As always, I’d love to see horror (and every other genre!) from marginalized perspectives. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and disabled creators, please send me your stories! #mswl

Writers, I’m in the mood for horror. I want all of it—cozy horror, horror romance, gothic horror, and more—across YA, new adult, and adult. Send it my way! #mswl

Do any writers have a cozy horror that just screams strange? 👀👀

Resharing for my #MSWL ! Please send me cozy horror (like cozy fantasy’s evil sibling) body horror, and folklore stories like Thistlefoot.

Just a mini #MSWL since spooky season is in full swing: I would LOVE to see more horror in my inbox! The weirder, the better! I especially enjoy horror that offers a conscious exploration of cultural issues or as a window to identity. Slasher for slasher's sake isn't quite for me, but otherwise HMU!

#IWTVNYCC , Halloween, the vibe of October... It's all got me in an angsty mood.

Starting today until the end of October I'll have my QM open to STRICTLY paranormal romance and horror romance. All spice, no spice, or a little spice (as a treat).

For #agents , taking my annual submission reminder from X to bsky to shout out the top of my #mswl is adult horror, especially would love to see more diverse voices, body horror, psychological, camp/humor, novella, story collection, and more. If it sits firmly in horror, I would love to see it!

All the horror. Particularly humor & sci fi

Creatures features from cultures not often explored (would love an indigenous author focusing on lore from their legends)

Vibes: Mike Flanagan, A24 films, Annabelle, Oculus, Get Out, Hide & Seek, The Ritual, Talk to Me

A few things not on my #MSWL that I'd really love to see in my inbox: anything like KPop Demon Hunters, a #YA /#NA in vein of Peaky Blinders, campy horror with 80s vibes, Addams family or Yellowjackets comps, and a narrative with the juvenile justice system

With only a few months left in the year, I thought it was time to update my #MSWL !

I'm not closing to any genres, but I'm eager to acquire more romance and genre fiction. It's where I've been drawn in my personal reading, and I would love my agent list to reflect those books that have drawn me in!

Annual reminder to literary agents that I’m on the hunt for more adult horror projects.

I’d especially love #mswl to find stories steeped in rage; unexpected settings; new voices or voices established in horror. I’m hungry for it all!

I'd love to read some YA or adult horror stories from indigenous voices, and more broadly, horror stories that use a speculative lens to examine topics of racial identity.
