Cottagecore, but make it horror #MSWL

It's #MSWL Day! Find mine here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/carl… In short, I like books with black covers, and I like books with pink covers. I rep #YA, #MG, mystery, suspense, horror, thriller, pop fiction & contemporary romance.

I read and loved COUNTERFEIT by @kirsten_chen and it's inspiring me to sign some white-collar crime novels starring women. Who's got one? #MSWL

I know I'm super late to this party but I can't stop thinking about this tweet and how I'd love to see a MG novel that tackles the idea. #MSWL

I keep thinking about this article on TikTok and mental health. There's got to be YA novel in this, or maybe a retelling of The Crucible. #MSWL

My new TV obsession is Animal Kingdom, so I want books with criminal, or at least morally gray, families. The family that steals and slays together... #mswl

I just finished THE BOYS' CLUB by Erica Katz and it's a great example of the kind of workplace fiction I'm looking for: women focused, looks at how work changes us, lots of OMG moments #MSWL

Anything about confronting fears and phobias #MSWL

Vampires, ghosts, zombies, evil cheerleaders, yay! Also creepy amusement parks, graveyards, half-abandoned shopping malls, and weird circuses. #MSWL

Friday nights as a tween, I stayed up late to watch Friday the 13th: The Series. (Saturdays, it was Headbangers Ball and Tales from the Crypt.) Cursed objects bringing the drama! #MSWL

If your book is a great read for those who loved The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, send it over. I’m always up for witch stories. #MSWL

My favorite movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas. I don’t mind a haunted town where weird is normal if the story grabs me. #MSWL

I generally prefer my horror to be set in our world or something that resembles it, either past or present (think AHS: Murder House). Haunted places are a go as long as the world around them is real. But… #MSWL

I’d love to take on more #MG and #YA horror, so here are some details on that: #MSWL #amquerying #amwriting

Workplace stories, either drama or comedy (ex: WHISPER NETWORK; THE ASSISTANTS) #MSWL

All of this comes with an important message: Sometimes I don’t know what I want until I see it. If a book makes me feel something, I’m willing to overlook my own rules. (They’re really more like guidelines anyway.) #MSWL

I like witches, vampires, and some fairies. I am not the right agent for talking animals, dragons, or anything with a portal #MSWL

Anything about ordinary people in extraordinary situations #MSWL

Books about lawyers and/or people who work in law enforcement #MSWL

Angry girls and women #MSWL
