I generally prefer my horror to be set in our world or something that resembles it, either past or present (think AHS: Murder House). Haunted places are a go as long as the world around them is real. But… #MSWL

I’d love to take on more #MG and #YA horror, so here are some details on that: #MSWL #amquerying #amwriting

#MSWL

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I’m dying to find an adult novel (submission) that chains me to my computer until I’m done reading. Specifically a dark, twisty, suspenseful novel. (Recent favorites: The Push, Blacktop Wasteland, Attica Locke, Leave the World Behind) #MSWL

Tropes are tropes for a reason: people love them. And they love seeing their comfort content through different lenses. These worlds are universal; we should show that! I am here all day—truly willing to wait in the QueryManager lobby for hours—for these stories. #MSWL

Competitions! I looooove books with competitions, especially when they're speculative: The Hunger Games, A Gathering of Shadows, Caraval, The Selection. I'm a big fan. #mswl

I see so many things comped to Naomi Novik that those comps have kind of lost meaning for me, but nevertheless I love romantic and literary fantasy that draws from folklore, especially if it's interrogating heavier topics, as SPINNING SILVER interrogates antisemitism. #mswl

I represent fiction cover artists, as well as middle grade and picture books artists. Love this dreamy new portfolio piece by Amanda Quartey 🔥 thebrightagency.com/us/publishing/… 🎨 #mswishlist #mswl #fiction

Horror! Things that keep me awake at night! If it can comp to MEXICAN GOTHIC or Hill House/Bly Manor (or Pan's Labyrinth, my perennial fave), I want to see it! #mswl

Historical with fabulist elements. Think Alice Hoffman — literary prose, a sharply defined setting, just a hint of magic. #MSWL

Picture books! I've had a blast working on picture book texts recently and I'd love to see more of them.

I like fresh concepts with strong illustration potential and language that pops. #MSWL

I am obsessed with houses born bad. I'd love to see more ghost stories (MG and adult) with a house as a major character! #mswl

“Pop psychology & fun self help projects, especially from a qualified position (i.e. therapist, psychologist, life coach, etc). I love books that can provide tangible ways to improve yourself, while also being considered a fun read.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

On my eternal #mswl is a romcom (YA or Adult) where one of the MCs is a Type I diabetic.

This request brought to you by the fact that my new insurance requires prior authorization on the insulin that I’ve been using for over 20 years. So now I get to pay more to stay alive.

Send me all your Goose Girls #MSWL

Very excited to read THE UPSTAIRS House by Julia Fine! And #MSWL, which is probably already abundantly clear from my feed--if it's weird & about motherhood, I want it!

Monthly reminder that I'd love more of the following stories:

- Southern Gothic

- Small town/isolated settings with a darkness to them and how characters deal with it. Think Sawkill Girls or Burn Our Bodies Down

- Queer found families with various dynamics.

#MSWL

#MSWL A queer historical novel about these women!
