Press Release for Elegant Manifestations for the Beautiful and the Lost by Khan Wong

Jendia Gammon and Gareth L. Powell of Stars and Sabers Publishing have acquired a cozy urban fantasy mystery novella, Elegant Manifestations for the Beautiful and the Lost, by author Khan Wong (The Circus Infinite and Down in the Sea of Angels, Angry Robot), pitched as The Accidental Alchemist meets New Girl, in which an upscale spellcaster must draw on all her charms-both personal and magical-to solve the disappearance of her top client and angel investor in order to clear her name and save the boutique magical practice she’d give her soul to protect. Publication is slated for January 2027. Ernie Chiara at Fuse Literary brokered the deal for world English rights.

We are thrilled to work again with Khan Wong, who has contributed short stories to our anthologies, the cross-genre Of Shadows, Stars, and Sabers, as well as the magic-themed Of Enchantment, Enigma, and the Infinite. This novella is, in fact, built from Khan’s short story universe in the latter anthology.

We look forward to publishing Elegant Manifestations for the Beautiful and the Lost in January 2027, as we expand our single-author acquisitions at Stars and Sabers Publishing.
