YA/NA #MSWL: I am looking for a horror from a BIPOC writer that can be comp’d to The Hacienda/Mexican Gothic/She Is a Haunting/Bad Witch Burning. And YA contemporary fantasies from BIPOC writers who are also interested in writing MG.

Some #MSWL additions that I want right now… secret passageways in old houses, fully illustrated chapter books for all ages, Enola Holmes vibes, epistolary gothic horror with multiple narrators (like Dracula), fiber arts (Fiction or NF), STEM books heavy on the M.

A #MSWL update:
I’m no longer taking YA submissions. I’ll consider any YA subs that are already in my submissions folder, but will be focusing my attention solely on adult horror for Nightfire moving forward.

I’d love to see more horror in my inbox. It can be adult (or YA). Not slash and hack bloody horror, but the kind that builds psychological tension in a smart and surprising way. #MSWL

Two types of horror that I'm especially keen to see in my submissions inbox: nautical and deep sea in the vein of INTO THE DROWNING DEEP and academic horror that reminds me of THE HISTORIAN. #MSWL

A VERY specific wish list item, could be any genre (SF/F, horror, contemporary, etc.) but a novel about the Navajo Rangers from a Navajo author (perhaps something along the lines of what was featured in Unsolved Mysteries Volume 3).
