In Horror:
⚰️ Indigenous horror, unexplored folklore of all countries and people
⛴️ Closed-set horror, like a cruise ship, a locked mall, a flooded island
👹 Tightly interwoven choice and plot; characters that drive the plot; rejecting puritanical moral codes
🌽 Ethel Cain & Hozier music

In Romance:
💘 I want, most of all, to fall in love. Make me swoon like a Victorian maiden. 100/10 on the swoon scale.
🌸 Historical romance that explores secret societies, unspoken relationships
🗝️ Romance always has to have another genre for me, be that fantasy, horror, or mystery (or all three!)

Keeping in the theme, I'd love a horror (YA or Adult) like YELLOWJACKETS that's as much about the speculative element as the interpersonal tension

🎟️ Speculative futures not set in American cities
💀 Horror you want to hide from while you keep reading, things that make you say “gross”

New year, new #MSWL!I represent BIPOC, Queer, and marginalized creators writing commercial genre fiction across MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel. My particular weaknesses are genre-blending SFF, horror, and anything with murder or making out (ideally both)
2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:
