I would loooove to work on something similar to THE HAUNTED LAKE, which is a really unique, spooky, folktale-feeling picture book. (Except I'd prefer something with a shorter length.) Send those spooky stories my way! #MSWL

I loved THE TRUTH PROJECT by @DanteMedema and would looooove to receive more submissions like this, that are a mix of verse, emails, texts, etc. #MSWL

PEARL by Molly Ide. A very special tale.MERMAID AND ME by Soosh. For every little girl who dreamed of having a mermaid best friend! pic.twitter.com/1WvAi2uW3q
I’m so excited to shepherd more mermaid books into the world! It delights me that writers know I love mermaids, because it means a lot of mermaid projects swim into my inbox, which is the best. Keep 'em coming. ✨🧜🏾♀️💜

I'm forever on the hunt for more funny picture books. Please send me your humor! I'm open to all types: loud, zany, quirky, strange, dry, subversive, potty, punny. Whatever you got, send it my way! #MSWL

I'm getting a lot of queries for PBs about COVID-19. These probably aren't going to be the right fit for me. I'd be more interested in a book like THE BREAKING NEWS by @sarahlynnereul, which takes a broader approach to scary world events + will have a long shelf life. #MSWL

So what if we took that Sarah Dessen/Jenny Han fluffy cheerful aesthetic and made the characters Black and just had a whole genre that was joyful Black kids? Black teen beach reads. Something for the summer, something to dance to.This is a major #MSWL vibe.

Atlas Obscura @atlasobscura
This colony of glowworms—one of the largest in all of New South Wales—illuminates the stale, inky air like a constellation of blue-green stars. trib.al/4q6NtKAJust want to reiterate that I've always wanted to work on a glowworm picture book! I think it would be so visually dazzling. #MSWL

I’m still on the hunt for an atmospheric graphic novel that centers around a place, the way PUMPKINHEADS centers around a pumpkin patch. #MSWL

In short: my dream book has lovely sentence-level writing that pulls me in to the pages, an interesting plot with a good hook, is accessible but smart, and something with commercial oomph. That’s not asking for too much, right?? #MSWL

3. Romantic Comedies—I’d love to work on “frothy beach reads” that have both humor and heart. I love a strong voice + unique perspective. I need a commercial hook here. #MSWL

If you can picture a group of women splitting a wheel of brie + bottle of Pinot Grigio and talking about your book, send it to me. #MSWL

2. Women’s Fiction! I’d love to find the next Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick. (This is a WISH list, remember?) I love interesting voices/POVs, dual timelines with a historical feel, rhythmic language, generational sagas. #MSWL
