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!

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.

I want to read a YA contemporary novel that dives deep into teenage bisexual angst. Something like The Last True Poets of the Sea, or Don't Let It Break Your Heart (though now that I think of it, I'm not sure if any of those characters are bi... that's the vibe, though).

I'd love to read some YA or adult horror stories from indigenous voices, and more broadly, horror stories that use a speculative lens to examine topics of racial identity.

Bonus points for YA rom-coms:
-butch love interest
-autistic protagonists
-former athletes rediscovering their identity after an injury or health crisis that ends their career within the sport
-protagonist thinks they're nemeses and love interest thinks they've been flirting for years

I haven't received as many YA rom-coms as I'd like yet. I want stories that are heavy on the com, and have subplots with a lot of depth that inform the development of the rom. #mswl

I'm on the hunt for an exciting anti-colonialist YA or adult fantasy. Something along the lines of Skin of the Sea, So Let Them Burn, or Babel. #mswl

I think the new YA dystopian i want to see definitely involves capitalism #mswl

Stay tuned for my Fall 2026 #MSWL ! I mean, honestly, it’ll mainly call for blood, guts, lust, and queers but I’ll figure out a way to show I have well-round rounded tastes 😌
