In my pursuit of a graphic novel for a reluctant middle grade reader I realized that there is a shortage of MG horror graphic novels that are RECENT, so with that in mind when I reopen to queries I want that - preferably with an illustrator already attached. Okay, bye! #MSWL

I am once again here to say if anyone is writing about the alleged cannibals in the Smoky Mountains National Park- I would like to see it, and so would an editor I spoke to…just in case you were wondering about my #MSWL when I reopen.👀

Greek mythology/Retellings! Especially if they’re female protagonist centered and written for MG- kids are asking for that, I want to bring it to them!

I would LOVE to see graphic novels in my inbox! I am really looking for Over the Garden Wall, Hilda, Star Vs The Forces of Evil. If you think Netflix or Disney would eat it up? Send it my way!

I am LOVING spooky- tis the season. I would love a murderous bunch of teenagers, or a whodunit in the vein of 13 Reasons Why or Ashnikko’s Cheerleader. Give me intrigue, give me drama, give me murder. Make me ask questions!

Gimme all your witches! It is fall, it is spooky, but your book doesn’t have to be. Send me the witches who are agents of chaos and THRIVING as such. Send me the witches that want to burn the world down. If you’ve got witches, I wanna see them!
