Closed to unsolicited subs but if you have written this book or would be interested in writing it, comment here and I’ll send you a DM!

Every time a new James Cameron Avatar movie comes out I am reminded that one of my biggest #MSWL items is books by Indigenous authors about space exploration/exploitation

My top two #mswl wishlist items for 2026 are:
- an exciting adult mystery or thriller with something to say. Something that feels like Alyssa Cole's WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING or
kellyekell.bsky.social's MISSING WHITE WOMAN
- mg or ya set in Appalachia by someone from there. Especially with 🏳️‍🌈 or ♿️ rep

"Got a story featuring femme gore and body horror? Send it my way."

Note: I will reopen to author-only creators in the picture book space after the holidays 🫶

📢 AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATORS 📢
Surprise! I'm open to picture book author/illustrator queries from now until the end of the month. I will be prioritizing humor, high-concept hooks, STEM topics, and fresh approaches to evergreen topics #mswl

#mswl I've received very few graphic novel proposals since re-opening to queries, so I want to shout from the rooftops that, as a graphic novelist myself, children's comics are my jam and I want to see all of your pitches! Comics are so important!

#mswl I am gleefully losing my mind at the characters and tone of MAY I ASK FOR ONE FINAL THING and can't believe that the season is already ending this Friday. Turns out I love when elegant ladies get to punch baddies. Make me laugh while keeping me at the edge of my seat!
