At the end of the day, I'm looking for stories with depth, heart, characters I can root for, & worlds I can get lost in.

If you're querying with any of the above, or something not mentioned but still on my MSWL, be sure to query me when I reopen!

querytracker.net/query/samanthafabien

🕯️ Horror (that lingers): If it's atmospheric, unsettling, or emotionally resonant, I'm in! I'm drawn to nuanced stories where the "monster" says something about us.

Also always open to genre-blends!

⚔️ Fantasy (with teeth): Layered and dynamic characters and world-building. I'm a sucker for non-western mythology and themes of rebellion, autonomy, feminism, and gray morality. I'm also dying for my perfect werewolf book (🐺!)

I'm officially open to queries again!

In Adult & YA, I'm especially hungry for... ⬇️
(www.samanthafabien.com/mswl)

❤️‍🔥 (Swoony) Romantasy: Give me sweeping worlds + all-consuming romances with characters I'd fight for (or with). +1 for inventive magic systems, unique premises, and marginalized POVs.

"I love a strong romance plotline in a speculative setting, like THE UNDERTAKING OF HART AND MERCY and WINTER'S ORBIT."

#mswl #AmQuerying #WritersOfTwitter

#MSWL Fiction or nonfiction by Black writers about marijuana—a book of essays, a cookbook for special brownies and treats of the sort, political analysis of legalization, a queer romcom with a budtender main character, fiction where a character gets high responsibly and nothing bad happens to them…

Reminder to #agents that I'm still on the lookout for more adult horror in my inbox! Give me all the gore, psychological suspense, grounded sci-fi, body horror, haunted objects/houses! #mswl I want it all!

I'm only open to queries the 1st - 7th of each months. When I reopen in May I would like to receive all the nonfiction. What you might think I mean is "a lot of nonfiction." But what I really mean is, "all of it." #parksandrec #ronswanson #mswl

#MSWL Update! I am opening up for submissions, as I've got a hankering for standout Book Club/Upmarket fiction. Have a manuscript for me? Submit here:

On TikTok, I saw this great advice about opening your novel demonstrating your main character's flaw in some small, but obvious way! I'm seeing a lot of manuscripts not starting with the main character at all! #writingtips #MSWL

Wait... I want this book. Someone send me this book. #MSWL

Heading into summer reading, updated #MSWL , on #QueryManager . Would like to see more YA, NA, and Adult science fiction, family saga, and unique retellings. Can have subgenres in historical, horror, magical realism, military, speculative, environmental/climate, & extinction.

Maybe it’s because there’s so much doom and gloom in the world right now, but I’d love to see YA in my inbox with more humor. I want more cozy fantasies with light-heartedness, sass, or even snark, not constant death and destruction. #MSWL

Grosse Pointe Garden Society #MSWL PLEASE

It'll be a while before I reopen to queries (I swear I'm getting to them!), but when I do, I'd love to see more manuscripts from Mizrahi Jewish authors. #mswl
