I love a good noir voice, and am always on the lookout for speculative takes on mystery romance (Twin Peaks meets The Big Sleep). If I'm not reading romance I'm reading horror and weird fiction: some recent faves include We Love You, Bunny, The Starving Saints, and The Salt Grows Heavy.

I'm acquiring middle grade and young adult fiction for Peachtree and Peachtree Teen! Especially looking for horror, mystery/thrillers, grounded speculative fiction, contemporary, and romance. Authors and agents, check out my #mswl 📖

I'd like to see quirky horror and more serious horror. Think social commentary rather than slasher. Horror with romance--though everyone is looking for that. Feminist horror. Folk lore horror. #MSWL

Check out my #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/si..., and submission guidelines here: inkwellmanagement.com/contact/! no ai stuff pls.

First #MSWL : I have been obsessed with movies like HELL HOUSE LLC and NOROI: THE CURSE for so long now. I’d love a horror novel that feels close to those, along the lines of RULES FOR VANISHING or SKELETON CREEK, whether kid lit or adult.

I'm opening to queries on Monday and will be posting some #MSWL thoughts today. Check my website for full guidelines but I'm open to adult fantasy, adult science fiction, adult horror, adult mystery/suspense, and young adult horror. I'm not looking for MG, most YA, or romantasy at this time.

✨I'M OPEN TO GRAPHIC NOVELS✨
Here is a visual #mswl for what I'd love to see in my inbox 👀

"Send me real-world horror that is truly scary!"

I'm open to middle grade queries!
#MSWL

Hi agents, I’m on the hunt for high-concept layered YA & MG novels! #MSWL

For YA: romantic fantasy; dark academia; mystery/thrillers like We Were Liars or Firekeeper’s Daughter; thought-provoking horror or gothic; romantic coming of age like Aristotle & Dante & Last Night at the Telegraph Club 1/3

"I'm on the lookout for Gothic horror and horror/romances that are fresh, unnerving, and get under my skin."

"Send me fungi horror or horror that’s very cerebral, gets under your skin—where something is very wrong, but you just can’t put your finger on it…"

Now reopened to queries! Updated my #mswl with everything I’m looking for but the pic shows my number 1 type of story/genre. This does not exclude the rest of my MSWL tho! #writingcommunity
#anquerying

In adult fiction I'm looking for...speculative horror/thriller, contemporary romance, philosophical sci-fi, fantasy with cozy magical realism, identity driven book club fiction #mswl

All I want right now is a Horror, Thriller, a Spec novel (YA or Adult) with time loops, parallel universes, or alternate realities #mswl Preferably dark and queer.

Think Oxenfree (video game), and Dark (Netflix, German).

I want it baaad.

"I am seeking horror in the vein of an A24 film."

Adult genre fiction, especially horror (send all your horror!!!), mystery/thriller, and romance. Selectively happy to consider sci-fi and fantasy.

And as many know I’ve spent a long time in children’s, and I’m still considering all children’s titles for Zando. Many more…

Hello 2026! As we get closer to the new year—and my query inbox reopening—it’s time for me to update what I’m looking for. I saw a lot of fabulous projects in 2025 (but more on that later), and I’m excited about what I might find in 2026. #mswl

"In adult fiction, I'm seeking horrors about religious deconstruction and cults."
