In addition, I'm looking for adult genre fiction, ranging from romance, mystery/thriller, and selectively sci-fi and fantasy. #Agents send me the things that blur genre too. #mswl
For #agents, taking my annual submission reminder from X to bsky to shout out the top of my #mswl is adult horror, especially would love to see more diverse voices, body horror, psychological, camp/humor, novella, story collection, and more. If it sits firmly in horror, I would love to see it!

MARIPOSA is a queer eco horror novella that has:
🐛Gay enthomology
🦋A slimy, gooey, icky insect discovery
🐛Tragedy that spirals protag into desperate mad science
🦋Vengeance
🐛Loving mexican familia
🦋A VERY unusual hole

A collage with images of sweaty boys almost kissing, a human/bird monster, and a cowboy pulling a horse under an intensely cloudy sky. There are also the words “A love like that made me someone new. Not even because I chose to change, I had no choice in the matter; the feeling swept me up and molded me into someone I didn’t recognize before I could look down and understand just what I had gotten myself into.”
SUMMER SONS x CAMP DAMASCUS
BLESSED BE THE FLESH is an adult horror romance about an amnesiac cult escapee and the lonely trucker who picks him off the side of the highway. Remembering his past may destroy him, but what he's forgotten will destroy the world.

I've been sitting on this for a while. I'm so excited to bring you guys my little magical sapphic love story between two Black girls with the backdrop of New Orleans. Thanks so much to @shariwrites.bsky.social and @tjohler.bsky.social for this opportunity.
Finally taking a vacation to attend Overlook Film Festival this week and can't wait for all the horror and genre movies!! Wish I could see them all!

Isolated thrillers or anything that comps to SADIE, GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER, VERA WONG, NO EXIT. THE WRITING RETREAT
I'd love to queer up the commercial horror and thriller space even more! Agents, let's talk!
Queer and BIPOC romances! Desperate for more representation in my inbox. I'd love: #mswl
-contemporary with a speculative twist.
-Romances that feel like Talia Hibbert, Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry. Think delightful banter, big feels
-Trans femme voices (all genres)!
Monster F**er romances...
In terms of horror I've enjoyed recently THE NIGHT GUEST, REST STOP, SO THIRSTY, anything Gretchen Felker-Martin, NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT.
Currently reading: NESTLINGS and re-reading SHE IS A HAUNTING.
Still building on here, but #agents I'm excited to highlight a few #mswl I'd love to see in my inbox. I'm open to children's (esp YA) and adult submissions, so assume the below refers to either!
-Horror! I want all of it, but would especially love a hook-y slasher, psychological and body horror.
