Maybe it's just October, but my #MSWL is gothic horror comics.
I want Emily Carroll/ Crimson Peak vibes. I'm talking those very intentionally limited color palettes blended with the psychological horror that keeps me up for days. And candelabras.

And, if you know anything about me, you know queer romance is my jam. I want those first queer crushes, falling in love with your best friend (or your frenemy). I'm looking for queer joy here.
Literary Agent
I am ALWAYS in the mood for spooky. If you have spooky stories, send them my way! I love cute mysteries (and dark mysteries) especially!
Literary Agent
On the totally other end of the spectrum, I want YA and especially MG contemporary graphic novels! I want heartbreaking friendships and first crushes and discovering yourself and coming into your own.
Literary Agent
I want werewolves (same vibe as above). I also want very atmospheric settings. Like manor houses in the country, but it could be contemporary or historical.

Here's an #MSWL for you (a thread)
I want a super self indulgent vampire romance. Take me back to the early 2000s. Very Queen of the Damned/Underworld movie vibes. Either prose of graphic novel. I want action and mystery and maybe conspiracy too.
Literary Agent
Only 3 more weeks until I open to queries at @BrittSiessCM on Nov 1st! I'm really looking forward to seeing some fantastic graphic novel queries. I'm particularly on the lookout for standout contemporary stories! #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'm especially looking for MG Horror submissions (Bonus Points if it's a graphic novel!) #MSWL #kidlit #graphicnovels
Literary Agent
I have been getting a ton of dynamite YA submissions lately. Something I would love to see more of are YA horror submissions! Send me dark, thrilling, twisty YA horror with a hook! #mswl
Literary Agent
Just finished The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden. It was beyond wonderful! Where are all of my fairytale/legend retellings? I want Eastern European and East Asian myths and legends sooo bad! #MSWL

I'm intrigued by the e-sports world now that I have two close friends who work in it. I'd love to see any YA or kids books, fiction or nonfiction, related to e-sports in my query inbox. Deep knowledge of e-sports phenomenon required #mswlA book featuring e-sports would be so cool! Iād also love a MG book about table top games for my fellow D&D or Magic fans! #mswl
