Lauren Is Closed To Unsolicited Queries

GIVE ME HIGH FANTASY ELLE WOODS PLEASE #mswl

One of the things I'm interested in doing A LOT MORE OF when I reopen to queries on 9/1/21 is ADULT fiction, specifically:

Adult Suspense
Adult RomCom
Adult SFF/H.

So if you're writing any of these, *please* query! #mswl

Ummm ditto. I want these things. #mswl

I adore Adult Fantasy like THE ROOK and HENCH. Funny, trope twisting, smart, and that shows the mundane side of something fantastic and the fantastic side of something mundane. I’d love to see more of it in my inbox. #mswl

If you have written a swashbuckling, rip roaring, madcap romp of a MG Fantasy, I want to read it. #mswl

I'm not able to participate in #PitDark but if you're querying:

Spooky MG
YA or Adult dark fantasy
YA or Adult suspense/thriller
YA or Adult horror

Consider this a request! #mswl

Writers! I am craving adult books. Send me your contemporary romance + romcoms, your suspense and thrillers, your horror + SFF, and your non-fic as long as it has a platform! I’m also very interested in reading genre bending books, so send those too! #mswl

4. LatinX representation in kidlit- all ages, all genres, though I am particularly interested in finding a YA contemp & a MG fantasy! A few favorites: @LauraTNamey, @Nina_Writes, @acevedowrites, @djolder, and @CeliaCPerez. (You should be reading *all* of them!)

1. Adult Horror: I want books that have something to SAY--about our present, our past, our future. Feminist/anti-colonialist stories are close to my heart, but I'm open to anything that can be described as "smart + terrifying." I'm also open to grounded fantasy w/ horror elements

Gimme. #mswl

Send it to me first!!! #mswl

I'd love to see more upmarket/literary fantasy in my inbox, a la TEN THOUSAND DOORS, UPROOTED, A DARKER SHADE. I'm particularly drawn to books that play with fairytales and folklore, but I'm looking for anything that draws me in w/ great characters and excellent writing. #mswl

Rounding up a few #mswl tweets that I will now think of as my official #QuarantineMSWL (1/?)

Hi I’m calling to report a crime and that crime is @stephlystein stealing my #mswl

I would really like to find a 30-40k MG Fantasy. Something short and sweet and magical. #mswl

#mswl ✨

I'm also hungry for unique historical fantasy in YA. I loved A TREASON OF THORNS by Laura Weymouth, AND I DARKEN by Kiersten White, and JACABY by William Ritter. #mswl

Please send me your contemporary fantasy (all ages!), especially if it has scary elements. Hauntings, body horror, dark magic, whatever! I wants it. #mswl

"Sci fi that tears me apart and Fantasy that puts me back together."

- #mswl for 2020, and also a line I am shamelessly stealing from @angelinearly

I would love to read a lighthearted fantasy. I still want conflict and stakes, but it would be nice to read something that is fun and upbeat! #mswl
