This needs a comeback! #MSWL

"I'd really love to get more YA horror in my inbox. Smart horror. I don't want gore, I want a story that creeps me out, and asks questions I don't want answers to."

#mswl

Incredibly lush and deeply atmospheric books. I'm especially looking for writers who can take these big plots and craft well developed character arcs that don't sacrifice world building for quickened pacing.
#mswl

Dark speculative work. Thrillers. Academies. Murder mysteries. Occult studies. Haunted museums. Gothic mansions. An atmosphere to fall in love with opulent richness of the dark.
#mswl

Kids stories where young people fall back in love with their histories and ancestors through exploring and adventure and reclaiming their heritage in an action packed setting. Think the plot for Outerbanks for marginalized kids
#mswl

Love stories across all genres that feel timeless, all consuming, LIs who worship their partner, “he falls first,” burn the world down for you, making questionable choices for love
#mswl

In both YA and Adult, I want these two buffoons. A political backdrop with extensive world building and incredible conflicts anchored by the hatred and love of two people who are somehow functioning when they should probably be dead

💌I’m officially open to queries💌

And it’s my favorite day of the year! So let’s talk about things I love, tropes to love, love that turns to hate, lovers who were enemies, and love that hurts.
Here’s my #mswl for books I want to help people find and love and sob over 💗💗💗💗

I am on the hunt for exciting new authors to represent. I would love to find lots of things, including an original thriller, a book club novel, narrative non-fiction and anything uplifting to help combat this bizarre world. You can see more here: unitedagents.co.uk/afeineruniteda… #mswl

#HappyValentinesDay, #amquerying! Just a reminder that I'm closing to submissions tonight at 11:59 ❤️ So, send me some #booklove & get those queries to me! XOXO

If you are a WOC writing a book that could fairly be described as a twist on the reality television housewife trope, in ANY genre except SFF, @alexandriab_11 and I will 100% fight over it. We'll take the query WHILE we're both closed, that's how much we want it. #MSWL

"Upmarket fiction I loved (from the past year or two): LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU, NOTES ON AN EXECUTION, THE GLASS HOTEL, and MARRYING THE KETCHUPS.”

As a note for those #amquerying and reading my #mswl, I am not the right match for:
-romantic suspense
-climate/eco thrillers
-books dealing with covid
-terrorism plots
-court room dramas
