#MSWL MG with evil geniuses à la Artemis Fowl. Like, it’s great when kids save the world, but I’d love to see them trying to take over the world, too.

But in a way that makes me root for the main character. I want to *want* them to succeed, no matter their goal.

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

I’m from Florida so give me some spooky swamps. Something creeping beneath the water, the deafening sound of insects, that humid heat that makes it hard to breathe....#MSWL

I want smart horror protagonists. I’m tired of watching protagonists make stupid decisions that get them killed. It’s so much scarier when you do everything right, and bad stuff still happens to you! #MSWL

In celebration of Halloween, I’m gonna be posting another #MSWL thread, since I’m dying for more spooky things in my inbox!

General info: I’m not currently accepting unagented submissions. My priority is adult horror for @TorNightfire, but I love YA horror too 👻

Do Black writers know that everything we create doesn’t have to be about our trauma? I don’t wanna see another get out the hood, police brutality, abusive relationship, segregation, or slavery story. We deal with that shit every day. TF I WANNA WATCH THAT IN MY FREE TIME FOR

This is why I keep asking for the stories that feature POC and more specifically black teens and adults in happy situations like falling in love, figuring out who they are, having great friendships because the world is already hard enough for us as it is. #MSWL

I'd really love for some quirky, geeky nonfiction in the vein of "Of Dice and Men" or "The Lady from the Black Lagoon" but about video games, manga (CLAMP anyone?), or that explores pop culture through the lense of an influencial creator or medium or unique perspective. #MSWL

#MSWL for updates or new creative takes on classic literary novels that *aren't* Jane Austen books. Where my Bronte lovers at?

“Clean Teen” books? 🤔

Seems to be code for “straight” imo, or at the very least “isn’t it great how they’re gay but it’s not, like, a big deal!” plus no sex/cursing/drugs/drinking. SO, new #mswl: write me a “clean teen” book with a SUPER QUEER mc that I can rub in their faces.
