🐉Monsters, ghosts, cryptids. To kiss? To kill? To make friends with? To become? All of the above.

🧛Funny fantasy, à la What We Do In the Shadows

🕴️The bizarre treated banally, like Control or Magnus Archives

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. Spook me! #MSWL

For YA, I'm more turning to Historical, Contemporary, and Contemporary Romance. Super selective on Fantasy and Paranormal right now, though would still love to see concepts on witches or ghosts (and vamps if unique!)
#querytip #amquerying #writingcommunity

My YA romantasy caveat is that the romance must be between humans. I am not the right fit for fae or elves or orcs or mermaids or aliens or robots.

(However, things that were once human are OK: vampires, werewolves, ghosts). #mswl

hi, just tweeting out that since #JulieandThePhantoms was canceled and I've been thinking about it ever since... 😭

#MSWL for a fun YA ghost story with similar feel-good vibes and messages about healing through your grief 💛

Looking for ALL the graphic novel ghost stories! More more boo than blood and more spooky than scary for MG, but I'm all in for YA and Adult. Have a headless horseman retelling? Yes, please.

I also love paranormal elements like monsters and ghosts. And anything witchy! I love characters fighting their own "inner demons” too! I'm selectively open to elements like vampires.

Any atmospheric setting--e.g. an eerie seaside town might be cool!

Last night I procrastinated so much on Actual Things (cleaning? life? etc) that I made myself a website 👀 taragonzalez.com

#MSWL !!!

ADULT HORROR

🕸️Psychological horror, rather than gore-y horror

🏖️ Summery settings not usually associated with horror

👩Relatable characters facing complicated moral dilemmas

👾 Cool monsters! Scary ghosts!

ADULT ROMANCE (2/2)

🔮Paranormal, but ghosts and witches rather than vampires and werewolves

🎬Relationships in the public eye (think THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO)

💥Unlikable heroines! Enemies-to-lovers!

🔥 All heat levels

My Brilliant Friend, but a thriller, set somewhere in the Americas and maybe more ghosts? #MSWL

Hot gothic romance with monsters or ghosts? HEA/HFN 50-75K Adult or NA only. Send it please! QueryManager.com/LisaGreenQueri… #MSWL

I am also on the lookout for YA fantasy with a well-defined hook and a voice that sweeps me away, or an original concept involving ghosts or paranormal investigation. #MSWL

I usually prefer contemporary or near-historical realism, but will sometimes consider speculative fiction, fantasy, psych thrillers, lite dystopian, literary horror, and paranormal (especially dealing with ghosts). #MSWL

#MSWL Speaking of #Supernatural, I'm a huge fan of the series and think it would be fun to see something in this vein...a ghost hunters-like story in the vein of Victoria Laurie's Ghost Hunter Series. (Gosh, I loved those books!) and the TV show, Supernatural.

#MSWL #YA: I love RomComs and anything with a ghost-y or #supernatural quality. #LTBTQ+, #OwnVoices and #BIPOC authors are always welcome. I do still like issue-driven YA, but am looking for something super-edgy in this realm.
