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.

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

YELLOWJACKETS YA survival horror #MSWL

If your stories have dark academia or gothic themes/settings, I want to see them. Cross genres like horror romance or dysto-mance are great. Religious horror is always fun. Fantasies from all cultures #questpit #mswl

I’m dipping into #questpit , but if I miss your pitch and you think we’d be a good fit, query me! I’m looking for horror, fantasy, and romance in YA, NA, and adult. Marginalized creators are my top priority.

If you’re in the Midwest and love kidlit, come hang out with me at the SCBWI Iowa Halloweekend Conference Oct 31–Nov 2! We’ll talk stories, characters, and maybe swap Halloween candy. 🍬 Who’s in?? (I neeeeeeeeed more YA Horror) #MSWL

Before I close to submissions in November, I want to see more horror in my inbox. It can be as scary (or as tame) as you like, for YA, NA, or Adult! #mswl #WritingCommunity
