She is also open to some middle grade as well.My first love will always be fantasy, and while I’m not averse to the odd swords-and-sorcery epic, my preference is for low fantasy and magical realism; stories that twist the real world 90 degrees and see what happens. I'm interested in the kinds of stories that get told in that space, stories that play with and subvert tropes, stories that focus heavily on relationship-building, stories that put familiar character archetypes into new and surprising worlds. I love genre-bending; tell me a story about vampires in space, or a neo-noir fairy tale, or a post-apocalyptic romcom. In the query, the main thing I’m looking for is your hook: whether it’s the premise, the world, a character, hopefully there’s something about your novel that made it fun for you to write and will make it intriguing for me to read. } margin-bottom: -1px; Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. } Nora primarily is interested in YA and adult fiction, as well as the stories that occupy the murky borderland in between.

I love genre-bending; tell me a story about vampires in space, or a neo-noir fairy tale, or a post-apocalyptic romcom. I'm also very open to YA along the lines of ELIZA AND HER MONSTERS, FANGIRL, and SHIP IT, that explores what it means to be a part of fandom.In miscellany, I'd love a well-plotted heist novel, anything that convincingly puts the reader inside the mind of someone with a mental illness, an unreliable narrator, or anything playing with meta or interactive story elements.Specific requests aside, though, I want what everyone wants: characters who represent the diversity of the world we live in, protagonists who feel true and provide an interesting lens through which to view the story, villains who feel just as true and vibrant and story-shaping, and little details building up to big ideas that I feel compelled to keep talking about long after I'm done reading.I was a philosophy major in college, so talk syllogisms to me.I (still) know the entire opening rap to Hamilton by heart.When I'm in hardcore editing mode I mainline Lapsang Souchong, which is objectively the best tea.Please send a query letter and the first ten pages of the manuscript copy-pasted into the body of the email to nlong (at) writershouse (dot) com. That said, I’ve worked with a couple of authors to adapt ideas they’d written as novel-length fic into original novels, and it’s hard work.

I think there's a grand underexplored space for twenty-something coming-of-age novels, and I'd love to see more stories that deliberately appeal to the readers who are too old for YA but still end up reading YA because it feels more engaging. 212-685-2400 Home … I love time travel. One of my recent favorite YA novels was IN OTHER LANDS, which I think benefited a lot from starting out as serialized online fiction. Don’t just find-replace the names in your fanfic and send it along; spend some time thinking about how to tell the story with entirely new characters, and without the benefit of an audience who comes in already knowing backstories and believing the main couple belongs together.
