Would love to see more psychological horror in my query inbox—especially anything with a remote location (“abandoned” anything is a major selling point for me!), a haunted house (house as character!), and/or a final girl. #MSWL

Pop psychology & fun self-help projects, especially from a qualified position (therapist, psychologist, life coach, etc). I love books that can provide tangible ways to improve yourself, while also being considered a fun read. #MSWL

If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight. #MSWL

Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book—you name it, I'm here for it. Spook me! #MSWL

Calling all writers specializing in laughter and love! I’m actively seeking submissions for adult romcoms with elements of social media. My sweet spot is big on the com, light/medium on the rom. #MSWL

Very interested in books on sobriety—from mocktail books to explorations of alcohol-free culture to how-to guides for early sobriety. #MSWL

Cozy mysteries for younger audiences—I would love to see millennial protagonists, stories with drag queens, boozy brunches, bachelorette parties, all the things! #MSWL

Psychological thrillers with new twists on classic tropes: unstable (or unhinged) narrators, missing memories or time, seemingly decent people with dark pasts, stalking, gaslighting in any form. #MSWL

Select horror—I’m more interested in psychological elements, but I don’t mind a bit of gore. Anything disturbing or unnerving is up my alley. Novels + collections welcome! #MSWL

Noticing a lot of YA in my query inbox lately, so sending out a quick reminder that I'm only looking for adult projects at the moment. Take a look at the other amazing @PSLiterary agents who DO represent young adult novels, and consider querying one of them instead! #MSWL
