*whispers* I will finally be opening for queries after almost a year of being closed. My query inbox will be open June 1st-15th and July 1st-15th. If you’re interested in what I’m looking for, check out my new #MSWL #queryingauthors #litagent

our Senior Agent, Leah Pierre, quite a bit. Leah is into horror and magic. So, if those are your categories, please vist Ladderbird.com, and visit Leah's Query box.
For this editor, I plan to reach back out for her dream project! #MSWL

In Horror:

⚰️ Indigenous horror, unexplored folklore of all countries and people

⛴️ Closed-set horror, like a cruise ship, a locked mall, a flooded island

👹 Tightly interwoven choice and plot; characters that drive the plot; rejecting puritanical moral codes

🌽 Ethel Cain & Hozier music

In Romance:

💘 I want, most of all, to fall in love. Make me swoon like a Victorian maiden. 100/10 on the swoon scale.

🌸 Historical romance that explores secret societies, unspoken relationships

🗝️ Romance always has to have another genre for me, be that fantasy, horror, or mystery (or all three!)

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

"I'm on the lookout for Gothic horror and horror/romances that are fresh, unnerving, and get under my skin."

It’s no April fool’s joke…I’m officially reopening to queries with FinePrint’s Agency Assistant, baileyknaub.bsky.social!
We’re interested in:

Indigenous Horror / Fantasy
Speculative Thrillers
Psychological Horror

For the next 2 weeks, please submit to us via my QM form #MSWL

If you want better insight into my taste (or are looking for your next read), here are some horror books I’ve thoroughly enjoyed!

Horror of all kinds intrigues me, especially when it’s interweaved with a contemporary, fantasy, folklore, gothic, historical, horrormance, paranormal, psychological, or survival subgenre! I’m also drawn to stories that feature dread, sentient settings & descents into madness

As always, I'm excited for disabled stories!

I would be particularly thrilled to see horror projects that deconstruct the fear of psychosis/delusions and feature protags who know they experience these––and it's not the source of the horror! But I'm open to a lot.

#MSWL update! I'm widening my adult genres just a bit. I already get a ton of horror crossover queries, so I'm officially opening the form to horror! I also am VERY selectively opening up to adult romance 🙈

I’m seeking commercial fiction for YA and adult audiences, especially in the romance, fantasy, mythology, dark academia, horror, thriller, & dystopian genres.

I'd love to find more popcorn thrillers and books you'd find at Walmart or Target for my query queue! I'm also looking for some horror, but more psychological like Hidden Pictures, The Outsider, stuff by CJ Tudor, Jenniefer McMahon! #MSWL

dropping back in with a career update and a cheeky #mswl 🤪 link to query is in my bio!! #literaryagent
