I am so excited to be opening to queries again! I will be open beginning tomorrow, June 3-June 10. #amquerying #writers , my #MSWL remains much the same but this month I am especially on the hunt for #YA and #mg genre fiction from diverse perspectives.

Hopefully this will ✂️ wait times while also allowing me to give each query the focus they deserve. I figure it’s worth a try. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So what am I looking for? Primarily #mg and #ya and #illustrators . (3/4)

I am so excited to let #amquerying #kidlit writers and illustrators know that I am FINALLY reopening to queries on Friday, Sept 1! AND I am trying something new! I am going to try opening for queries the first 7 days of each month only. Why? 🧵(1/4)

--Always and forever looking for a heist or a fantastic twisty plot with high stakes, great cast, and a surprise ending that feels wonderfully satisfying.
Literary Agent
--A Rom-Com+. A great romance with high quality writing and a meaningful B-plot, like Joya Goffney's EXCUSE ME WHILE I UGLY CRY. (or the romance could be the B plot)
--Sweeping, cinematic adventures with a fun romance

My #mg Heart Book is a book like Gemeinhart's THE MIDNIGHT CHILDREN--fantastic writing, high stakes, dark and creepy yet funny and joyful (all the feels), with character's I want to root for and know.
Literary Agent
-- Action-packed adventure works with series potential
-- A younger school-based story, think Andrew Clements' work
--A story dealing with first crushes and heart breaks
--Stories featuring good kids making bad choices and taking accountability for their actions

It's #MSWL day at @TheTobiasAgency! When I reopen to queries, shortly, here are some things I will be looking for: in #MG, I'm still on the hunt for an atmospheric ghost story with universal character themes. Think DOLL BONES or Linda Urban's ALMOST THERE AND ALMOST NOT

I'm looking for all fiction in mg and ya, plus adult SFF (from the lightest touch to high) and romance. Especially looking for queer and disabled representation. Full details in link in bio. Tagging @KellyDHouse to go next in this @TheTobiasAgency #mswl day! twitter.com/Jacqui_Lipton/…Hiya! It’s #mswl day @TheTobiasAgency! I rep #kidlit, PB-YA, F and NF. Full wishlist can be found via the link in my bio, but today I am craving laugh-out-loud funny MG and YA, any genre, just make me laugh! Bonus if the book can also make me tear up. Tagging @SoCalledYALife!
