I'm prioritizing adult fiction. Taking a break from nonfiction submissions, because I've recently signed some amazing authors in nonfiction and need to focus on their projects first.

#MSWL : Nonfiction that turns me into that person at dinner parties. Cold War spy games, true crime that makes me triple-check my locks, pop culture deep dives that make people say how do you even know this? If it sends me into a research spiral at 2 AM, I’m in. #amquerying (1/n)

These are some of my perennial #MSWL wishes. You can see a fuller list on my website, though this obviously isn't everything: michellewitteliterary.com/query-guidel...

I'll try to think of specific things tomorrow to give you an idea of the kinds of books I like. But I also love to be surprised.

I love to get queries for books that fit any of these descriptors: weird, strange, odd, quirky, creepy, bizarre, peculiar.

I would kill to find the next Edward Gorey. Like seriously, an author and/or illustrator with the same twisted, quirky vibe is my dream. Or the next Roald Dahl.

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.

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.
