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.

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 🙂

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
