Agents, I’m on the hunt for a Christmasy holiday picture book but think family/cozy and less Santa. Note: no unsolicited manuscripts please; agented submissions only #kidlit #MSWL

I’m in the mood for a cozy picture book with a fresh take on the Fall season. Sweaters, apple picking, cider donuts, crisp bonfire nights, corn mazes, colorful leaves—I want all the seasonal vibes! (Agented submissions only please) #MSWL #PB #picturebooks

#MSWL: Agents, I’d love to find a picture book that is both charming and funny. So many sad submissions in my inbox lately that I’m in need of a good laugh. #PictureBooks

Agents—I’m on the hunt for more #MG! I am most drawn to contemporary coming-of-age stories, featuring underrepresented voices, characters who are navigating typical “firsts” (crushes, first periods, etc.), strong friendships, sibling and intergenerational relationships. #MSWL

Agents! I’m on the hunt for a #YA #fantasy with a kickass heroine, brilliant worldbuilding, a high stakes plot and a touch of romance. Think SERPENT & DOVE by Shelby Mahurin, SHATTER THE SKY by Rebecca Kim Wells, and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. #MSWL

Agents! I’m dying to find a voice-driven #YA #romcom. The meet cute, the awkward flirty banter, the high emotional stakes—I want them all! Comps: Morgan Matson, Jenny Han, and Sarah Dessen. #MSWL

I love #MG and #YA stories with witty banter/mother-daughter relationships/quirky towns in the same vein as Gilmore Girls! #MSWL

Want to see more #YA protagonists with unique passions/hobbies, ala With the Fire On High. #MSWL

I am still searching for a time travel/Outlander inspired #YA! #MSWL

Would like to find more #contemporary coming-of-age #MG stories. #MSWL

Looking for more voice-driven #contemporary #YA. #MSWL

I want to find more #picturebooks with classic illustrations and timeless themes! I especially have a soft spot for stories featuring siblings, intergenerational relationships, and friends. #MSWL

Still looking for a #friendship #YA ala The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants or The Deepest Roots. #MSWL

Looking for more high concept #YA #fantasy with lush world building and a hook that I haven’t seen before! #MSWL

Agents! Still looking for a #historical #YA or #MG with or without #magic. #MSWL

Would love to find a fun #MG magical adventure. Think #EllaEnchanted for a new generation. #MSWL

Agents! I’d love to acquire a cozy #YA rom-com set during the autumn season. #MSWL

I’d love to acquire a fun, contemporary #YA rom-com that will appeal to fans of Jenny Han and Morgan Matson (for the age 12 and up crowd). *Agented submissions only, please! #MSWL #Youngteen

Would love to find a #YA with #magicalrealism ala The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. #friendshipstories #MSWL

Would love a voice-driven contemporary #YA rom com (frenemies to lovers, anyone?) #MSWL
