⭐️Middle grade humor with a big heart—I’d particularly like to explore careers outside of policing that nonetheless lend themselves to multiple adventures over the course of a series

⭐️YA contemp romance with substance, especially centering characters with marginalized identities (think Heartstopper, Pumpkinheads)

I'm pulling back a bit on graphic novels this year, but still open to GNs for 8-12-year-olds and teens. I can't accept author-only submissions at this time (but will consider agency-driven pairings!), GNs under 160 pages, or black and white middle grade. I'm hoping to see:

Also still excited about moving, universal memoir, paradigm-shifting nonfiction, adult graphic novels, craft, nature, and (as always) feminist anything.
I love unusual perspectives and things that make me look at the world in a new way. (2/3)

Hi writer friends! I'm officially reopening to queries!
I'm especially excited about ✨children's books✨: author/illustrators, nature/STEM/nonfiction, graphic novels, and refreshing, original MG and YA.
#mswl #amquerying (1/3)

I'm open to queries again!!! Here's what I'm really wanting to see in my box right now...

#MSWL 1/?

-unique picture books by diverse authors
-joyful stories about the lives of marginalized creators in PB and MG
-MG & YA contemporary stories as graphic novels or novels-in-verse

So very excited to share I've joined @ktliterary!

I will be opening to queries in the new year, continuing to rep picture books, middle grade and YA novels, graphic novels, and nonfiction.

Ahem. Once again. Also, check out my #mswl to send me badass #MG and #YA and graphic novels at ASlater[at]sjga[dot]com.

On my #MSWL.

ADULT FICTION: Literary fiction, Poetry (very selective, underrepresented voices)

"I want adult fiction or YA graphic novels comping DEAD BY DAYLIGHT or HOCUS POCUS that are character-driven and emotional."

Have a pile of submissions to get to but a #mswl that's been on my heart ever since my trans/NB partner told me they've never seen themself reflected in lit: more books (PB, MG, YA, GN) featuring genderqueer main characters pls. There's power in lit, and the fascists know it.

"I'd love to find a graphic novel that has the same vibes as Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls show."

"I'd love to see more YA or MG illustrated nonfiction or graphic novels about women’s rights, reproductive health, and adjacent topics (pop culture included)."

Hey D.B.! Oh gosh, that's strange. But YES—Atheneum publishes picture books, MG, YA, and graphic novels within the S&S Children's group. My specific #MSWL lives here, if you want to check it out: featherflores.com/mswl/. Any questions, give me a shout! (& ahh your pitch is 🔥🔥)

I would like to see more YA, or MG, graphic novels. #MSWL

Hi book nerds 💜 Huzzah! My #MSWL is now officially live! Agented authors and creators, feel free to share this with your agent. Unfortunately for those in the query trenches, I'm unable to accept unagented submissions...I leave you with a catdog 🐱🐶

basically, for GNs, if your story fits what i’m looking for, send my way! i’m very open to a range of art styles right now, and would love to be surprised by something new 😊

for artwork, i like a wide range—i love the grittiness of SAGA’s artwork, but also the muted tones and simplicity of KISS NUMBER 8. COVENANT and LORE OLYMPUS are two of my favorite webcomics with wildly different art styles
