Wishing for more nature / environmental picture books this Earth Day. Agents, please send them my way! #mswl

Picture books with punch and heart, non-fiction with a fresh twist (especially for MG and YA!), fiction with a singular voice and fierce energy. Relevant, resonant, and smart.

Agents! With the conversation around the sheer amount of subs we receive, here's what will stand out to me right now: Vibrant, energetic pbs that focus on joy, character, community, & heritage. Super relevant NF for all age groups. Contemp/hist fiction that will sweep me away...

#MSWL:
Contemporary, emotional love stories
Sweeping historical fiction
Smart, elevated thrillers
Novels in verse
Picture books with STEM hooks
Anything else that’s voice driven, literary, and innovative!
