3/6 #mswl Horror! Atmospheric/eerie. Haunted houses, escapes, monsters, zombies, rage, body horror. Some faves: The Escape Room – Megan Goldin; Maeve Fly – CJ Leede; Hidden Pictures – Jason Rekulak; The Staircase in the Woods – Chuck Wendig; What Grows in the Dark – Jaq Evans.

growing apart, first crushes, first dances, all of the ups and downs of tween-hood!

Horror in MG: give me all the horror and spooky vibes please! Anything in the vein of The Jumbies, The Otherwoods, The Clackity, Last Laugh, and so on!

As a summarized version I am craving a gorgeous lyrical horror in the vein of Don't Let the Forest In by C.G. Drews, Your Blood My Bones, anything that can be comped to Andrew Joseph White or Jamison Shea. This goes for YA - Adult! (more on MG below)

I’ll be opening to queries for the month of September for Queer Adult Horror, Thriller, Psychological Thriller, and Suspense. I use Query Manager and the link will go live on my website 9/1!

I am on the hunt for mysteries/thrillers, gothic horror, and intricate, inventive fantasy!

I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer writers.

5. Horror (adult or YA)! Just getting my feet wet, but would love more feminist lens/ feminist horror a la Maeve Fly by CJ Leede or Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder. Not super into gore, more into social commentary, voice is paramount--take me on a journey through the MC's mind! #MSWL

Your 'weird' or literary-leaning YA books may be for me. I'm interested in younger YA/teen as a category and would especially like to see contemporary, emotional novels (think John Green) and horror for readers aged 13+.

For a YA/crossover readership (my initial focus), I'd particularly love to see original, immersive speculative and fantasy novels (especially if inspired by an unusual setting or underrepresented history, mythology or culture), horror, dystopian, romance and thrillers.
