Caroline J. Trussell

As I open up to queries on November 13 until the end of the month, here are some things I’m looking for:
• psychological thrillers
• romcoms, romantasy, enemies to lovers,
• contemporary MG
• horror (psych, haunted houses)

#MSWL

As far as continued #MSWL , I’d love to see:
• anything with Studio Ghibli vibes in the MG vein
• new adult fantasy with witchy vibes similar to The Craft
• Horror (paranormal, psychological)

🧵 Just your friendly reminder that I’m closing to queries at the end of this month until November.

Something I didn’t know I wanted on my #mswl
• fairy tale or classic retellings/reimaginings
• modern stories about characters from fairy tales/classics and themes from said stories

EXCITING NEWS✨

I’ve decided to open back up to queries this month instead of waiting until September

I would love to see some fresh takes on Hades #MSWL

Given the fact that I’m reopening to queries in 5 days I’ll share some of my current #MSWL

🧚🏻Adult fantasy (low fantasy ie magical realism, urban fantasy)
💖Adult romance (in any subgrenre; specifically bisexual, pan, demi, ace MCs)
🎢 thrillers (especially psychological)

I can’t sleep so I’m posting my updated #mswl as I’ll be reopening to queries March 1st. Please note I’m no longer looking for YA in any genres/sub genres. Query me at: QueryManager.com/carolinejtruss…

I would LOVE to see chronic illness rep in any genre or age group and especially if it’s an autoimmune disease or gastrointestinal but I’m biased I guess #MSWL

When I reopen to queries in March, I’d like to see more adult romance & I want to see more bi, pan, and demi MCs too 🌈✨ #mswl

I would really like to see stories with complicated family dynamics where blood is not necessarily thicker than water #MSWL

I would love more MG fantasy in my inbox #MSWL 😊 also romance (adult not YA)

Bob’s Burgers is such a comfort show for me. I’d love to see more sibling dynamics like Louise, Gene & Tina’s and more MG characters with Louise’s fearlessness, humour, and sarcasm #MSWL

Give me SKINS, DEGRASSI, DERRY GIRLS, ONE TREE HILL, MY MAD FAT DIARY #MSWL

Anything comparable to WEDNESDAY, SCREAM, or FEAR STREET #MSWL

I’d like to see more YA horror in my submissions 😊 #MSWL

Other things I’d like to see
- YA stories set in boarding schools
- stories set in the Fall in where season is a character almost
- stories set in Northeastern small, Gothic towns
- stories about secret cults or societies

#MSWL

Something similar to the NATIONAL TREASURE, THE MUMMY, or INDIANA JONES movies #MSWL could be a twist in any age group
