Hello writers: Submissions are now closed until next year. When I reopen, I will be accepting work exclusively from diverse writers. Thank you to everyone who submitted. I wish you continued success on your creative journey. #MSWL

#mswl I’m really looking to find some great spicy dark romance! Why choose or reverse harem also. Self-pubbed in these areas already & seeking rep? I’d love to see! 🔥

#mswl I'd love to see some more horror novellas and story collections in my inbox!

"Send me cozy mysteries like THE BOOK CLUB MURDERS by Leslie Nagel."

In addition, I'm looking for adult genre fiction, ranging from romance, mystery/thriller, and selectively sci-fi and fantasy. #Agents send me the things that blur genre too. #mswl

For #agents , taking my annual submission reminder from X to bsky to shout out the top of my #mswl is adult horror, especially would love to see more diverse voices, body horror, psychological, camp/humor, novella, story collection, and more. If it sits firmly in horror, I would love to see it!

"I’m craving intricately told stories—whether that be puzzle pieces or interpersonal drama or worldbuilding, I’m looking for many moving pieces."

"I would love fantasies with unique magic systems, strong characters, and stories inspired by myth or folklore, particularly outside the Western canon."

🤫 all the unreliable narrators, repressed trauma, memory fog, pathological liars, etc. etc.

🫨 thrillers with absolutely unpredictable endings, I neeeed something in the vein of We Were Liars where the twist slaps you in the face and you get SO mad and rate it 3* on Goodreads and then go back a month later to rate it 5* because you’re STILL thinking about it

🧛🏻👽 supernatural creatures of all shapes and colors - I would love to see a new take on vampires (I know everyone is asking for this…), werewolves, aliens, or something or someone else fresh and funky

💀 if your MS is going to make a child go “that book traumatized me as a kid” 10 years from now, in the sense that it has a uniquely shocking element or resolution, I want it

🦇 I don’t shy away from grit and gore in my inbox! I want to see your jaw-droppingly gross-out, sick, edgy, twisted stories (child appropriate… (barely))- I just finished the new Ed Gein season of Monster and my face the entire time looked like this: 🫣 but I couldn’t stop

it’s spooky season and I want to read some spooky queries 👻 I’m still very much on the hunt for horror and thrillers in both MG (is MG thriller a thing? it should be…) and YA! here are a few concepts really piquing my interest right now 👇🏻🎃 #mswl #amquerying

"I'm interested in health, wellness, humor, sports, pop culture, pop science, and pop psychology."
