@justanotherusername I think there is general confusion about what Marie is accepting at the moment. Marie's MSWL does say exactly what you've written, but her profile on the De Chiara website states "I enjoy fantasy and speculative elements, and I’m on the hunt for unique and funny romantasy." So, I think it would be good to know what was updated most recently - the MSWL or the Agency web page.

@Patrick - I think this is a Catch-22 sort of situation. :) Her QT list has literally every genre in the world (both fiction and not), so I suspect she selected all by mistake. Her MSWL was quite explicit...

@justanotherusername, she lists both sci-fi and fantasy on her query form.

@Patrick - the genres on this page are wrong. From the agent's MSWL page: "I’m NOT interested in genre science fiction or high fantasy"

*not sure if it helps at all, but I went with what her website says! ("on the hunt for unique and funny romantasy")
