Adult genre fiction, especially horror (send all your horror!!!), mystery/thriller, and romance. Selectively happy to consider sci-fi and fantasy.

And as many know I’ve spent a long time in children’s, and I’m still considering all children’s titles for Zando. Many more…

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!

Annual reminder to literary agents that I’m on the hunt for more adult horror projects.

I’d especially love #mswl to find stories steeped in rage; unexpected settings; new voices or voices established in horror. I’m hungry for it all!

#MSWL

-Isolated thrillers. Give me your ocean settings

-Anything that comps to SADIE, GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER, VERA WONG, NO EXIT. THE WRITING RETREAT

I'd love to queer up the commercial horror and thriller space even more! Agents, let's talk!

#MSWL Horror! I want all of it, but would especially love a hook-y slasher, psychological and body horror.

Horror I've enjoyed recently THE NIGHT GUEST, REST STOP, SO THIRSTY, Gretchen Felker-Martin, NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT. Reading: NESTLINGS and re-reading SHE IS A HAUNTING.

Romance! Happy to consider any and all queer and BIPOC stories, would especially love a cozy fantasy with romance, a horror romance, something speculative/five minutes in the future.

Anything that can be comped to Talia Hibbert, Helen Hoang, Emily Henry, etc. #MSWL

All things horror. Give me your slashers, body horror, horror as a vehicle for exploring trauma, psychological horror, horror in film and tv.

Think horror in the vein of Malice House, Manhunt, The Shining, or Maeve Fly. I want it all! #MSWL

All things horror!! Think Jordan Peele and Scream. I want your psychological, your slasher, your haunted house, your ghosts and hauntings. If it fits under the horror umbrella, I want to see it.
