I’m less interested in urban fantasy in general, but I’m sure the manuscript will hit me someday that topples that preference. What other things do you look for in a manuscript? I’m interested in work from authors on the margins, no matter what they choose to write about.ģ.

Furthermore, while I’m often skeptical about privileged individuals writing across lines of privilege to claim the stories of those less-privileged, I don’t believe that a story from an Asian author needs to be an #ownvoices story to be valid or interesting. I’ve published wuxia-inspired epic fantasy, near-future cyberpunk, neo-noir, and everything in between.

While I’m only interested in speculative fiction, I acquire a broad range of fiction, spanning science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Although I no longer regularly acquire short stories or novelettes, you can read the short fiction I have acquired, or I can be found on Twitter Are there any specific Asian MS preferences you’re looking for (e.g., contemporary K-drama, Chinese martial arts fantasy, etc.) ? I edit both novels and novellas, including award-nominated fiction by Asian authors such as the Black Tides of Heaven by JY Yang, Runtime by SB Divya, and Hammers on Bone by Cassandra Khaw. I’m an editor for Tor.com Publishing, where I’ve been acquiring and editing speculative fiction since 2013. Is there any information about yourself that you think people might like to know (literary agent experience, hobbies, etc.)?
