I'm open to vampires! You've just got to give me something different, unique, with a wonderful plot or setting. Still thinking there's so much we can do with New Orleans POC vamps or vamps in island regions.
Also would love vamps with the humor of What We Do In The Shadows #MSWL

#mswl - I would love a fresh take on YA paranormal: vampires or werewolves like we've never seen them before, or a sprawling ghost story. Something that feels both grounded and also epic in terms of it scope and stakes.

Supernatural things I like:
-WITCHES!
-places that have their own life
-non-traditional vampires
-monsters from less well-known folklore
-Baba Yaga's chicken foot house

Southern gothic has been claimed so much by white writers when some of my favorite southern gothic literature is by black authors so would love to see the submissions I get really reflect the diversity of the south and of vampires, haha. #mswl

I want to read a vampire book set 100 years after one of them turned for true love as a teen, but now they are fully sick of each other’s shit. He slurps his dinner and she won’t stop leaving her kills in the foyer and they have sincere regrets over this immortal life.Literary Agent
Patrice Caldwell @whimsicallyours
Some of the first vampire myths and folktales actually come from non-white / western cultures so ☺️🧛🏾♀️ twitter.com/elleonwords/st…Speaking of which this would make a super fascinating book like reading vampirism myths and folktales around the world and studying vampires x race relations so someone should write it and send to me cause I so see the potential #mswl. My list is gonna be so weird and I’m ready

There's always something so fun about genre novels that explore the regular people who live alongside the supernatural. Their frustrations.IE: Patrick Ness' brilliant The Rest Of Us Just Live Here.
Like, there's a familiar in What We Do In the Shadows who is like 80+ years old, and is still saying "any day now."
Imagine a father figure in a YA novel who is a familiar, and his wildly frustrated family. Does the teen become a slayer?
Anyhow, send this to me someone. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I've been watching the TV adaptation of What We Do in the Shadows (it's brilliant), and I'm just obsessed with the world of the familiars, the humans serving the vampires.
I would DEVOUR a vampire novel from the perspective of familiar. Who is maybe tired of waiting? #MSWL

Apparently no one wants any more vampires and werewolves but like I want more. I want queer vamps/wolves, POC ones, queer POC ones, trans/non-binary ones.You're not sick of vamps/wolves, you're sick of seeing the same ones over and over again. There's a diff. 🤷🏻♀️
Want #MSWL
