I am not a good fit for:
- Sorry no straight romcoms at this time
- Procedurals
- Misogyny
- Anything that leans too literary
- Stories centering around police officers or military
- Gore, body horror
- Erotica
- High Fantasy
- Space operas
- Childrens fiction (MG, YA, PB)

A few things that aren't right for my current list:

Picture books. (I have too many right now.)
Illustrators. (I have too many right now.)
Novels-in-verse. (Not my editorial strength. You don't want me, I promise.)
High fantasy.

But got a great novel? please try me!

A novel grounded in our world with a dash of the speculative.

I am always hoping to find out there's magic in our world, if only we knew where to look.

8/?

A novel that makes me laugh out loud.

Or one that makes me cry.

Or better yet, both.

7/?

Contemporary #YA with a literary voice about ordinary teens dealing with life, family, relationships, friendships falling apart, sexuality, mental health, or recovery. A blend of genre and literary would be best of all.

6/?

Bad romance.

Make it so bad, it's funny.

I want to cringe (and relate only too well).

5/?

Domestic #Thriller novels with protagonists who make dreadful decisions for all the right (or wrong) reasons.

Show me inner vulnerability, and I will root for the worst villain and hope they get away with it.

Yes to crime--murder, larceny, embezzlement--but no rape. 4/?

#Horror Novels that explore personal difficulties (caring for an aging parent, feeling like an outsider, addiction, grief, etc.) via a speculative lens.

Or funny-yet-scary #Horror stories that are pure entertainment.

Gore is great. Bring on the blood! 🩸3/?

Before I forget, here's the link to query me:

Okay, on with the wish list... 2/?

🌟 I am officially reopening to queries! 🌟

As always, I'm looking for something to surprise and delight me with a great hook and a compelling voice, but here's a 🧵 with some wish list items.

Starting with horror. Maybe about a doll? (Me, out to dinner last last night.) 1/?

Just me? 👉 #PB #MSWL 😂

Happy Halloween, I am on my knees begging for more cozy witch, eldritch horror, and everything in between in my querymanager 🙏 🎃 💀 🕷️ 💨 #amquerying #mswl

"If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight."
