Beautifully written or Upmarket Adult fantasy/SF/horror that would appeal to a book club audience. Think MEXICAN GOTHIC, STATION ELEVEN, or THE STARLESS SEA. #mswl

If you’ve written a romance with a TOUCH of magic…or horror…or a thriller element…I want to read it. Gimme your genre benders! #mswl

Um yes. Me too. #mswl

Can't do #pitdark today but I *WANT* you to query me with:

--spooky MG
--dark academia in YA/Adult
--grounded, scary YA Fantasy
--thrillers/suspense in YA/Adult
--Adult Horror

I am especially keen to find these written by BIPOC! We need more of those voices on shelves! #mswl

I’m opening to queries in 3 hours (technically).

I have a full wishlist (see pinned tweet), but here’s one thing I’d LOVE to see:

Upmarket Adult Horror. #mswl

I love grounded, upmarket genre fiction. The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, The Rook, The Warehouse, Hench, Mexican Gothic, Station Eleven. When I reopen to queries on Sept 1, please send me books like this.

#mswl #sff #horror

Horror #mswl

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

Spooky MG

YA or Adult suspense/thriller
YA or Adult horror

Consider this a request! #mswl

Ditto tho #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

Thinking about how great THE MONSTRUMOLOGIST is, and how I want MG horror that takes kids as seriously as that book does. #mswl

Hi. #mswl

I’m really looking forward to #KidLitGN! I’ll be looking for MG + YA graphic novels from authors and author/illustrators. I love realism and magic and science and horror—I love it all! I’m also particularly keen to find projects from diverse creators! #mswl

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

Send me your LatinX horror, you cowards!

(But not until September 15. Also sorry for calling you a coward.) #mswl

Who is going to do this for me #mswl

I can't find a tweet for it, but I also really want more dark, twisted suspense/thrillers a la Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware, Wendy Heard, and Lauren Beukes. If it crosses over into horror, that's great too! #QuarantineMSWL (7/?)

A few misc #MSWL items

-MG that's spooky and lovely
-YA LatinX RomCom
-Adult thriller with a BIG hook
-Adult space horror
