Query Manager is live again!
Good time as any that I am looking for YA and Adult fiction, with an emphasis on Contemporary, Romance (but not necessarily rom-coms), and Horror! #mswl I want funny, sharp, and dark wit the most :)
A thread of recent faves in next tweet!

Happy Friday!Want to let #amquerying folks know that my current #mswl is exclusively (hyperbole!) sapphic, dark, comedic horror feat. BIPOC casts!
I’m a fan of Scream, Fear Street 1994, Urban Legend (2001), The Descent
I’m that goofy bitch from the block w/as big mouth!!!
Needed more words 😅:
Looking for this in YA and Adult!
If you don’t have horror, my next wish is contemporary women’s fiction featuring a main character or ensemble cast in the mid-20 - mid-30s. I’m not married and don’t want kids; I have hangovers and lesbian drama 🥳 #mswl

I LOVE horror, but please let’s get us out of the suburban house and into a new fucking location. Please, I’m begging. #mswl

Literary Agent
Writers, I am begging, please give me an Adult horror novel reminiscent of #Archive81. The way the show understands that some of the greatest horror comes from our need to have answers from/about the people we love - and the way we’d burn our own flesh for resolution. #mswl

Literary Agent
Would probably die for an Adult Horror/Psychological Thriller in the vein of Showtime’s YELLOWJACKETS which is literally all I can fucking think about.
I need more Misty and Taissa in my life. #MSWL

Literary Agent
First #MSWL tweet of 2022:
Would immediately devour: YA horror like RULES FOR VANISHING and Adult Horror like NOTHING BUT BLACKENED TEETH.
Would fangirl for: YA contemporary or thriller teen ensemble girl/queer squad reminiscent of JAWBREAKER
DYING for: fun, modern voices

Literary Agent
If I sign a horror this year, I swear to God I will stop being a dirty, thirsty lesbian on this goddamn site. PLEASE. #mswl

Kiki Says New Adult is Deader Than Dead @kianangu
For the rest of 2020, I’m mainly focused on acquiring more adult projects to my list. Particularly Horror, Domestic Suspense thrillers (not FBI/CIA/govt agency), and Women’s Fiction focused on QPOC in their 20s/30s (no divorcées).I want like...Broad City but more grit and queer and QPOC!!! #mswl

Literary Agent
James McGowan @jmcgowanbks
If you’re writing anything like THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR or HILL HOUSE (or any other adult horror) please keep me in mind! #MSWLAnd then query me so we agent peers have some friendly competition! #mswl

Literary Agent
I just really want some cerebral, fucked up horror shit that really takes characters through the ringer with confronting who they are when faced with fuckshit. Specifically searching for this in the Adult space, but YA too! #mswl

Literary Agent
literally send me the YA featuring broke ass qpoc punks. send me Adult horror & romance featuring them, too. Damn. #mswl

Literary Agent
🧼 Lauren Spieller 🖐 @laurenspieller
I’d love to see more non-white thriller and suspense writers in my inbox! #mswlPiggybacking - I want this (no CIA/FBI/investigative thrillers) with QPOC outside of suburbia, please and thank you! Also applies to horror!! #mswl

Literary Agent
I just want a book like Netflix’s Marianne but actually queer. #MSWL I really only want to read horror with queer characters that’s fresh right now.

Literary Agent
Y’all know I love Horror. Do y’all know that the first movie I ever saw was Child’s Play? That I grew up on that series, and Nightmare on Elm St, and Friday The 13th?
I like my horror with comedy, scares, and a largely teen cast. W/genre bends like The Final Girls (2015) #mswl
