What I do love to see in the YA Contemporary field are thrillers, hauntings that can toe the line of horror without going overboard, rom-coms, friendship break ups, and grandparent relationships. I especially love to see all this with BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ characters. #mswl

YES. Whereβs those horror manuscripts at?! Not the slasher/gruesome ones though... Think more Bird Box, A Quiet Place, Paranormal Activity, etc... #mswl

YA Horror ghost stories are life. If it doesnβt make your skin crawl while writing it, I donβt want it. #MSWL #paranormalactivity
