Boo's there?

I'd love more spooky MG mystery and MG ghost stories queries! #mswl

OH! And one more thing I'd love to have! #MSWL: Adult (and for THIS ONLY for right now) YA stories with ghosts and ghost hunters in the vein of @Victoria_Laurie's Ghost Hunter series!

“Picture Books: the Wheel of the Year, cultural traditions/history, tales of mythology and lore, object-based nonfiction (no biographies), ghosts.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

"Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book-- you name it, I'm here for it." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

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

Also included in #PitMad #MSWL are #NF #PopScience
and works with #otherworldly themes such as #astrology #tarot #ghosts #space #magic
but NOT #SF or Fantasy

Please send query and 3 sample chaps to my attn at dca@doncongdon.com

Hello, my spookers! Do you love ghosts even half as much as I do? Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book-- you name it, I'm here for it. #MSWL

Things I’d love to find in there include but are not limited to: love stories, contemporary YA, ghost/horror stories and brilliant non-fic proposals about the complex and diverse world we live in. #submissions #MSWL

Would love a spooky/funny middle-grade ghost story. Or a terrifying one for YA. #mswl #ya #mg

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. 👻 #MSWL

CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP on my #mswl a #contemporary #fantasy #mg that gives me legit creeps. Monsters, ghosts, etc WELCOME

Send us your books! A bit more about what we at @GreeneandHeaton are looking for at the moment. #MSWL #manuscriptwishlist

From @susanW1F: I adore novels with a sense of mischief, powerful prose/voice, dark in unexpected ways, but never bleak. I love a contemporary, complex family story, or something with a speculative edge - ghosts, folklore, magic, ‘otherness’. Find me here: bit.ly/3dvyqWg

I'd also love some comedy-horror in middle-grade. I don't know what that looks like, but I do know I love ghosts and zombies.

Updated #MSWL: humorous PB's with a surprise twist, and non-fic focusing on unsung heroes (pref. #ownvoices), MG with a clear narrative arc, unforgettable characters and a strong emotional core. Stories that bring out the magic in the ordinary. And ghosts!
