👀#MSWL
#PB #CB #MG #YA

I’ve answered all queries so I’m doing a soft re-open, narrowing down my #MSWL to focus on areas I didn’t receive many queries when I initially opened. I’d 🩷 to see your chapter books, MG: contemporary, MG: nonfiction, MG: novel in verse, YA: contemporary, & YA: novel in verse

I'd also like grounded fantasy or magical realism, sci fi, dystopian, paranormal, and select romance. Additionally, I'm seeking contemporary, coming-of-age stories with characters from low-income families and historical fiction featuring historically underrepresented identities.

YOUNG ADULT #YA
Vibrant and bold young adult novels with exceptional pacing and a distinct voice. My priorities in this space are horror (bonus points if rooted in folk lore) and mystery/thriller stories with a BIPOC main character.

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

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! 😉
