🌟 I am officially reopening to queries! 🌟

As always, I'm looking for something to surprise and delight me with a great hook and a compelling voice, but here's a 🧵 with some wish list items.

Starting with horror. Maybe about a doll? (Me, out to dinner last last night.) 1/?

Happy Halloween, I am on my knees begging for more cozy witch, eldritch horror, and everything in between in my querymanager 🙏 🎃 💀 🕷️ 💨 #amquerying #mswl

Aaaaand my #MSWL is here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/trinica-sampson-vera/ Looking forward to reading your amazing queries! 💞

#MSWL quirky horror in/around the ocean—but also, anywhere else.

Maybe it's just October, but my #MSWL is gothic horror comics.

I want Emily Carroll/ Crimson Peak vibes. I'm talking those very intentionally limited color palettes blended with the psychological horror that keeps me up for days. And candelabras.

I love romantasy, but I’d also be curious to see romance-forward stories in other SFFH genres. Dystopian? Speculative/SF? And maybe most challenging of all….Horror? #mswl

I'm on QueryManager now! 🥰 QueryManager.com/TrinicaSampsonaSampsonVera

#amquerying authors: send me your MG, YA, and adult! I'm a sucker for anything speculative (particularly fantasy, romantasy, and horror) and am especially interested in stories featuring queer/BIPOC rep.

Spent some time searching for alligators at the nature preserve today. Thinking this would be a great addition to my horror #MSWL

FICTION: Adult, YA, some Upper MG

1. My main jam is thrillers and sub-genres. Domestic suspense, psychological thrillers, gothic and supernatural thrillers/horror, etc. I love fast-paced thrillers with high tension and high stakes. Ghosts & haunted houses are a huge draw for me.

"Send me contemporary fiction that gets a little weird, like the virgin birth of SMALL PLEASURES, the animal illness of SHARK HEART, and the eerie horror of OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA."

i've been in the mood for horror! camp slashers, supporting girl wrongs, ghost stories, and everything in between

Hitting post on this one has me holding my breath! Here is my official #MSWL Please let me know if you have any questions. I am open to queries this Friday. :) #amquerying #writingcommunity manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/amy-nielsen/

Happy Oct! I just updated my queryamy.com Querytracker page to accept fiction! I am looking for horror, paranormal, fantasy, historical, thriller, adventure, and a few other tidbits. Check out my page for genres and I look forward to reading your stuff! #MSWL

Just saw It Lives Inside and I’m loving the BIPOC spooky horror with cultural significance! Anyone have anything for me? Adult preferred, YA and MG also acceptable. DM me. #MSWL

dying to see some subglacial lake horror in my inbox. I mean come on, Lake Vostok is a lake under Antarctica and it's been hidden for millions of years? that's nightmare fuel. what's living down there? #MSWL

As far as continued #MSWL , I’d love to see:
• anything with Studio Ghibli vibes in the MG vein
• new adult fantasy with witchy vibes similar to The Craft
• Horror (paranormal, psychological)

"I want Gothic horror, space horror, folk horror, psychological horror, supernatural horror, slasher horror – scare me!"

Fairytale but make it horror! Full disclosure I am a bit of a horror wimp but I do love books that scare me so long as there is a crumb of hope for me to cling to. Even if you crush that hope at the end. 😰😰#MSWL
