Congrats @amycarolreeves.bsky.social on a fantastic review! “Reeves makes both leads flawed, thorny, and fascinating and studs their romance with comedic moments and emotional revelations. Readers who like their rom-coms with a side of snark and angst will eat this up.” @publisherswkly.bsky.social

Celsie is open to queries! 🥳 See what she's looking for...👀 #mswl "I'm 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." @celsie-moseley.bsky.social Submission guidelines: buff.ly/OgAvhBX

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.

In fantasy...
cozy/light to epic in scope, richly imagined worlds, fully developed magic systems, and complex character dynamics.

In sci-fi...
grounded, space opera, futurism (solarpunk, afrofuturism, arabfuturism, etc.), sci-fi horror with elements of the New Weird or horror that embodies the cosmic strangeness of space.

In book club/upmarket...
anything that fuses genres to elevate broader narrative themes and turn tropes on their heads, sophisticated, socially conscious thrillers/suspense, literary fiction, historical fiction, and speculative fiction.

In young adult...
high concepts and strong voices with a compelling emotional core in fantasy (either contemporary fantasy or secondary world), grounded sci-fi, mystery/thriller, and horror.

In middle grade...
anything from fantasy to realistic contemporary where there’s a perfect blend of whimsy, adventure, and heartfelt moments.

If that sounds like your manuscript, please send a short description and short bio (your query) + 5-10 pages of text pasted into the body of the email to querycelsie[at]contextlit.com (no attachments).
