I have a lot of *hard* fantasy in YA so I'm still looking for ⤵️

Adult romantasy
Young adult horror, thriller/mystery, & paranormal (I like horror that lends to the aesthetic of horror but w/ whimsy opposed to gore (Wednesday, Beetlejuice, Haunted Mansion, R.L. Stine).

We are closing to queries at @LCSLiterary on November 15, 2024.
When we re-open I will have a new #MSWL . I will be primarily seeking adult - women's , historical , commercial, book club, upmarket/literary fiction, psychological suspense, thrillers - and YA contemporary Fiction.

Tomorrow is the last day I'm open to queries until the new year. I would REALLY love to see some fem-gore horror or feminist thrillers in my inbox. #MSWL

Haven't heard the term fem-gore? This is what I mean:
theguardian.com/books/article/2024/jul/12/fem-gore-horror-fiction

TLDR: satirical novels about high society; grounded speculative fiction; sweeping family sagas; upmarket suspense & thriller; voice-driven contemporary fiction; postcolonial fiction; global stories; social & political critiques; stories exploring love, loss, grief, nature of time

Something about fall is putting me in a romantic mood. In addition to my usual list, I'm now craving Romance on my #mswl Contemporary, Historical, Thriller, Suspense, Horror--I'd love them in my inbox please! (Please remember I'm not taking Romantasy)(LGBT, POC, disabled is a +)

As a reader, I adore Karen M. McManus and Holly Jackson's novels and would love to see more YA crime & thrillers on submission. If you are writing something in this vein, please do think of me when you're ready to query🙏 #MSWL #manuscriptwishlist

As you can see from the above image, there's some changes in my MSWL. My amazing clients have mostly filled my kidlit roster, but I am starving for some adult! Especially thriller, speculative, and sci-fi. If you've got a weird little book, I want to see it! #MSWL (2/6)

I'm not participating in PitDark, because I have some exciting news! I will be opening to queries for the first week in November (1-7) to diverse own voices ONLY. Starting January 2025, I'll open the first week of every month to everyone. #MSWL (1/6)

Rewatching PANIC and still very hungry for a suspenseful, edge of your seat YA thriller so… #MSWL #WritingCommunity

3. Thrillers: Upmarket thrillers with a unique spin. Love plot twists! 4. Historical: Open to everything with a strong hook and informed by excellent research. Would love to find non-Eurocentric historical fiction.

Hey y'all, I'm not on this site much anymore, but just in case it's helpful, I'm posting my updated #MSWL here! Check out our submissions instructions to send me your brilliant work :)

Full moon vibes, spooky stories, & my inbox are officially open! Hunting for twisty thrillers, epic STEMinist hist fic, gothic romances w/ supernatural tension, &speculative fiction that keeps me guessing. Got a manuscript with heart and grit? Send it my way. #MSWL #amquerying

Tidbits on what I’m hunting: adult/YA horror; romance (sweet, dark, steam; romcoms, meet cutes, sports hero protagonists, etc.); thrillers/psych susp.; YA dark academia; adult/YA fantasy/romantasy (r’masy must be very unique); & more. Read #mswl #WritingCommmunity #amquerying

#MSWL TL;DR:

[2/3] genre-subverting psychological thrillers (cunning female perpetrators, unreliable female narrators, etc.), select coming-of-age; feminist satire/dark comedy (big fan of biting, whip-smart humor); select cozy fantasy (grounded); select historical

In adult and YA fiction, I'd love to see genre blends--particularly thriller + romance / horror + romance / horror + fantasy!
