#MSWL PLEASE send more sci-fi, fantasy, romance, and horror with "older" protagonists. If those bad asses are over 40, have "scars" earned through life experience, and still manage to "make it look easy," then I want your query. More info at www.triciaskinner.com/manuscript-w...
#MSWL Sci-fi, fantasy, romance, and horror by LGBTQ authors. More info at www.triciaskinner.com/manuscript-w...
Hi, Kenneth. I define bromance as a deep, platonic friendship between two (or more) men. It's "I've got you, bro" with deep emotional understanding, care, and support.
#MSWL Adult science fiction, fantasy, romance, and horror by BIPOC authors. More info at www.triciaskinner.com/manuscript-w...
#MSWL Adult-only paranormal & urban fantasy with or without romance, please. Slow burn with heart-pounding tension is a major plus! Or brotherhood/sisterhood-type group who would destroy the world if you hurt one of them. Love found families, too. More at www.triciaskinner.com/manuscript-w...
#MSWL I reopened to queries on Jan 15. Signed 2 new clients so far! I ONLY represent ADULT novels and ADULT graphic novels in these core categories: romance, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. More info at www.triciaskinner.com/manuscript-w...
