Hey all! I'm opening back up to queries TODAY! My wish list has changed a bit so here's a fresh link to the page: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kortโฆ
I specialize in books for kids: board book through YA. I work on fiction & nonfiction, as well as illustrated and graphic novel works. #MSWL

Literary Agent
In #MG I would love to see a kid's perspective living somewhere like Oak Island during the hunt for treasure. I want to see the history, the mystery, the gold, and how the kids are the ones who find it! #MSWL #amquerying #amagenting

Literary Agent
#MSWL I'm so excited to share that I'm switching up my wish list! I am no longer accepting adult manuscripts but I AM now looking for amazing picture books, early readers and chapter books along with #MG and #YA! To see more, check out my updated page! corvisieroagency.com/kortney-price.โฆ

After what seems like an eternity of editing, tweaking & rearranging, my website is FINALLY finished!! Check it out for my up to date #mswl, recent #writingtips blog posts, & to see what about my authors' writing made me fall in love with their stories! kortneyprice.com

Literary Agent
Hey all! I have a #MSWL page now!! Please feel free to meander on over there and check it out ๐ #querytip #subtip manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kortโฆ

Hi #amquerying folks! Just a reminder that Corvisiero will be closing to queries on Dec 1! If you have a dark #YA thriller/contemporary/mystery or a #MG survial, those are at the top of my wishlist right now ๐ #mswl

LAST one! Somehow it completely slipped my mind to mention that I'm now opening submissions for MG GRAPHIC NOVELS!!! I'm so excited to work on these stories so send them my way! #mswl

Literary Agent
Another MG #mswl (I'll get to YA in a bit) is a clever mystery with lots of moving pieces. Think Westing Game by Ellen Raskin or Clue ๐

Literary Agent
I'm also still looking for my MG sci-fi "Shenanigans on the space station" manuscript... think prankster, trouble maker, or majorly accident prone characters who go on a wild adventure #mswl

Literary Agent
I'm still searching for my MG survival story! Please send me your shipwrecks, deserted islands, mountains, forests, jungles, deep sea diving, lost in the big city, kayaking, camping trips gone wrong, treasure huntsโฆ I'll take them all! #mswl

These elements can include character, theme, atmosphere, grit, style, voice, setting, world building.....any craft element that you want to highlight.For example, "My story combines the humor of Shannon Hale's Austenland with the heart and action of Kenneth Oppel's Airborn in this MG role playing adventure gone wrong" (#MSWL, btw)

Literary Agent
I am absolutely dying to see some MG adventure or survival stories in my inbox! Shipwrecks, deserted islands, mountains, forests, deep sea diving, lost in the big city... whatever you've got I'm probably looking for it! #mswl
