I’m S. K. Harris, writing adult romantic archaeological fantasy – slow-burn love stories in deserts and ruins. Current project: Secrets of the Taklamakan – a Chinese archaeologist, a British researcher and a buried city where memory itself is the magic.

Got a form “not for us” from one of my dream agents today for my adult romantasy / archaeological adventure. It stung, but it also means I’m officially in the game — you don’t get rejections unless you’re submitting.
#AmQuerying#WritingCommunity#OnSubmission
Author status: submissions out.
Too anxious to write.
Too anxious not to write.
Solution so far: rearrange my desk, stare at the manuscript, eat biscuits.

Little mood board for my current WIP: an adult romantic archaeological fantasy set between Xi’an and the Taklamakan. Archaeologists, jade, data screens, desert nights, and a buried city that remembers everything done to it.

@juliaquinn01 Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say about my project. I’m always happy to learn about agents who represent romantic fantasy. If you’re comfortable sharing, could you let me know which agent and agency you have in mind so I can look them up and check their guidelines?

@HatcherLaney Adult romantic archaeological fantasy — so, romantasy centred on archaeologists, deserts and dangerous ruins. Current book is set between Xi’an and the Taklamakan, with a Chinese archaeologist, a British researcher, and a buried city where memory itself is the magic.
@HatcherLaney Thank you so much, that’s really kind of you! 💛
I’m keeping most of the pages off the main timeline for now, but I’d be happy to share a short snippet via DM if you’d like.
@bogwitchbooks Yes, this. Calling romantasy readers “not the sharpest tools in the shed” is just misogyny in a pink cover. People — especially women — are allowed joy, emotion, and fantasy and intelligence at the same time. 📔🫶
