📚 YA: I'm focusing more on genre fiction — namely fantasy and horror with an emphasis on works by authors from marginalized communities. I still have a soft spot for reimaginings (like...Count of Monte Cristo. Or if someone were to update Christopher Pike's The Midnight Club...)

📚 MG: Three things I'll probably always be looking for:
1. Adventure novel with a humorous voice
2. creepy and lyrical horror a la coraline.
3. queer first crush (if it makes you think of the short 'in a heartbeat' I want to see it.)

It's only been forever and a day but I finally updated my #MSWL profile! Now including select genres of narrative non-fiction — and basically send me all your queer fiction or creepy, lyrical middle grade books! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/moe-…

And now the time-honored tradition of marathoning #TwilightZone on Syfy… and the yearly reminder that god how I want a YA horror a la twilight zone. #MSWL

Talking with @jamerrson today reminds me how much I want a YA horror novel based on H.H. Holmes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._H._Hol… #MSWL

Definitely would still love to see this. Creepy horror circus/carnival in YA. #MSWL

I love a great, creepy horror. *especially* a great psychological mind-fuck. But oh god NO CLOWNS. #MSWL aaaaaaand #AntiMSWL

So @Circus1903 that's currently on @AGT? Give me that as a creepy-ass YA horror plz. #MSWL

Um. So. This is an amazingly creepy YA horror begging to be written and I want it. #MSWL

You know I'm still looking for that creepy and lyrical MG horror. Yes, I'm picky but I know it's out there! (So make my day here guys) #MSWL

#YA #MSWL: Horror (a la Christopher Pike, psychological—no jump scares) SciFi/Fantasy (Character driven + lyrical voice) Contemporary (any!)

#MG #MSWL: Horror (a la Goosebumps/Coraline), Fantasy (lyrical voice & atmospheric worldbuilding), Contemporary (esp with LGBTQ issues)

The big thing with horror for me: No jump scares or excessive gore. I want psychological mindfucks. Creepy, read with the lights on. #MSWL

I'm still looking for that amazing creepy and atmospheric MG along the lines of Coraline or Goosebumps. #MSWL

In honor of #Halloween I thought I'd post some of my spooky/horror themed wants on my #MSWL!

I'm absolutely finding that YA horror is at the top of my #MSWL right now. Also MG Horror. Give me Christopher Pike! #BookEndsChat

#MSWL: Somehow YA horror has crept high onto my want list. Looking more psychological (a la ASYLUM) over hack/slash/jump scares.

Lastly, who here remembers Christopher Pike? Along with something like ASYLUM, I want to find his brand of horror/thriller in YA. #MSWL

Look -- we all have our wishlist posted! #MSWL. Stay tuned for a few things from me on Twitter later today!!
