A few more #MSWL a bit early: I would love to find some chapter books and early readers (even better if you're also an illustrator).

I love board books as well, but those I want to see from author-illustrators.

For picture books, I'm willing to see text only, but I do prefer author-illustrators.

Oh, and I should note I’ll be re-opening to queries on March 1, so please do keep me in mind as you prepare your query lists for pb, mg, ya, and everything in between (as long as it’s for children). Once I reopen, my query guidelines will be live at QueryTracker.net/query/michel... #MSWL

#MSWL I only represent children’s books, but I work with everything from board books through YA, both fiction and nonfiction. In board and picture books I prefer seeing submissions from author-illustrators.

I desperately want to find the equivalent of the picture book author in the Korean drama It's Okay Not to Be Okay. (If you've seen the show, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.) Maybe just a little less stabby. #MSWL

Please, I beg of you, once I reopen to queries in like a month, send me every children's manuscript (PB through YA) that someone told you was too strange to let out into the daylight. I must discover the next Roald Dahl or Edward Gorey. #MSWL

I need to get off Twitter before I'm sucked in by the temptation that is #DVpit. I'm closed to submissions atm because I'm so behind on reading requested ms, but when I reopen (TBD), I'd best be seeing some of these in my query inbox. (kidlit only: YA, MG, PB) #MSWL

The stories of #WomenInScience being shared in the hashtag, I want to #MSWL them all (for picture book through YA).
