Hello 2021! Starting off the year with a new pinned tweet. Things to note about me:
- agented subs only
- pls donβt pitch me on Twitter
- Iβm 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/krisβ¦

Rewatching Ready or Not and goddamn I love this movie so much. Humor + nail-biting tension + a protagonist who is Not Here to Deal With This Shit = a truly great time

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

Iβm 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. ππ #mswl

I love creatures. Give me first contact alien encounters. Give me creatures from folklore. Give me unknown monsters with lots and lots of teeth #mswl

In the same vein...someone please send me queer Midsommar. As my brilliant coworker @jruoxichen pointed out, the plot SHOULD have been: "Florence Pugh rejects mediocre man and joins Scandinavian lesbian collective to sing crop rites and do craft." I need it. #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

morg πΈ @garnetmorgue
i am waiting for these big publishers to see that so so so many people give love to queer YA books so therefore,,,,it would make sense for them to start pushing queer adult fiction like queer kids do grow up u knowAgents, please know Iβm absolutely ravenous for queer adult #horror for @TorNightfire. Like, foaming at the mouth, clawing at the walls, wailing at the moon, etc. etc. #MSWL

Agents! Iβm 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

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 theyβre not sure if the people they love can be trusted #MSWL

Contemporary horror set in NYC. Gimmie haunted apartments, office buildings, subways (can you imagine π±)! #MSWL
