I'd really love a ghostly horror story that is one part all those sea shanties we can't stop listening to, one part The Lighthouse, and a dash of The Terror. Even better if it's BIPOC and LGBTQIA+. #MSWL

Authors keep querying me manuscripts with ghosts in them, and it's WONDERFUL. You all are reading my mind. Please keep them coming! #MSWL

Oddly specific Halloween #mswl: in the mood for... a YA ghost romance? πŸ€” Some kind of historical or time-travel shenanigans a plus but not required.

i want a book about one of those stage-show psychic mediums, but it's organized and mostly run by their ghost companions, and mostly funny as they rehash all the petty issues they're carrying instead of confronting their real baggage with the living #MSWL

I'm always in the mood for a ghost story! A fresh take on classic themes (I am a sucker for haunted houses) for adults, spunky kids in spooky houses for MG, nonfiction how-tos: how to build a haunted house, Halloween how-tos, crafty Halloween. #MSWL QueryManager.com/Stacey3Seas

Gothic fiction with possibly a modern storyline, too (I love THE LITTLE STRANGER by Sarah Waters and THE GREATCOAT by Helen Dunmore). Give me some ghosts. #mswl

Ghost stories. Don’t know why. Don’t know if they will even sell. But I want all the ghost stories that will literally scare me out of bed at night. Thanks in advance for the lack of sleep. If you can honestly scare me, you’re hired. πŸ‘» #MSWL
