If this photo describes your novel, I would LOVE to see it when I reopen next month! 🥰 #MSWL

While sick, I’ve been binge watching to kick off autumn. If you’ve got a slow-building horror / thriller / mystery with characters you care about like in SIGNS, I want it. Or a book centered on sisterhood, breaking curses, and cozy witchcraft like in PRACTICAL MAGIC, gimme #MSWL

MG Horror is my most favorite type of horror. Got vibes similiar to OVER THE GARDEN WALL? Yes please! Or if you can comp to any of these titles, please query me: HIDE AND SEEKER by Daka Hermon, THIS APPEARING HOUSE by Ally Malinenko, THE HOUSE THAT WHISPERS by Lin Thompson #MSWL

I love and devour everything by Simone St. James (aka crime / thrillers with a paranormal twist), so if you can comp to her even slightly, SOLD. I adore a good haunted house story with terrifying, angry ghosts. Loved MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia recently. #MSWL

Flowing into September, here's what I would LOVE to see in my inbox: HORROR!!!! It's spooky time folks, and horror is probably my favorite genre. Let's see if we can tick that genre way up, especially from POC & queer writers. Ghosts are my absolute favorite. #MSWL

Since I'm a new agent and love reading literally anything and everything, if you think we'd be a good fit, please query me! There's so many books I loved that surprised me, so take a shot. 🥰For more detailed #MSWL , check out my website: careyblankenshipkramer.com/agenting.html

Some more fun, specific #MSWL :
🗻Stories in fun / nature filled settings, especially if they're a secondary character
☕️ Characters who are chefs / baristas / bakers
🥵I'm a southern, so give me southern stories
🦄Multimedia storytelling? YES!!
🐶 Any story with dogs / animals

I'm looking for ALL genres across ALL age groups, though nonfiction isn't my thing. I'm extra hungry for MG, YA, & picture books! Let's go kidlit! I'm really honored whenever anyone queries me, so I appreciate you letting me consider your stories you've worked so hard on. #MSWL

Fantasy is also a close second favorite of mine. I love escaping to new worlds, ESPECIALLY if magical creatures are involved.🐉 We all know fantasy is satured in the market right now, so if you have something unique and magical, I'd love to see it! Especially if it's cozy 🤗#MSWL

Horror is probably my all-time favorite genre. I love anything and everything spooky, especially for MG audiences. With Halloween right around the corner, I'd love to see my inbox filled with scary stories.👻If you have a horror with a video game theme, GIMME. #MSWL

ABOVE ALL, I am looking for #ownvoices stories and books from POC / marginalized creators. We need more diverse stories. Period. I will do anything and everything I can to make sure more people, especially children, are represented in published books. #MSWL

Hi #amquerying writers! I'm super excited to let everyone know I'm now open with my own QM page! 🥰 PINCH ME, I'm dreaming!! To celebrate, here's a #MSWL thread! (FYI, if I have your full from Sharon's inbox, I am still considering and will get back ASAP) querymanager.com/query/3066

Swifties...please query me. I love Blondie. We could talk for hours and hours about her lyricism. If you have a novel that is an ounce inspired by Taylor Swift or any of her songs, I want it. #MSWL
