I'm looking for anything commercial with a touch of weird - the bolder, the better across ages and genres. #MSWL

Give me super twisty, weird, notable adult thrillers that leave you guessing (but when you look back, it all clicks into place) #MSWL

I'm actively searching for more author-illustrators of picture books and illustrated chapter books! #MSWL

If you think we’d be a fit, I'm always happy to take a look! I reopen to queries in January 2025. #MSWL #WritingCommunity (4/4)

👉 Grounded fiction with an edge—magical realism, speculative elements, and sharp hooks. Fantasy always welcome, but I’m leaning toward reality-anchored stories right now.
👉 Commercial & Upmarket fiction
👉 Mike Flanagan vibes—emotional, haunting, deeply human—I want it. (3/4)

👉 Adult suspense, thriller, or horror with unrelenting tension.
👉 Dark, intense stories with twists that leave me breathless.
👉 Genre-blending romance, especially horror romance. Anything that pushes the boundaries of romance while keeping the emotional core intact. (2/4)

🎉 New Year, new #MSWL ! Here’s what I’m eager to see when I reopen in 2025:

👉 Bold, imaginative, PBs from author-illustrators
👉 Latinx, BIPOC, marginalized author-illustrators
👉 Laugh-out-loud funny PBs—smart, clever humor (no fart books or potty humor plz) (1/4)

Send me more Suspense & Psychological Thrillers please! #mswl

SOMEONE SEND ME A DINO GHOST STORY! Especially if it’s adult horror. #mswl

So….high stakes ENCANTO for adults. Anyone have something like that? #MSWL

#MSWL

-More illustrators or author/illustrators, especially marginalized
-Poetic, lyrical PBs (but not rhyme) with lots of layers and heart
-Creepy, spooky ghost stories (Adult/New Adult)
-Gorgeous prose but highly commercial concepts across the board

I’m itching for more horror: gothic, eerie, paranormal. (Just not straight up gore) #mswl

Surprise! I’m open to queries…now! In celebration of lots of ✨vague✨ news I’ll be sharing soon, I’m going to stay open indefinitely (or until I need a break to catch up) Check out my updated #mswl

I am OPENING TO QUERIES from Nov 13th-20th! Stay tuned for my MSWL.

Also, if any teachers follow me, I’d like to find some non-fiction education/pedagogy/teaching guide books.

Surprise! I’m opening to queries November 1st-18th! While I love picture books, I have a lot of them on sub so I’m hoping to find:

-YA fantasy, paranormal, or horror (no gore!)
-Adult fantasy or thrillers
-MG mystery

Ooh! I’m also hoping to find books about curls or with curly haired characters. (Type 3 or 4) #MSWL

Personally , it took me until adulthood to love my hair bc:
1. I didn’t know how to care for it
2. People told me it looked better straightened

#PBpitch is coming up so here are some of the types of stories I’m on the lookout for:

Picture books…
-by underrepresented authors
-with Abuelas and lots of love
-heartfelt family messages
-anything musical
-bilingual books
…and more!
