Weaver Literary Agency

I represent adult, YA, and selective middle grade. In all age groups, my taste gravitates toward speculative fiction with subtle romance and lush prose. Horror, mystery, and romance elements are my soft spot.

Across the board, I'm looking for character-driven fantasy, romantasy, and romantic fantasy. Beautiful world-building, diverse characters, and stories steeped in folklore and culture are welcome. Stories with strong voices, gorgeous prose, and edgy hooks. Fantasy built around religion, especially Jewish fantasy, is fine, but please no religious texts.

Some of my favorite titles include THE SERPENT AND THE WINGS OF NIGHT, DIVINE RIVALS, SERPENT AND DOVE, HOUSE OF HUNGER, VESPERTINE, ONE DARK WINDOW, FOR THE WOLF, and SORCERY OF THORNS.

I'm also interested in cozy fantasy that can be compared to LEGENDS AND LATTES, THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR WITCHES, or ASSISTANT TO THE VILLIAN

For YA and Adult specifically, I'd love romance across categories. I'm particularly interested in speculative romance, romantic comedy, celebrity romance, and titles that can be compared to IF I STOPPED HAUNTING YOU, DO YOUR WORST, LOVE IN THE TIME OF SERIAL KILLERS, HOW TO FAKE IT IN HOLLYWOOD, and MORBIDLY YOURS.

For MG and YA specifically, I'd love to see more mysteries that can be compared to SCOOBY-DOO, NANCY DREW, and HARDY BOYS. I'd love to see children with swords and dragons, solving mysteries, and tight-knit friendship groups.
