As always, I'm still open to other genres and love it when things surprise me. If you have something that resonates on this menu that is #query ready and you'd like to send my way, I can't wait to unlock some new fears. #amagenting #mswl

💀 Atmospheric gothic horror with a cultural connection
💀 If it could be an A24 movie, I want to read it
💀 I like my horror with a side of societal commentary
💀 Confronting fear that develops our main character
💀 I like slow-burn surprise horror as much as an action-packed page-turner

2025 is here and I'm so excited to see what this year has in store for my #mswl ✨

I'm actively continuing to grow my adult and #kidlit lists this year and I'm also looking to expand into #nonfiction . Here's what I'm on the lookout for in these categories 🧵⬇️

Born on mountain time, The Witches of El Paso really resonated with me. It’s got an atmospheric gothic vibe in a city filled with community and family drama. I always love it when the setting comes to life in a nostalgic way and want to see more of this kind of work in my query inbox ✨ #mswl

For #graphicnovels & #comics , i’m looking for:
📷layers & depth of field
🪟thinking outside the panel
🌊watercolor feels
〰️ lovely line elements
🍱 studio ghibli vibes
🎨Monochromatic palettes
😎bad ass heroines …or villains
🧚‍♀️ whispy whimsical worlds
❤️ diverse characters

In #kidlitart , i’m looking for:
🖌️ classic/traditional style
🌊watercolor vibes
✏️colored pencil experts
💡Anything that plays with light
🌲scenic landscapes
🤪 pixar-like facial expressions
🐋sea creatures
🧚‍♀️ whispy whimsical worlds
❤️ diverse characters

I‘m on hold and the music is like a bossa nova vibe I would dance to in an elevator…waiting for some jaw-dropping illustrator portfolios to hit my inbox 🎨
