What a busy busy day! I've finally had a chance to update my #MSWL on my website! Check it out: serarivers.com/mswl/ I'm so excited to be OPENING to #queries in select adult #fiction , especially subversive #horror , and #contemporary narratives that comment on social injustice.

As someone who has been watching a lot of Doctor Who lately, I would LOVE to see some space-based horror and cosmic horror in my inbox!

Also would love anything akin to Project Hail Mary and Saturn Run 🚀

#MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! Here's my recently-updated, quite specific wishlist: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ra...

& one more for good luck: I am hankering for a horror novel about the whole tradwife scene. DON'T WORRY DARLING / THE STEPFORD WIVES on the internet ..

Can't wait to get your queries!

I love thrillers with:
-unreliable narrators
-fast pacing
-revenge stories
-fresh twists on tropes
-elements of horror
-stories set in the 90s
-missing memories/time
-dark pasts
-stalking/gaslighting
-social commentary

I love standalone psychological thrillers, so please try me with yours! #MSWL

#mswl 4. YA and NA. Romance, horror, thriller, dark academia. Space academy to space opera setting/plot line. Think Beth Revis’ Across the Universe series or for academy to space opera think Vera Nazarian’s The Atlantis Grail series.

#mswl 3. Eerie, creepy horror (haunting, paranormal, locked room/house/escape scenarios, and more. Psychological horror/thriller/suspense. In YA, would love a nice ensemble cast in an escape situation, but open to everything.

To be hyper specific, I’m looking for…

Horror! Any kind truly. I want my electric bill to be astronomical because of all the scary manuscripts I’m reading.
Literary fiction of any kind with a commercial hook (meaning descriptors like “lyrical” are not doing the heavy lifting in the pitch)

Clocking in for #MSWL Day duty 🫡

I’ve updated my profile on the website (will be linking below) but the tldr of it is that I’m looking for #horror #speculative #contemporary #upmarket and #literary #fiction for #adult and #ya . For #nonfiction I want to see #jounrnalism and #culturalcriticism

some specifics:
- in any genre, i look for characters i can really root for. i'm a hardcore Fan™️ about stuff i like so being able to invest in those stakes is my top priority
- for horror, almost anything goes! it's my fav genre so don't be shy. send me the gore 😈

In fiction, I'm particularly seeking high concept thrillers and horror with propulsive commercial plots. #MSWL

Please reference stephaniewinter.ca for more information!

If it’s atmospheric fiction laced with artful elements of horror or decay, I’m interested. Read more at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ch... #MSWL lfpbooks.bsky.social

One of my dream #MSWL books is a horror novel set in a cave -- think The Descent for books. Claustrophobic, dark, encroaching madness...bonus points for historical setting, an ambiguous ending, or a queer romance subplot. Antarctica horror would be cool too I guess 💁‍♀️

#MSWL cont.

-A big splashy YA speculative and/or horror with lots of commercial appeal
-SF or science fantasy with a fresh concept that would appeal to a mainstream audience
-I’m specifically looking for the above wish list items from underrepresented voices

Happy #MSWL Day! 🎉 Here are a couple specifics I’d love to see:

-Adult horror based on intriguing historical events (e.g. The Donner Party in Alma Katsu’s THE HUNGER)
-High concept adult fiction with a speculative thread for the book club space
-Fantasy in spooky settings

I’d rather read mss that attempt difficult things and execute them pretty well than ones that attempt what’s easy and execute it flawlessly. Dream big #MSWL ! Open for submissions in May, read more about what I'm interested in at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ch... lfpbooks.bsky.social

Keeping in the theme, I'd love a horror (YA or Adult) like YELLOWJACKETS that's as much about the speculative element as the interpersonal tension

Totally random, but an MG with bird or animal characters having to perform a banishment or exorcism ritual would be a total #MSWL for me. Wind in the Willows but horror? How amazing would that be. That’s the kinda thing I wanna see for real.

Hello and a wonderful #MSWL day to you!
Big thank you to manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social
Here's my QM querytracker.net/query/AnneTi...
