As chilling as it is beautiful. #MSWL

I don’t want military or political thrillers. Think more psychological or something that leans more to the literary side.

For the first time I am expanding my #MSWL to include thrillers. I am super picky with what I like, but if you write along the lines of YOU, SHARP OBJECTS, or THE WIFE BETWEEN US please send it my way.

What I would really find special would be a destination horror. For example, the Island of the Dolls in Mexico City would be an amazing setting. Give me more that the typical US spots. The darker, creepier, and more gothic it is...the better.

My favorite horror is definitely more psychological. Real people becoming monsters—Ma, Us, and Get Out are perfect examples of this.

Truth be told I love campy, tropey horror. Some favorite campy movies of are Cabin in the Woods and Evil Dead.

Happy Wednesday! Horror is a HUGE want for my #MSWL when I reopen tomorrow. I am searching for smart, spooky, atmospheric stories in MG, YA, and adult.

Very keen to see MG and YA in my submissions inbox at the moment...just sayin’ #submissions #MSWL

I'd really, really like to see more nonbinary protagonist stories. #MSWL

Knock knock
Boo's there?

I'd love more spooky MG mystery and MG ghost stories queries! #mswl

Lovecraft Country has me inspired! I’d love to see more Black fantasy novels! Give me your Afrofuturism! Your Black kids discovering time travel and new dimensions! (while leaving slavery out of it, please) #MSWL

I'm usually a strict SFF kind of girl, but guys, with the world as terrible as it is right now, I just want to read some fabulous, sexy romances--SFF or contemporary alike. So agents, send them my way! #MSWL

#MSWL this entire thread

I have certain plot things that I always love, in commercial or literary fiction: family secrets, locked rooms, dual timelines, exciting and tear-jerking finales, a sense of history and the book’s place in the larger scheme of life #MSWL

The Lark Group is reopening to queries on 10/5, so I'm going to be sharing some of my #MSWL this week!

And I am ALWAYS looking for #ownvoices and a diverse set of characters to these stories. Let teens ALL be able to see themselves in the books they read.❤️

Friends to enemies or enemies to friends where the two aren’t just fighting over some guy. Think Trinkets —which is so amazing and I need the new season now!

I love relationships that grow stronger over time, so having a YA or MG story along the lines of Schitt’s Creek would blow my mind!
