Please remember, when I say something could be a comp that I don't mean exactly the same story. A comp exemplifies one or more elements, like voice, character development, pacing, tropes, writing style, etc.

MG Horror is my most favorite type of horror. Got vibes similiar to OVER THE GARDEN WALL? Yes please! Or if you can comp to any of these titles, please query me: HIDE AND SEEKER by Daka Hermon, THIS APPEARING HOUSE by Ally Malinenko, THE HOUSE THAT WHISPERS by Lin Thompson #MSWL

I love and devour everything by Simone St. James (aka crime / thrillers with a paranormal twist), so if you can comp to her even slightly, SOLD. I adore a good haunted house story with terrifying, angry ghosts. Loved MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia recently. #MSWL

Flowing into September, here's what I would LOVE to see in my inbox: HORROR!!!! It's spooky time folks, and horror is probably my favorite genre. Let's see if we can tick that genre way up, especially from POC & queer writers. Ghosts are my absolute favorite. #MSWL

Hopefully this will ✂️ wait times while also allowing me to give each query the focus they deserve. I figure it’s worth a try. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So what am I looking for? Primarily #mg and #ya and #illustrators . (3/4)
