And I'm always on the hunt for more trans genre fiction, especially where trauma isn't the main plot thread (though I can read those too!). I'd love to see more trans femme rep in my inbox! Please universe! #mswl

Another reminder to agents that I'm on the hunt for submissions this fall! I'd love to see MORE adult and YA #horror in my inbox! Give me your books that comp to Aliens and Scream or both! Your psychological horror! Isolated thrillers! I want all things creepy!

Romance! Happy to consider any and all queer and BIPOC stories, would especially love a cozy fantasy with romance, a horror romance, something speculative/five minutes in the future.

Anything that can be comped to Talia Hibbert, Helen Hoang, Emily Henry, etc. #MSWL

An isolated thriller! I eat them up like popcorn!

I'd also love to see a thriller following a queer friend group or found family! Recently enjoyed First Lie Wins.

All things horror. Give me your slashers, body horror, horror as a vehicle for exploring trauma, psychological horror, horror in film and tv.

Think horror in the vein of Malice House, Manhunt, The Shining, or Maeve Fly. I want it all! #MSWL

Queer characters across all genres. I'd love to see more trans femme stories, especially with joy and/or being the center of some adventure or solving a mystery/crime/murder! #mswl

Since we're all kinda talking about our wishlists, can I just say I am still always looking for picture book stories that are weird. And maybe don't really teach you anything. Bonus points if the protagonist is a weird little girl.

In terms of MG, I'm looking for all the above, but would also love to find a novel-in-verse and anything exploring queerness and/or found families for younger readers!

I'd especially love to see trans femme stories across all genres!

All things horror!! Think Jordan Peele and Scream. I want your psychological, your slasher, your haunted house, your ghosts and hauntings. If it fits under the horror umbrella, I want to see it.

As a small sampling of things I love and am on the lookout for:

Genre-benders (think Romantasy, thrillers with a dash of romance, etc)
Speculative with heart (AS King, Adam Silvera, Kacen Callendar)
Thrillers (Isolated settings and beyond)
Sci-Fi (grounded and/or sweeping)
