I asked Wharton students what they thought the average American worker makes per year and 25% of them thought it was over six figures. One of them thought it was $800k. Really not sure what to make of this (The real number is $45k)#MSWL crossover Non-Fiction re: Financial Literacy & for youngish people. We can call it EARNIN' & BURNIN' and I'm only sort of half kidding here...
I'm so keen to find some fantastic new stories and authors to work with to kick off 2022 in style! Here is my wishlist - I'd love to see your books 📚✍️madeleinemilburn.co.uk/looking-for/ol… #MSWL #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity

I’ve opened to picture books. I’ve missed my PB community. (Go easy on me.)
I’ll be prioritizing authors and/or illustrators from marginalized communities, books with side-splitting humor, and fascinating nonfiction (that’s not a bio).

#MSWL Who must I sell my soul to for a fantasy retelling of A ROOM WITH A VIEW? The manners, the beauty, the romance. The whole book (and movie) feels like you've walked straight into an impressionist painting, and I want that but, like, with magic.

In YA I'm hoping to find:
🌱#OwnVoices folklore-inspired fantasies with lush, immersive aesthetics and series potential
🌱Heroines that are equal parts gentle and resilient
🌱#DarkAcademia fantasies with morally ambiguous, sharply intelligent protagonists
🌱Pirates ☠️
