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

Excited to finally share my 2026 MSWL which has expanded into Middle Grade, Adult/YA genres for Upmarket Literary Fiction, Romance, Soft Sci-fi, and more. 🫶🤍✨ #MSWL

I also love horror that makes you think, or has surprising emotional depth, in addition to the spookiness. And I have yet to find a really delicious gothic horror. #MSWL

For clarity, I only represent age categories MG and up. For MG & YA I’m open to all genres fiction and nonfiction. On the adult side I only work on genre-adjacent or genre-lite fiction (no straight contemporary or anything that wades too deeply into the genre space). #MSWL

Also open to light fantasy and horror if it’s under 208 pages! And fast-paced! With compelling stakes!

Anything Swiftie-coded—I love when music is behind the inspiration

High concept stories that are just shy of bonkers

CENTER SQUARE: JOY

Gothics with light horror elements

Mysteries that keep me guessing until the end #mswl 4/6

#Horror #MSWL Also, where’s all the holiday horror at? Let’s grow that out there. I really, really want a campy Christmas Hallmark meets Horror. Or a Rom Com Horror. Something like Fresh (2022 film) where it’s all going right until it goes wrong.

Something specific I've been looking for is an adult or YA sci fi horror. I want to be terrified in space! Make me scared of the black empty void and what may stare back in the far reaches. #mswl

#MSWL
Not open right now, but I hope to be by the end of spring. What I really want to see is #ADULT #crossgenre stories. #Scifi romance, horror romance, humorous #litRPG w/a horror element. Weird, quirky, spicy is okay, just no abuse, rape, or animal death.

#Horror #MSWL GIVE ME YOUR WEIRD SH*T! Things that experiment with the form (choose your own adventure), use images (Strange Houses), or just do weird, wild things (House of Leaves).
