Celsie is looking for unique voices, atmospheric stories that pull you under from the very first page, and worlds that feel as intimate as they are expansive. She is interested in themes that explore power, corruption, rebellion, class systems, climate change, liminal spaces, and intersectionality. In kidlit, she's seeking whimsical and heartfelt MG and high concept YA fiction. On the adult side, she seeks genre-bending SFF, horror, and book club/upmarket fiction.

Monica gravitates toward stories about identity, family relationships, and travel. She is looking to uplift underrepresented voices, including, (but not limited to) authors who identify as People of Color (BIPOC), disabled, neurodiverse, and LGBTQ+. In children’s literature, she is currently looking for MG, YA, & Graphic Novels. She also represents illustrators and comic artists. On the adult side, she's seeking contemporary romance, horror, speculative sci-fi, and book club fiction. She is also open to non-fiction submissions.
In kid lit... voicey identity-driven middle grade, romance with cultural significance, adventure fantasy with knights, coming of age in international settings In illustration... art that emphasizes line elements, pastel/bright color schemes, pixar-like character expressions, sketchy with a colored pencil feel In graphic novels... cinematic panel sequences, buddy adventure fantasy, dreamy solar punk sci-fi coming of age through language, speculative cultural narratives, stories where places feel like a character
