I have started calling picture books that are fun and entertaining and a bit commercial with a subtle message or theme as "pickles". They're not really vegetables, but they are made out of cucumbers. Kids don't think of them as vegetables (but again, cucumbers). That's the PB I want #MSWL

I am seeing way too much princess fantasy in my queries. While I do love a royal fantasy, I think we are seeing market oversaturation and I would love to see more fantasy that isn't just concerned with palace intrigue, princesses getting their stabby on, and royal machinations.What i would love to see more of in fantasy: blending genres, spies, military academies (weirdly a sucker for this); cozy fantasy, romantasy that is not portal fantasy. #MSWL
