Our own @megwheelez is on top of the world and re-opening to queries today! Check out her new #MSWL, and if you think you might be a good fit, we can't wait to see you in our Submissions inbox!

I am officially open to queries! You can query using Query Manager at QueryManager.com/2011

I accept adult SFF, including horror, and adult cozy mystery.

I accept all genre of YA and MG.

I am not looking for PB, NF or graphic novels at this time.

To query me, paste the first chapter of your manuscript and your query in my QM form (QueryManager.com/ClaraChuiton)!

I try to answer all queries in under two weeks, but my workload does not always allow it. Feel free to nudge me if you have not received a reply after three weeks!

As always, I am looking to amplify the voices of BIPOC, disabled, and LGBTQ+ authors. Anything set somewhere other than America is likely to catch my eye, and so are projects with non-binary and trans MCs.

For sci-fi manuscripts, the softer and cozier the better. Anything set on a spaceship, with a strong romantic subplot, a diverse cast, and high, commercial stakes, will sweep me off my feet.

I would love to see more high-concept horror, in settings or time periods that feel new. Queer horror (think THE DEAD AND THE DARK or WILDER GIRLS but adult), gothic, and psychological horror are my favorites, but I never know what I'm going to fall in love with!

For the romance genre, some of the keywords that pique my interest in a query are: sapphic, #ownvoices, rom-coms, historical, nerdy, fun, fantastical, rivalry, and academia.

If your query contains one or two (or more) of these words, I'd love to read it!

I'm open to queries again! Which means it's about time for an updated ✨2022 MSWL✨

I am still focusing exclusively on adult genres, with my priority being romance, science-fiction, and horror. #MSWL

Alright now, who's ready to write me the sapphic pastel goth magical academy book of my dreams? #MSWL

This is brilliant and why I would love this story #MSWL

“Pop psychology & fun self-help projects, especially from a qualified position (i.e. therapist, psychologist, life coach, etc). I love books that can provide tangible ways to improve yourself, while also being considered a fun read.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

As an acquiring editor and a huge food nerd, I’m looking for cookbook proposals from authors with an established platform! #mswl Recipe writers/testers or literary agents with lifestyle/nonfiction authors, take note 🤞🏼

I've also always loved the breaking down nostalgia and the journey of pushing back and breaking out of Pleasantville and The Truman Show. I'd love those themes in a series, too. #MSWL

#MSWL tonight - psychologically creepy MG. Give me Stepford or Get Out or Us in middle grade form. Creep me out like Coraline.

Putting out a call for humor like this amazing book I read recently… until 5:30am. 🙃
