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.

#MSWL First off, let me be clear that I actively look for authors and illustrators from marginalized groups (from all races, cultures, ethnicities, genders, LGBTQIA+, etc.).

My dream project is a picture book that connects with some of my New Age sensibilities. Astrology, Chakras, crystals...past lives! Surprise me with something like that, really well done, and I'd be very interested. #MSWL

I’ll be at the LTUE sci-fi/fantasy conference this weekend, so I might end up posting more than usual since books will be on the brain. Or maybe less, if I run into a lot of friends I haven’t seen in years. But I will try to throw out some #MSWL posts since I’m opening to queries in March.

Highlighting some #mswl in either YA, NA or adult: horror of any variety. Looking for really unique (new twists) romantasy, fantasy from soft to epic. Also where are my sci-fi space opera writers? 🤣 In addition to my other tweets on what I want.

I am looking for thrillers and crime fiction of all types; book club and historical fiction that moves me and makes me think (including novels featuring fantasy/mythology/science fiction). In non-fiction, books which open up the conversation and take me on a journey. #mswl

As always, I'm still open to other genres and love it when things surprise me. If you have something that resonates on this menu that is #query ready and you'd like to send my way, I can't wait to unlock some new fears. #amagenting #mswl

🔍 I also like my mystery with societal commentary with bipoc main characters
🔍If there's a side of humor with your mystery, I want to read it
🔍If there are siblings protecting each other from unspeakable things, please send

💀 Atmospheric gothic horror with a cultural connection
💀 If it could be an A24 movie, I want to read it
💀 I like my horror with a side of societal commentary
💀 Confronting fear that develops our main character
💀 I like slow-burn surprise horror as much as an action-packed page-turner

✨QUERY UPDATE ✨

I was planning to close completely in March, but after some reflection I will be opening to BIPOC authors only. I will open back up widely in April.

Thanks! #amquerying
