- i really want some funny picture books with off-beat characters in the center! Think Olivia, Elephant and Piggy, Gaston, Pete The Cat, etc! Also, I’m big on slightly more adventurous art styles!

I also want to build my list of exciting, meaningful, fun, and funny MG fiction! Again, I especially hope to see SFF and horror submissions with original premises and clear conflicts, but I'm also open to contemporary stories and mysteries. In everything, I hope to see strong messages! #MSWL

🎉 New Year, new #MSWL ! Here’s what I’m eager to see when I reopen in 2025:

👉 Bold, imaginative, PBs from author-illustrators
👉 Latinx, BIPOC, marginalized author-illustrators
👉 Laugh-out-loud funny PBs—smart, clever humor (no fart books or potty humor plz) (1/4)

Rom-coms! I'm being slightly picky in this area as I have quite a full list, but I am still looking for incredibly tropey, spicy and laugh out loud funny rom-coms!!

For contemporary stories, I am looking for confident high-concept speculative novels à la Ann Liang. I am very selective in the YA realistic space, and I’m looking for super commercial, funny, and well-plotted.

In Adult, I would particularly love a funny/satirical horror, a humorous, over-the-top mystery/thriller, or a locked room mystery in a spec fic setting.

I'm NOT typically the right fit for hist fic, military, police procedurals, high fantasy/sci-fi, dystopian, or literary fic.

✨Exciting news! I'm open to CB's, MG & YA submissions!✨
*No PB's, sorry.

#MSWL - I'm open to anything, but I'm especially looking for funny, horror & romance. A mashup of the 3 in a YA sub would be perfect.💖
Submissions open 1st-21st of each month.

Here's a bit of an overview of my #MSWL . Comedies! Hilarious family drama and/or funny situations characters get themselves into. Anything that makes me laugh out loud! If it’s got a comedic element with a strong female, BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ protagonist, PLEASE! #amqueryng

Current reads: Crying in H Mart (I don’t represent NF, but I love big feelings and complicated mother/daughter relationships), and The Ministry of Time, which is simply exceptional. Sharp, funny, and so original #mswl

A personal reading update in case it’s helpful to see what I’m into right now! I adored How To End a Love Story & Funny Story. I’ve loved Yulin Kuang since her YouTube days, and her debut is funny, romantic, & emotional. And, of course, EmHen remains the romcom queen. #mswl

#PB Timeless picture books, especially w/ a new format or approach. Unexplored topics, new perspectives, exceptional writing, true-to-life characters. Kid-facing, non-didactic, empowering, authentic, award-worthy.
Also fun, quirky, and funny picture books!
