#mswl in YA/NA I would LOVE something with the vibe of Crave or Wings of Blood. It can be dragons/ vampires/ fae/ werewolves/ gargoyles...anything. But it's the academia/ competition between species/ love interest vibe that I'm after.

I'm also after paranormal romance in general still.

6) 5) Urban Fantasy - our world plus magic or magic creatures (the vampire nextdoor, magical tattoos, alt. history w/ magic)

7) Magic schools, but for the parents and teachers rather than the kids (think The Incadescent or Grimmoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association)

Romance novels with a fantasy element -- give me witches in every day life, I'd also consider vampires and werewolves (as long as the romance is center stage! This is the most important part)

For #YA , I’m really on the lookout for a cozy fantasy, fantasy with immersive world building, dark academia, and would love a fresh take on vampires or the Eternal One trope.

For #MG , it’s all about the voice and high stakes adventure for me.

8/ HORROR: I'm new to this as a recovering scaredy-cat. Go easy on me with the gore and violence! But give me the psychological Lynchian vibes; unsettling, surreal, off-kilter. I'm also down for monsters & vampires with a unique hook. Paranormals like "Insidious," w/ blurred lines of reality.

#YA : again, I’m looking for high concept stories with a strong hook, cozy fantasy with a strong voice and unforgettable characters, unique or fresh take on vampires or the eternal one trope. Cryptids? I want to believe.

Looking forward to reading your work!!

YA: high stakes fantasy with atmospheric setting, a cozy fantasy that makes me laugh and gives me all the feels, a story set in a competitive subculture, and I’m always open to a fresh take on vampires or the “eternal ones” trope.

briar makes her home in a forest of which stories are told of the bloodthirsty monster/vampire who haunts the woods from river to treeline...

no human sacrifices, just a doctor who thinks creating a lil shrine and leaving blood transfer bags is a good idea. doctor/briar romance, maybe? #mswl

- fresh, different takes on monster stories (vampires!!!! pls) that explore aspects of humanity

vampires in the 90s with all the hazy, summery nostalgia that comes with the pre-digital age. vampires locked away in remote mountain ranges. vampires haunting small villages, but people haunting back. vampires!!!
