***I would especially love all of the stories from BIPOC and LGBT voices! Gimme, gimme, gimme!***
Middle Grade:
Contemporary – can deal with hard themes, but with added humor for the younger reader. I am especially looking for stories that cover marginalized voices, biracial storylines, and interracial friendships!
Fantasy: magical realism, paranormal, urban fantasy, but must mimic themes that young people deal with on a day-to-day
Horror – would love any kind
Graphic Novels
Non-fiction – can be historical or contemporary

Young Adult:
Romance – RomCom, fantasy, and/or LGBT. Give me all the love stories in whatever form they come.
Contemporary – especially, but doesn’t have to be friendship joy or struggles
Fantasy – in all forms except high fantasy – it MUST be grounded in reality
Mystery – would love a “Who-done-it.”

Adult:
Romance – from sweet to steamy, from M/F to LGBT, but no thank you to erotica or historical
Upmarket – psychological thrillers, mysteries, friendship stories, strong power bad-ass women stories, or make me laugh out loud stories
Literary – Beautiful prose with a strong cast of characters
Fantasy – in all forms except high fantasy – it MUST be grounded in reality
