Caroline Miranda (she/her)

Hi again! It was great to read so many well-crafted pitches today; definitely got me into the Halloween spirit! My (feline, illiterate) assistant (Boo) and I look forward to reading submissions. Might’ve missed a few things so I’ll drag the ole corpse thru the tag tmrw as well 🫀

Hi #PitDark, I'll be haunting the hashtag today--if I ♥️ your pitch, and you're interested in submitting to me, this form will be open until next Friday: QueryManager.com/cmiranda/PitDa… Thanks!💀

@BruceElgin I'm always happy to help demystify publishing however I can--could you please send me a DM here or an email to dca@doncongdon.com to discuss further? Thanks!

@rhymeswithline Thanks much for the reply! I'll definitely see you at PitDark, as my latest novel has both literal and figurative darkness. On another note, I teach screenwriting, but have lots of students who write fiction. Would you ever be up for a zoom with them about the publishing world?

@rhymeswithline Ms. Miranda, do you know when you might reopen to queries? I've got a new one. Sadly, there's no mushrooms in it, but there is a nice touch of D&D!

EPISODE THIRTEEN was a fantastic read; the enhanced audio edition was brilliant. So many #mswl /favorite elements (an epistolary puzzle, a fresh take on hauntings, and the character development is *chef kiss*). I was genuinely frightened & moved to tears, especially by the ending

THE CATS OF SILVER CRESCENT pubs on 4/30/24! A spooky #mglit novel about a girl who discovers a family of magical talking cats who need her help to survive—but every enchantment comes at a price. Pre-order: harpercollins.com/products/the-c… E-ARCs available! @NetGalley @edelweiss_squad

networking is weird but sometimes you get to hear a primary source story about margaret thatcher and boris yeltsin AND talk about the nyc stray cat population-boom within the same hour, which makes it all worth it

Hey, Peeps! 🔊 Listen up, spring peepers are putting on free frog concerts all over NYC! Every mating season, females listen to a chorus of males and pick their fave. These performances are for a limited engagement, so head out to a pond near you and listen while you can! 🐸 💚🎶

The deep sea is a haunted house: a place in which things that ought not to exist move about in the darkness. Our Wives Under the Sea, Julia Armfield

This tiny mushroom (possibly Mycena subcyanocephala) 📸 chofungi

Tell you what, boy howdy, if *I* made a mushroom show it'd be chockful o' mushrooms 24-7, every frame every moment. There'd be no sky, only mushrooms. Like a mushroom had made a mushroom show about mushrooms and mebbe an incidental coupla humans. Now *that* wld be a mushroom show

I still love #TheLastOfUs but I am not a fan of the notable lack of infected in the show! they’re 50% of the horror and they’re just…absent. I get cutting /some/ of the infected combat scenes for the adaptation but not all! where are all the clickers?? bloaters?? I wanna see em!
