Horror #mswl

Send me your horror projects, please and thank you! #mswl

In general, I want commercial #fiction for MG, YA, and adult: contemporary, mystery, thriller, suspense, horror

I'd love to see in my queries:

- Atmospheric, woodsy, lush horror like THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING (YA, A)
- Domestic/psychological thrillers by BIPOC authors (A)
- Scavenger hunts (MG, YA, A)
- Eerie spec fic in isolated settings (CATHERINE HOUSE, THE WATER CURE)

#MSWL

Hello, yes, agents if you rep #horror with messy queer characters please send me those manuscripts #mswl

#MSWL but make it a book.

*waves to all of the new followers from #DVCon*

Some handy things about me:

- I acquire sci-fi🚀, fantasy 🦄, & horror👻 for adult and YA at @serialboxpub
- #MSWL Profile manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/dian…
- My first love is books📚, my second is Earl Grey 🫖

Once again, I am opening my heart to horror, my first true love. Please give me psychological and creepy, gothic, thrillery, moody and atmospheric, dark. Think Lovecraft Country and Crimson Peak. Get my heart racing, make me hesitant to turn the page. But no gore. #MSWL

Really happy to see my MIDDLE GRADE HORROR list growing with @saskwriter and @Lora013's debuts. I'm always looking for horror across the board from MG to YA to Adult, though not of the gross-out variety, but do give me eerie, tension-filled, scary with heart! #MSWL #MG #horror

Authors, my submission inbox is open and my #MSWL is updated! Take a look and if I sound like a fit, send me your query: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/chel… #amwriting #amquerying

I'd really love a ghostly horror story that is one part all those sea shanties we can't stop listening to, one part The Lighthouse, and a dash of The Terror. Even better if it's BIPOC and LGBTQIA+. #MSWL

In YA, I’d love to find a big epic love story that’s contemporary and someone writing horror for this age group too. I loved A Good Girls Guide to Murder and would be keen to see anything akin to that.

In fiction I’d love to see high concept love stories for both commercial and reading group/literary crossover readers. I’m keen to see historical fiction and gothic horror - think Stacey Halls, Laura Purcell and Bridget Collins.

I open to queries on MONDAY! Here is my current #MSWL.
Genres:
Adult scifi, fantasy, horror (pref w/speculative elements)
YA Contemporary, scifi, fantasy
I am temporarily CLOSED to adult romance, and PB&MG.

The details (thread):

Karen McManus is the current YA mystery gold standard, and I’d love a comp to any of her titles. But I’d also love a creepier THERE’S SOMEONE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE; a manuscript as twisty as DANGEROUS GIRLS; or a straight-up horror, like WILDER GIRLS. Give me tension and action!

Any horror that makes me yell, “Holy sheets!” because I did NOT see the twists coming. #mswl

Here's my current #MSWL:

In MG fiction: horror, contemporary, fantasy, sci-fi, action/adventure, mystery, and humor.

In children’s fiction: picture books (non-rhyming preferred).

Always looking for own voices, diversity, and LGBTQ+!!!

Interested in some horror right now. Think eerie horror or psychological horror rather than monster. Although I might consider certain monsters too, but less likely.😊
