I’m dipping into #questpit , but if I miss your pitch and you think we’d be a good fit, query me! I’m looking for horror, fantasy, and romance in YA, NA, and adult. Marginalized creators are my top priority.

"I want weird YA novels. Ex: WILDER GIRLS by Rory Power, THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END by Adam Silvera, and THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER by Leslye Walton."

Gently begging the ol’ query inbox for YA speculative fiction that comps to Welcome to Night Vale and/or A.S. King. #MSWL

If you’re in the Midwest and love kidlit, come hang out with me at the SCBWI Iowa Halloweekend Conference Oct 31–Nov 2! We’ll talk stories, characters, and maybe swap Halloween candy. 🍬 Who’s in?? (I neeeeeeeeed more YA Horror) #MSWL

Malicious compliance in YA or MG #MSWL

Before I close to submissions in November, I want to see more horror in my inbox. It can be as scary (or as tame) as you like, for YA, NA, or Adult! #mswl #WritingCommunity

#MSWL an epic heist story in MG, YA, or NA. If you know, you know

Writers, I’m in the mood for horror. I want all of it—cozy horror, horror romance, gothic horror, and more—across YA, new adult, and adult. Send it my way! #mswl

Does this sound like your book? Ashlee would love to see it!

it’s spooky season and I want to read some spooky queries 👻 I’m still very much on the hunt for horror and thrillers in both MG (is MG thriller a thing? it should be…) and YA! here are a few concepts really piquing my interest right now 👇🏻🎃 #mswl #amquerying

#DVpit inspired me to reopen to queries sooner than I'd planned... Starting Nov 2025, I'll be open to unsolicited queries the first week of every month! Still just YA + MG fiction... Really hungry for 🤩 debut voices... You'll be able to submit here: querytracker.net/querybeth #mswl

A few things not on my #MSWL that I'd really love to see in my inbox: anything like KPop Demon Hunters, a #YA /#NA in vein of Peaky Blinders, campy horror with 80s vibes, Addams family or Yellowjackets comps, and a narrative with the juvenile justice system

#MSWL A YA contemporary with new Deb Caletti books vibes.

#MSWL I’d really love a YA thriller/mystery in the vein of Angeline Boulley.

#MSWL A YA that encapsulates the song “Who I’d Be” from Shrek the Musical. But specifically the Rachel Zegler version.

This is your friendly reminder I open to queries TOMORROW! I'll be open to PB-YA and I can't wait to see all of your amazing projects! Here is a link to my updated #MSWL :

Looking for dragons and witchy graphic novels (kids or YA) #kidseditor #mswl #kidlit #WritingCommunity

I am now also open to Contemporary YA Romance. After fully submersing myself in The Summer I Turned Pretty (TSITP) both the series & books, I'll take a heavy dose of male yearning & emotionally aware (internalized like Conrad or external good too) male leads please. #MSWL

I'd really love to work on a YA suspense novel this year! I'm looking for stories that aren't murder mysteries, but instead follow a teenager trying to tackle an unjust system in their local community.
