Mostly, I'm looking for upmarket and literary fiction in a lot of categories, including mysteries, speculative, historical and horror. If you blend some of these genres together--amazing! I also like upmarket and literary fiction that doesn't fall into a genre category. #MSWL

I'm open to elements of horror if they are psychological, suspenseful and/or humorous. But I'm definitely not one to read anything gory or slasher-ish. #mswl

—Stories that examine contemporary issues using horror/speculative elements as the vehicle (think Jordan Peele or Stephen Graham Jones)
—Sentient plants or natural settings with a sinister undertone (a la Annihilation)—bonus if it speaks to our climate crisis without being too heavy handed
3/6 #MSWL

Regardless of genre, I'm seeking inclusive, intersectional voices & gorgeous line-level writing with emotionally compelling narratives. Some of my #MSWL includes:
—Horror that dismantles the gender binary & societal norms
—Occult conspiracies
—Cozy mysteries that center BIPOC/queer characters

Happy #MSWL Day! I only accept agented submissions, but wanted to get into the fun. I'm an editor over at Chronicle Books, and I would love to find more MG novels this year—especially ones that feature queer kiddos with big feelings, are a KNIVES OUT-style mystery, or use horror as metaphor! 🏳️‍🌈🕵️😈

Highlighting some #mswl in either YA, NA or adult: horror of any variety. Looking for really unique (new twists) romantasy, fantasy from soft to epic. Also where are my sci-fi space opera writers? 🤣 In addition to my other tweets on what I want.
