5. Horror (adult or YA)! Just getting my feet wet, but would love more feminist lens/ feminist horror a la Maeve Fly by CJ Leede or Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder. Not super into gore, more into social commentary, voice is paramount--take me on a journey through the MC's mind! #MSWL

Your 'weird' or literary-leaning YA books may be for me. I'm interested in younger YA/teen as a category and would especially like to see contemporary, emotional novels (think John Green) and horror for readers aged 13+.

For a YA/crossover readership (my initial focus), I'd particularly love to see original, immersive speculative and fantasy novels (especially if inspired by an unusual setting or underrepresented history, mythology or culture), horror, dystopian, romance and thrillers.

Here's Aashna's #mswl ! She's looking for authors and illustrators in a wide range of genres and categories!

Later than planned but I am OPEN to submissions again. 🥳Cleared my edits, cleared my submissions, cleared the decks (sort of) and excited to see ALL the epic fantasy, science fiction and horror...tho, not a big fan of romanatsy (sorry!). My #MSWL is here:

Forgot to post here too! I have a small handful of subs left in my inbox to read through and I just know this is going to be SO difficult. But, in other news, I’ve decided to open to queries! 🎉 send me all your horror, romance, MG, & more 🩷
querytracker.net/query/3570

Lastly, I want to thank everyone who has sent me their sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and other genres not called out here. They are and will always be a core part of my list, and I'm so grateful to see them in my inbox on a daily basis. 💛

- New Adult/Adult horror based on folklore!! Especially non-Western

Voice-driven middle grade with a captivating setting and quirky, lovable characters. In this space, I am open to horror, fantasy, magical realism, mystery, sci fi, historical, paranormal, adventure, contemporary, and nonfiction.

Character-driven stories with a strong, commercial hook and series potential. I am looking for fantasy, magical realism, mystery, contemporary, nonfiction, light horror, paranormal, and adventure tales here.
