Since my slush pile will be reopening June 1, here's an updated #MSWL for holes in my current list:
–Board book author-illustrators
–Early reader and chapter book authors or author-illustrators
–Graphic novel author-illustrators (any age in kidlit)
–Creepy, gothic, southern gothic MG or YA

Again, not usually on here, but I’m re-sharing my #MSWL link because I’ve updated some things. The biggest change is that I’m only looking for author/illustrators with picture books and graphic novels at this time. Thank you for understanding 😸

I also love graphic novels as a medium for memoirs. It's such a cool way to see inside the creator's head -- how they view themselves, how they view the world, how they fit themselves within that world.

Newly opening to: Graphic Novels!

I'm looking for tightly plotted adventures with a strong hook and an elevated art style. I'm interested in similar themes as in prose: children or teenagers tackling unjust systems, an intense first emotional experience connected to a larger social topic.

Happy #MSWL Day! ✏️ I am open the first few days of every month. Deets here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/katie-erickson/. I am actively seeking author-illustrators of both picture books and graphic novels with great page turns and dynamic narratives.

Thank you manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social!

Yo #mswl ! I'm an editor at Andrews McMeel @andrewsmcmeel .bsky.social acquiring graphic novels, humor, and lifestyle/gift books for adults. I also enjoy developing concepts around unique voices. Agents, feel free to reach out! Here’s my latest wishlist:
www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/amanda-meadows/

In graphic novels, I'd love to see the next contemporary swoony YA or adult romance/romcom, as well as stories set in the workplace or internships. On the NF side, I'd love to see more illustrated how-to books for kids in my inbox. #MSWL

#MSWL for graphic novels, in terms of art style, a very incomplete list of some favorites for an idea of my taste:

-Beetle & the Hollowbones
-The Deep & Dark Blue
-Ink Girls
-I Shall Never Fall In Love
-On a Sunbeam
-The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich
-The Pale Queen

Okay, agent friends, it's #MSWL time! I'm an Associate Editor at Penguin Workshop, looking for middle grade and YA, as well as graphic novels in both categories. I love historical fiction, fantasy, and mysteries, and if you have something that combines those elements in a clever way, send it to me!

I represent creators of graphic novels and graphic nonfiction for all age categories. I’m particularly looking for graphic novel proposals that push the boundaries of the format—a book that NEEDS to be in a visual, sequential format. #MSWL

Right now, the largest % of queries I receive are for the fantasy genre. Which is great, I love fantasy, but I also want my list to be balanced. So I would *really* love to see more queries in other genres: romcom, horror, mystery, historical, magical realism, graphic novel, etc. #MSWL

I have not been the best at being active over here so far, but I'm using #MSWL Day to remedy that!

I'm a literary agent at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret representing picture books, middle grade, YA, and adult fiction, and select nonfiction and graphic novels.

Wait...it's #MSWL day? Well then!

I'm currently only open to #kidlit graphic novels, but in general, I like:
- complex caregiver/child relationships (I was raised in a kinship situation, and I like to see those complex layers in stories for kids)
- economic differences authentically represented

Happy #MSWL Day, everyone! I am a literary agent at andreabrownlit.bsky.social and looking to fill a few spots on my list. You can find my updated wishlist here: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sa...
- Adult Romance and Science Fiction
- Middle Grade Fiction
- Graphic Novels in all categories

I'm also open to fresh and original graphic novels. For these, I'm looking for an author/illustrator work, or an author/illustrator team. #mswl
