In the spirit of Halloween, I'd love to get more horror submissions! But I can't stress how important it is to have the overall tone and voice of your manuscript stay creepy throughout the entire story--from start to finish. #MSWL #YA #MG

Okay I started watching Haunting of Hill House yesterday and can I just??? #MSWL??????
If y’all are going to send me horror THAT IS THE NEW STANDARD. Scary shit is SO MUCH more terrifying when it’s PERSONAL to the characters.
So—GIVE ME PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR

Since we're in October, it's time for me to request a novel like Scream or I Know What You Did Last Summer. Gimme some classic 90s teen horror movies, please! #MSWL

I saw Psycho on the big screen tonight and it makes me think 1: I want more human horror and 2: I also want unhealthy mother son relationship books. Demons I get. People are crazy. #MSWL #WishlistWednesday

#MSWL horror please! Think the creepy, shadowy, social horrors. Fav's include THE WINTER PEOPLE or THE LONEY or ROSEMARY'S BABY or THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE or A HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS and lots of Mr. King, of course. But not so much the slasher fic kind.

#MSWL Since it's October, I would love something gothic and creepy, a dark fantasy, or a historical in #YA or #A. Or something like Into the Drowning Deep. Loved that anticipation of waiting to discover the truth followed by horror.

Good morning! It's #MSWL day!Agents + editors will be tweeting what they wish they had in their inboxes.
Writers can take note of which agents may be a good fit, and then submit work traditionally.
