Send A Query to Tricia Skinner at Fuse Literary

Thanks for including me on your agent search. Take a moment to fill in the requested information, and then submit your query. I represent adult, young adult and middle grade in these core categories: romance, science fiction, fantasy. All subgenres in my listed categories are encouraged. Inclusive stories provide an incredible sense of joy. I'd like to read more multicultural works. Writers who identify with a marginalized community are strongly encouraged to query.

** What catches my eye: **

High stakes, solid conflicts, mounting tension, endearing characters, engaging dialogue, and emotional depth on the page. Tone can be dark or light, but I prefer hopeful outcomes. Stories taken from a new perspective or experienced in a new way. Intriguing cultures, gripping adventures, life or death moments on the page. Knock me over with emotion. Give me characters who are more than the prophecy-of-the-month. Horror that terrifies because it's not impossible to imagine.

** DO NOT SEND:**
Faith-based/religious manuscripts, short story collections, screenplays, poetry, picture books, chapter books, erotica, novellas, or non-fiction. I will not consider previously published or self-published books.
