Our house policy: We only review digital queries and sample material. No physical submissions, please. Thank you for thinking of us! Who should I contact? Jhanteigh Kupihea (Editorial Director)  loves exceptionally written, high-concept adult fiction and pop-culture-driven non-fiction. If your mystery/thriller has a true-crime or feminist twist to it, send it to her! She loves horror—the more atmospheric and psychological, the better. (Not a fan of violent and gory.)
