PICTURE BOOKS #PB
Picture books with multiple, distinct hooks, clear/concise writing, and original concepts. I am open to working with both authors and author-illustrators in this space.

As an immigrant, I am passionate about championing marginalized creators and uplifting historically underrepresented voices. This will be a huge driving force for my list. Alright, let's get into the specific age categories!

GENERAL
I gravitate toward high-concept, commercial fiction with bold storytelling, standout pacing, and a distinct voice. I also have a soft spot for speculative stories, mysteries, and anything delightfully weird.

Hi, #WritingCommunity ! I'm Ashlee, a new agent at Howland Literary, who is starting to build a #KidLit focused list (PB-YA). Here is my quintessential #MSWL 🧵with what I hope to find!

May is Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) Awareness Month and I'd love to find something in the #YA space that honors indigenous communities and brings awareness to this like Looking for Smoke by K. A. Cobell! #MSWL

psst . . . I'M OPENING TO QUERIES ON 5/27✨
#MSWL : www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/as...

While I am not open to queries just yet, I have a #MSWL profile you can check out for a preview on what I'll be looking for in the future! 😉
