I feel like my picture book “brand” as an editor is on fully evident based on the titles of my 2026 books alone: Broccoli Is Trying to Kill Me, I Told a Little Lie, and If My Sister Were a Worm… #cheekyhumor #mswl

Had the privilege of reading SO many great books this year, I thought I'd put together a visual #mswl
These titles are all amazing and I'd love to see something similar!
*forever haunted by the books I didn't get to add to this list*

Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
Lower MG with the heart and humor of Ivy + Bean or a lower MG version of Eloise. Illustrations in projects like these are welcome!!!
Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
A fun, pace-y (maybe humorous) mystery series for MG or YA à la A STUDY IN CHARLOTTE, TROUBLE IS A FRIEND OF MINE, THE FOURTH STALL, Stuart Gibbs’ SPACE CASE or FunJungle books, or an updated Nancy Drew or Trixie Belden (especially Trixie Belden!).
Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
Settings outside the U.S. tied to big idea, high concept premises with sticky hooks.
Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
High concept, upmarket work that explores family/culture/history à la THE JOY LUCK CLUB.
Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
Stories that involve managing fame/fortune as an emerging adult (could be ensemble cast as in the protagonist is a member of an idol group) & could involve pace-y elements of suspense/romance. Really looking for high concept, not too introspective stuff.
Literary Agent
Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
High concept, fun New Adult books that can start to branch out the emerging category with material that has tones comparable to Ally Carter, Stephanie Tromly, Jenny Han but with storylines for a New Adult audience.
Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
Highly commercial MG books that play with format and have robust storylines: think DIARY OF A WIMPY KID or TAPPER TWINS.
Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
Shorter books in the MG space (i.e., 250 pages or less): highly commercial, fun, tightly plotted and accessible to reluctant readers w/high concept premises and standout protagonists, especially w/tones like Stuart Gibbs’, Varian Johnson’s, or Geoff Rodkey’s.
Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
I’d love a snappy, highly commercial YA series with a sticky hook and a memorable/endearing main character; probably contemporary (any subgenre), comparable to what GALLAGHER GIRLS was but with an unrelated premise.
Literary Agent
General #MSWL 3:
Very commercial books for New Adult and Adult Gen-Z and Millennial audiences that feature sticky hooks and feel like they’re doing something fun, new, and BIGGER with their genre.
