Currently Looking For
As of the week of August 31st, 2026: I am getting through remaining submissions sent to me through Query Tracker. If you submitted your work to me from June 5th to June 19th, you will hear from me in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your patience! My name is Kaylyn Aldridge, and I’m a junior agent at Metamorphosis Literary Agency. Thanks for checking out my MSWL. I am currently acquiring commercial and upmarket horror, romance, and contemporary fiction for New Adult and Adult readers! HORROR: I am seeking women/femme-centered horror only. I’m always drawn to social commentary told through a horrific lens. A body horror that comments on the difficulties of finding a job after university? Psychological horror about navigating the dating scene as a queer person? A meta horror following a Black woman who falls asleep watching a horror film and is now stuck in a dream world and the only way out is to defeat the killer? Woah, you got me. I’m also a big fan of horror seeped in wry humor. CATCHES MY EYE: SHY AWAY FROM: ROMANCE: All romance submitted to me must have suspense/thriller elements, gothic elements, or dark themes (but not necessarily dark romance). I’m a major fan of paranormal romance and unconventional love interests. If it’s a vampire, robot, Frankenstein, zombie, imaginary friend come-to-life, etc., then I’m all for it. Slow burns are for me. I’m big on angst and tension. I can get down with an insta-love situation only if there’s a strong foundation under it. Spice is always welcome. CATCHES MY EYE: SHY AWAY FROM: CONTEMPORARY: I am only looking for high-concept contemporary fiction that has something to say, but it doesn’t need to be heavy-handed. Give me commentary on identity, social media, loneliness. I’m all for it. If you really want me to sit up, give me a critique/satirization of femininity and/or masculinity. I’d love to see an exploration of sex, repression, and taboos as well. I love stories that highlight the quiet nuances of life (a la Sally Rooney). I can follow a quiet plot if the characters are totally relatable from the way they say something simply because they feel socially pressured to, to the way they think about something funny while in the middle of comforting someone. I want raw realness from characters. Exploration of underrepresented communities is a major plus for me. A look into and underground BDSM community? Complications of being in the furry community? Incel and femcel exploration told through the lens of a spiraling friend? Send it over. CATCHES MY EYE: SPECIAL INTERESTS ACROSS GENRES LISTED: HARD PASSES: A Note on AI-Generated Works: Stop sending them. AI-generated writing is very obvious, and it’s always annoying to see. It will be automatically rejected . It’s a waste of both of our time. Fun facts about me: I met Joel Greene from Curiosity Quest when I was 11. Really cool guy. 10/10 experience.
