines where events from the past impact the present - Stories with a romantic element where budding romances develop organically throughout - Cozy mystery series - Diverse characters and more main LGBTQ+ characters in settings where they exist without scrutiny and their sexuality isn't the main issue but simply a component of the story Children's Fiction: - Board Books - Chapter Books - Middle Grade - Picture Book - Young Adult Preferences: - Middle Grade: Books that put kids in the driver's seat and create lifelong readers - Young Adult: Books that speak to those who feel invisible and welcome tough topics. Not the right fit for dystopian novels where a teenage chosen one is tasked with saving the world - BB & PB: Punchy fast-paced kid-focused books with no heavy moral. Fun read-a-louds perfect for storytime. Not the right fit for new baby or new pet books but would love a story featuring a modern grandparent that challenges stigmas Not a good fit for: - Christian Fiction - Nonfiction - Memoir
