Hello 2026! As we get closer to the new year—and my query inbox reopening—it’s time for me to update what I’m looking for. I saw a lot of fabulous projects in 2025 (but more on that later), and I’m excited about what I might find in 2026. #mswl

"In adult fiction, I'm seeking horrors about religious deconstruction and cults."

"Send me upmarket genre fiction: fantasy, grounded science fiction, magical realism, and horror."

"Got a story featuring femme gore and body horror? Send it my way."

And horror! Send me your horror picture books.

"I love Gothic fiction of all kinds and crave horror through immersive atmosphere and prose."

YELLOWJACKETS YA survival horror #MSWL

If your stories have dark academia or gothic themes/settings, I want to see them. Cross genres like horror romance or dysto-mance are great. Religious horror is always fun. Fantasies from all cultures #questpit #mswl

I’m dipping into #questpit , but if I miss your pitch and you think we’d be a good fit, query me! I’m looking for horror, fantasy, and romance in YA, NA, and adult. Marginalized creators are my top priority.

If you’re in the Midwest and love kidlit, come hang out with me at the SCBWI Iowa Halloweekend Conference Oct 31–Nov 2! We’ll talk stories, characters, and maybe swap Halloween candy. 🍬 Who’s in?? (I neeeeeeeeed more YA Horror) #MSWL

Before I close to submissions in November, I want to see more horror in my inbox. It can be as scary (or as tame) as you like, for YA, NA, or Adult! #mswl #WritingCommunity

As always, I’d love to see horror (and every other genre!) from marginalized perspectives. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and disabled creators, please send me your stories! #mswl

I’d really love Southern or Appalachian horror too! #mswl

Writers, I’m in the mood for horror. I want all of it—cozy horror, horror romance, gothic horror, and more—across YA, new adult, and adult. Send it my way! #mswl

Resharing for my #MSWL ! Please send me cozy horror (like cozy fantasy’s evil sibling) body horror, and folklore stories like Thistlefoot.

Just a mini #MSWL since spooky season is in full swing: I would LOVE to see more horror in my inbox! The weirder, the better! I especially enjoy horror that offers a conscious exploration of cultural issues or as a window to identity. Slasher for slasher's sake isn't quite for me, but otherwise HMU!

"Send me fungi horror or horror that’s very cerebral, gets under your skin—where something is very wrong, but you just can’t put your finger on it…"
Marina Green #MSWL

#IWTVNYCC , Halloween, the vibe of October... It's all got me in an angsty mood.

Starting today until the end of October I'll have my QM open to STRICTLY paranormal romance and horror romance. All spice, no spice, or a little spice (as a treat).

#mswl I'd love to see some more horror novellas and story collections in my inbox!

For #agents , taking my annual submission reminder from X to bsky to shout out the top of my #mswl is adult horror, especially would love to see more diverse voices, body horror, psychological, camp/humor, novella, story collection, and more. If it sits firmly in horror, I would love to see it!
