"I'm seeking supernatural and psychological thrillers."

I'm definitely looking for more submissions from people who write and illustrate graphic novels. #MSWL I've found I don't connect as strongly with just graphic novel texts, which is why I usually prefer to see sample pages of graphic novels from author-illustrators, for any children's age group.

Nonfic: I really want to work with someone writing about cultural spiritual practices. Like from a grounded, researched approach that is not aiming to make it necessarily more accessible but aiming to capture the roots and history of the practice. #mswl

I would love to see something more upmarket that plays around with media and time the way Daisy Jones’s and the Six does. #mswl

Also anything that gives me the feeling of Bartimaeus by Jonathan Stroud. A genuinely funny, sarcastic MC, a fleshed-out world (either based in ours or not), and lovable character dynamics. #MSWL

#MSWL I really want something like The Last Hour Between Worlds or Voyage of the Damned. A mystery set in a fantasy world, where powers make it more complicated to figure out the 'whodunnit.' Bonus points for a time loop

#MSWL
Not open right now, but I hope to be by the end of spring. What I really want to see is #ADULT #crossgenre stories. #Scifi romance, horror romance, humorous #litRPG w/a horror element. Weird, quirky, spicy is okay, just no abuse, rape, or animal death.

#Horror #MSWL Modern, inventive takes on Haunted Houses; Technology making our life worse; ALL THE BODY HORROR

#Horror #MSWL GIVE ME YOUR WEIRD SH*T! Things that experiment with the form (choose your own adventure), use images (Strange Houses), or just do weird, wild things (House of Leaves).

#Horror #MSWL I also want: Underwater cryptid horror; aliens but ON EARTH (think No One Will Save You); locked room horror (We Need to Do Something); stuff with twins, doppelgängers, changelings; escape room / gameboard horror (like a horror jumanji); underdog cryptids no one has heard of

#Horror #MSWL Give me horror comedy! Think Sam Raimi, Eli Craig, and Edgar Wright vibes. But I would especially love to see more diverse voices in this space! I love reluctant heroes/ everyday schlubs who are forced to reckon with dark dealings. And a dash of social commentary along the way.

I'm interested in investigative nonfiction; Cobalt Red is an example from a geopolitical and human rights lens. And anything with an element of gonzo journalism. #mswl

This is my official #MSWL which I haven't updated in awhile (sorry!) but it's still a good sense of my taste. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/em...

And here are my MSWL tweets from recent to days of yore (Twitter). mswishlist.com/agent/esc_key

#MSWL I'd love to see wuxia or xianxia stories from Asian writers or the diaspora, either in YA/MG. I find stories from Asian history and folklore fascinating and want to see more from authors from those cultures. But I'm not interested if it's from a cultural appropriation self-insert perspective.

Super eager to see some folk horror. Especially if it toes the line of speculative without going full paranormal. A kind of “am I imagining it or is that deer kind of f****d up?” vibe 😉 #mswl

I'd like more "light" crime narratives about swindlers/forgers/thieves, where the purpose is really to bring readers deep into a fascinating subculture. Examples include The Feather Thief, In Vino Duplicitas, and The Absinthe Forger (which I repped). #mswl

Folks checking out my #MSWL Day posts!

I will re-open to queries in the spring - you can check out my timing, etc. here:
querytracker.net/query/Lzampetti

#MSWL PLEASE send more sci-fi, fantasy, romance, and horror with "older" protagonists. If those bad asses are over 40, have "scars" earned through life experience, and still manage to "make it look easy," then I want your query. More info at

I always hope it doesn't need to be said, but sadly it does: even though I'm so white I'm clear and very much cishet, I'm not the agent for books that feature any kind of intolerance toward other people, whether race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc. I don't tolerate intolerance. #MSWL

Sidebar: I’m not really the agent to try if your books are about BIPOC characters, but you don’t come from that background. And I’m going to be brutally honest, I don’t care if you’re married or something to a person from that race/ethnicity, because it’s not the same as a lived experienced. #MSWL
