Kristin Temple

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…

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

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

Agents, if you have a client writing anything like Get Out or Vampires vs the Bronx, I want it #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

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

Need a new pinned tweet, so agents! Be sure to check out my #mswl profile 👇🏻

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

Dammit all I want is a good redemption arc now #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

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

I want something like The Descent—female-centric, claustrophobic as hell, and full of creepy monsters #MSWL
