4/6 #mswl Love light to epic fantasy. Dragons, fae, elves! Trad fantasy setting or grounded in the real world (urban fantasies.) The Book of Doors – Gareth Brown is a fave! Fantasy is your imagination, so I don’t want to put many strictures on this one. Let me see what you have!

3/6 #mswl Horror! Atmospheric/eerie. Haunted houses, escapes, monsters, zombies, rage, body horror. Some faves: The Escape Room – Megan Goldin; Maeve Fly – CJ Leede; Hidden Pictures – Jason Rekulak; The Staircase in the Woods – Chuck Wendig; What Grows in the Dark – Jaq Evans.

2/6 #mswl Really looking for YA/NA/Adult Susp/Psych/Thrillers. Some ex: You Shouldn’t Have Come Here – Jeneva Rose; Everyone on This Train is a Suspect – Benjamin Stevenson; Everyone is Watching – Heather Gudenkauf; Little Secrets – Jennifer Hillier. Also some female rage!

1/6 #writers #writingcommunity #amquerying #amediting I’m reopening to queries on 8/25! Check out my fully updated #MSWL but here are some I’m really hungry for: YA/NA/Adult romances/WF. Spec, magical realism, paranormal, you name it. Check my #MSWL for specific titles I love.

"I love cookbooks with a unique angle, such as the ROASTING TIN series, COOKING FOR ONE, and MIDNIGHT CHICKEN (& OTHER RECIPES WORTH LIVING FOR)."

as well as my anti-mswl and a bit more as to why a certain thing is on my anti-mswl. If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to reach out!

For all other authors, I do not have an open date as of yet, I recently closed the end of July and am hoping to open

In fantasy, I look for more grounded fantasy - more of this is explained on my site!

I am craving a creepy and twisted Rumpelstiltskin retelling!! If you've read The Land of the Lost Things by John Connolly, you know what I mean!

There is more than this small list on my site

growing apart, first crushes, first dances, all of the ups and downs of tween-hood!

Horror in MG: give me all the horror and spooky vibes please! Anything in the vein of The Jumbies, The Otherwoods, The Clackity, Last Laugh, and so on!

to lovers -- somebody making it out of the friendzone.

Thriller: I would love a psychological thriller! Something that really makes me think and has me on the edge of my seat!

In MG: I would love a funny contemporary story that is relatable to all -- friendship breakups,

Romance: I'm looking for a modern love story -- modern meaning within the year we are currently in. I would love anything that is funny, witty, and feels like I’m in a modern Kate Hudson movie. This is more for NA/Adult and in YA I would love a good rivals to lovers or friends

As a summarized version I am craving a gorgeous lyrical horror in the vein of Don't Let the Forest In by C.G. Drews, Your Blood My Bones, anything that can be comped to Andrew Joseph White or Jamison Shea. This goes for YA - Adult! (more on MG below)
