After that: research literary agents! There's a TON of info and resources on the net, but this website will give you a starting point. Read the FAQ! illustratoragents.wordpress.com

I am not on this list but I love graphic novels and have been closing good deals for them and I want more and more and please oh please my heart my soul send them my way. #MSWL

Looking for more #mg or #ya graphic novels that blend genres with dark humor and fiery voice. #MSWL

Absolutely loved @JamiesonV’s Sketchbook in the @nytimesbooks today. “Look for slivers of light.” #MG #MSWL

This is the very heart of my #mswl btw...

KANYE WEST @kanyewest

oh by the way this is my book that I'm writing in real time. No publisher or publicist will tell me what to put where or how many pages to write. This is not a financial opportunity this is an innate need to be expressive.

To the #query writers, without whom we agents are NOTHING: my #MSWL contains #YA thrillers, eccentric and wild. Send away.

YA
Thriller

#MSWL reminder, I will jump at any #MG that comps Over The Garden Wall.

· 8 Mar 2018

Looking for weird #YA in #pitmad today...I want something surreal like FX's Atlanta, or A.S. King's 'Still Life with Tornado.' Can't really figure out what it is yourself? #Ownvoices writer? Query me. #MSWL

YA
OwnVoices

· 13 Feb 2018

#Querying? Send me your contemporary #MG, especially if it plays with structure like Jack Cheng's See You in the Cosmos. Send me your historical fantasy #YA, especially if it has a multicultural cast like Heidi Heilig's The Girl From Everywhere. #MSWL

Twisty, absurdly funny, fast-paced psychological thrillers, with #ownvoices teen POC, attacking ideas of identity, paranoia, plunder. Think 'Ripley' meets 'Get Out.' #MSWL #YA

Jordan Peele: "When I started to write this film, I set out to make a movie that would be my favorite movie that I had never seen." #GothamAwards

This is all my #MSWL forever and ever. Write what’s missing. I guarantee you, someone else is looking for it too. #YA #ownvoices

Does anything more precisely encapsulate my teenage soul than when Elliott Smith draws out that “s” in Needle in the Hay? “You oughta be proud that I’m getting good markssssss.” #MSWL

Dr. Adrienne Keene @NativeApprops

You know what’s happening this week? @IndigenousCon—Indigenous Comic Con. Where Native folks will be showcasing Native comics and heroes from our perspectives. Make *those* movies.

A Rosencrantz & Gildenstern are Dead-style vehicle for those two entomologists that only get that one scene in Silence of the Lambs

#MSWL

Kind of thrilled to be reading a #YA mss right now that's like, The Semplica-Girl Diaries, told from the SG's point-of-view. Hello #MSWL.

· 19 Oct 2017

THE HAZEL WOOD is not only pure #MSWL material for this agent, but it looks great doing it too. Thanks @the_SDB, love it already.

· 12 Oct 2017

I don't know why, but I love Westerns. Give me your weird, untold, funny, new POV #YA Western, à la True Grit or The Sisters Brothers. #MSWL
