#MSWL - YA or MG paranormal: vampires, werewolves, oh my! Particularly interested in paranormal from underrepresented points of view and stories that bring something new to the genre. Related: contemp fantasy a la LEGENDBORN, a 2020 fav, too.

#MSWL - MG series with big concepts and high stakes. Think NEVERMOOR, THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL, upcoming AMARI & THE NIGHT BROTHERS, etc.

If I’m going to spend time inside someone’s head, I want them to be messy and conflicted. I want them to feel envy, greed, shame. I want them to be manipulative and deceitful. I want them their inner life to be at odds with their public persona. I do not want them to be nice.

I am intrigued by characters who want to be good people, but keep making the wrong choices (habits are hard to break, esp if it comes from a place of trauma). I appreciate characters who are, in fact, good people, but who can’t see it (maybe they are hiding a shameful secret?).

A conclusion: I don’t like reading about nice characters. By ‘nice’ I mean characters who genuinely think they’re good people. I am drawn to characters who have to pretend to be nice to survive (especially if they’ve learned it the hard way). #MSWL #WritingCommunity

Watching Anastasia, one of my all-time favorites. Give me a romance that feels like Anya and Dimitri’s! #MSWL

Hello 2021! Starting off the year with a new pinned tweet. Things to note about me:

- agented subs only
- pls don’t pitch me on Twitter
- I’m open to adult & YA subs, but I have a preference for adult
- I almost exclusively edit horror

My #MSWL is here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kris…

I do some nonfiction!

I love the mind, body, spirit section, but geared towards spirit. Tarot cards, astrology, crystals, mysticism, candles, witches are all my jam. Marginalized voices are being recognized in this category, so I’d love to see your projects! #MSWL

For Adult, send me your romcoms or category romances! I’m also looking for big, juicy love stories. I live for the feels. I love women’s fiction on the light and fluffy side. Family stories, etc. Those are my kinds of stories #MSWL

For YA horror, I can do more on the psychological horror side. Is this real? Does this exist? As always, marginalized voices welcome! #MSWL

I’m looking for YA fantasy that is ownvoices/by marginalized voices! MENA authors, Black authors, queer authors, send me some! I love commercial fiction that’s character driven, with voice that drips off the page, high concept and tightly plotted. I’m an avid fantasy reader #MSWL
