A #MSWL update:
I’m no longer taking YA submissions. I’ll consider any YA subs that are already in my submissions folder, but will be focusing my attention solely on adult horror for Nightfire moving forward.

Yo agents, if anyone’s repping adult horror that has the same vibes as Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, I want it pls thank you #mswl

New pinned tweet! I hope this'll be a useful resource for agents.

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

And I'll keep a thread of the books I've acquired below!

Please note:
- agented subs only
- I’m open to adult (novels + novellas) & YA
- I almost exclusively edit horror

Since I've been getting some queries lately: I'm not currently considering middle-grade manuscripts! I mainly acquire adult horror for Nightfire + some select YA for Tor Teen. MG books are great! I'm just not the right editor for them 🙂
(#mswl; or...#antimswl I guess?)

I’m editing too many things right now so I should Not be thinking about more manuscripts but I really want a super queer, shippy, chaotic adult horror novel please thank you #mswl

So much love for the novella format during this #StokerCon panel 🖤 so just a reminder for agents: I love novellas!! Please send me adult horror novellas for Nightfire! #mswl

I would KILL for a fresh take on the Final Girl trope, written by a WOC. Agents, if you rep something like this please send it to me!! #mswl #horror

Hello, yes, agents if you rep #horror with messy queer characters please send me those manuscripts #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 want a Big Queer Horror Book because there are so few and this is a Crime. I want to constantly be drowning in spooky queer stuff #MSWL

I’m personally terrified of deep, open water (there could be anything down there!!!) (growing up in Florida and being afraid of the ocean was a trip). Please send me horror like Jaws, Underwater, etc. 🌊👀 #mswl

SEND ME QUEER HORROR PROJECTS. I've got a personal soft spot for bi protagonists (because...hi), but I'm looking for horror characters/stories from every part of the LGBTQ+ community. Give me characters grappling with sexuality/gender and ALSO monsters #mswl

IT'S HALLOWEEN MONTH IT'S HALLOWEEN MONTH so let me start a ✨spooky✨ #mswl thread for what I'm looking for @TorNightfire (adult horror) and @torteen (YA)
I'll update this thread periodically throughout the month.

Agents, please know I’m absolutely ravenous for queer adult #horror for @TorNightfire. Like, foaming at the mouth, clawing at the walls, wailing at the moon, etc. etc. #MSWL

God I just want an adult #horror novel with an epic queer romance at the center please just give this to me #MSWL

Great list! I want it to be about 10x longer tho 😩
*makes a blood sacrifice in hopes of having an inbox full of queer horror submissions*

Agents! I’m dying for some #ownvoices queer horror. I would love to see authors using horror as a unique lens to explore gender and sexuality. And I want it to be triumphant af.
Please give me all the LGBTQ+ protagonists. #MSWL #horror

I’m not seeing enough cannibalism stories in my inbox. I want a fresh, exciting take on cannibalism, and I want to hate myself as I eat my lunch while reading it #MSWL #horror

Ok, it’s 2020. I would like to see much more queer horror, please and thank you #MSWL

Give me that horrible, claustrophobic feeling of not being able to trust the people closest to you. Give me a story where the protagonist has to betray the people they love because they’re not sure if the people they love can be trusted #MSWL
