Hi #amquerying friends
While I am open to all speculative fiction, I'm really looking to add more ya & mg horror/thriller/mystery authors to the list 🕷 #MSWL

I would love to see more thrillers, mysteries, and horror in my inbox! #mswl

💀 Atmospheric gothic horror with a cultural connection
💀 If it could be an A24 movie, I want to read it
💀 I like my horror with a side of societal commentary
💀 Confronting fear that develops our main character
💀 I like slow-burn surprise horror as much as an action-packed page-turner

I'm looking for more adult #horror and #mystery in my inbox. Let's break it down! 🧵 #mswl

I've recieved almost 90 queries in 24 hours and I've only made a handful of requests, but the ones I have requested have all been voice-driven with strong opening pages. I do love how much feminist horror, and fantasy I'm getting from marginalized identities. Keep those coming!

What I'm seeing that I love in my query inbox rn: queries with CLEAR stakes, opening pages/lines that grab my attention immediatley, comp titles that make sense and don't feel like they are just put in there, and lots of genre blending (especially with horror/fantasy).

Adult Fiction- writing style preferences vary from literary/more prose driven, to voicey and fast paced. However, I'm not a good fit for contemporary and lean heavily towards speculative, witchy, horror, SFF/F. I'm getting alot of LGBTQIA contemporary romances which I love as a reader, but don't rep.

I love all types and age ranges of horror, but I don’t get a lot of these submissions in YA! I’d love to see more of them.

-horror with social commentary as opposed to being just highly commercial. horror with romance. Diverse horror. This is in YA and Adult. #MSWL

Just a reminder, while I am open to all speculative fiction, I'm really looking to add more horror/thriller/mystery authors to the list 🕷 #MSWL

Query opening update and #MSWL ✨

- I adore horror, both supernatural and firmly stuck in reality. Especially if it’s a combo of horror and romance!

for romance in general, i love a genre blending moment, so send me your horroromance, mystery romance, etc

i tend to like my main characters & storylines with a bit of bite/kick, and i probably wouldn't be the best fit for things that are on the sweeter/wholesome side lol #mswl

instead, i'd love to see speculative YA set in our world, particularly stories that are or play with horror, and fabulist fiction. some books in those spaces that i've enjoyed recently are: DELICIOUS MONSTERS by liselle sambury and HOME IS NOT A COUNTRY by safia elhillo

Happy to announce I’m reopened to queries! Check my #MSWL for what’s on my priority list but sneak peak: give me lots of romcom, steamy romance, psych thrillers, eerie horror, soft to medium fantasy, dark academia & space! 🫶🏻
