Haley Casey is a Creative Media Agency agent who gravitates toward propulsive, emotionally charged genre fiction with a distinctly CW-drama sensibility — think paranormal action, intense relationship dynamics, and layered mystery.
In brief
Haley Casey's submission form was confirmed closed as of April 30, 2026 — verify before querying, as this status can change without notice.
Their public wishlist signals a clear affinity for CW-style storytelling: supernatural action, slow-burn or charged romantic pairings, and twisty small-town or ensemble mysteries.
The available record does not include a detailed sales list, so their track record by category cannot be independently verified — writers should research recent deals through industry sources before querying.
Casey's taste skews commercial and plot-driven; purely literary or quiet domestic fiction is unlikely to be a fit based on their stated preferences.
Their February 2026 public post is unusually specific about tone and aesthetic — writers who can name how their manuscript channels that CW energy in their query letter will stand out.
Lately
For those keeping track, since reopening to queries exactly 24 hours ago, I've received 125... #amagenting #ampublishing
It's #MSWL Day, which means that it's the perfect day to remind querying writers that if your story reads like a show that would air on the CW, I might be the agent for you! The paranormal action and dramatic brotherhood SPN? The Klaus/Caroline relationship of TVD? The insane mystery of RIVERDALE?
High, high, HIGH on my 2026 wish list is YA SFF, a cast of characters with distinct personalities, mayhem, pirates, humor, and protagonists with hearts of gold who are also a little too clever for their own good. You know what I'm seeking? TREASURE PLANET. Please send me anything that comps! #MSWL
Casey posted a public note emphasizing that writers whose stories carry a CW-drama energy should consider them as an agent — specifically citing the paranormal action and brotherhood themes of Supernatural, the intense and complex romantic dynamic of Klaus and Caroline from The Vampire Diaries, and the escalating, twisty mystery of Riverdale as the kinds of storytelling vibes they are drawn to.
What Haley is looking for
Casey actively courts stories with that signature supernatural-action energy: found-family dynamics, brotherhood-style bonds, and high emotional stakes wrapped around a paranormal premise. The vibe they describe is kinetic and dramatic rather than slow or atmospheric.
Charged, complex romantic pairings — particularly the kind with history, tension, and a will-they-won't-they edge — are clearly on their radar. The emphasis is on relationships that carry genuine dramatic weight, not light or low-conflict fare.
Layered mysteries with an almost absurdist or maximalist quality — secrets upon secrets, a heightened small-town or community backdrop, plots that escalate in unexpected directions — fit the aesthetic Casey has publicly described.

How to query Haley
Confirm the form has reopened before submitting — it was closed as of April 30, 2026, and submitting to a closed form wastes your effort.
The single richest thing you can do in your query letter is name the CW-drama energy of your manuscript explicitly. Casey's own framing invites this comparison — if your book has that Supernatural brotherhood, TVD romantic tension, or Riverdale mystery escalation, say so directly.
Lead with stakes and tone. Casey's stated taste is propulsive and emotionally dramatic; a query that buries the paranormal or romantic hook in backstory will lose them quickly.
If your book features an ensemble cast, a central pairing with history and tension, or a small-town mystery with increasingly wild revelations, highlight that structure early in your pitch.
Avoid positioning your manuscript as 'quiet' or 'character-driven without plot' — Casey's aesthetic is explicitly high-drama and plot-forward.
