Query box update!

I have gone through ALL subs. I currently have 9 fulls and 19 in my Maybe box, waiting for possible request once my fulls are minimized. If you haven't heard from me, you're still of interest!

Ahhhh, I am so excited to welcome @annglimmer.bsky.social to the Belcastro team! Her romantasy building off Scandinavian folklore is filled with messy emotions, warring clans, and the unique twist of True Hate's Kiss *swoon*

Yes, so it only does that if it's specific genres/age categories. I dont have it active on graphic novels. I'm not currently looking for GN right now, so that's probly why you might not see it to select on my drop-down list

It should only allow that for certain genres. I'll look into it and fix it!

Just prose! GN are their own category

I would LOVE genre blends in horror - romance, sci Fi, speculative, supernatural, literary

No true Romance at the moment or straight Sci Fi. Not currently asking for more GN unless it is from an author/illustrator or an author who already has an illustrator attached

I am so late in posting this, but I couldn't be more thrilled for my illustrator Alyssa Hutchings for her newest work!

This partnership with Michelle Lin and Marble Press is ADORABLE and I can't wait to see it out in the world.

A green background of rainy plant stuff. in the bottom left corner, there is a chibi drawing of a girl with blonde hair, pigtails, and glasses. She is laughing like the crying laughing emoji. in the bottom right corner, there is a chibi drawing of a girl wrapped up in a blue blanket and holding a mug. she has curly brown hair and is making the :3 emoji face. There are wolf ears and a wolf tail coming out of the blanket. There's a wobbly lightly transparent rectangle in the middle of the page with text that reads "I'm delighted to announced that I'm finally agented! My cozy spooky MG fantasy SOPHIE'S GUIDE TO WEREWOLES AND PANCAKES is now repped by the extremely talented Kaitlyn Katsoupis at Belcastro Agency."
