Hi Agents, I'm excited to yell off the rooftops that I'm open to submissions at @Zandoprojects , acquiring a range of MG, YA, and select picture books and graphic novels across all genres! Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions on the below! #MSWL 🧵

for #graphicnovels & #comics , i’m looking for:
📷layers & depth of field
🪟thinking outside the panel
🌊watercolor feels
〰️ lovely line elements
🍱 studio ghibli vibes
🎨Monochromatic palettes
😎bad ass heroines …or villains
🧚‍♀️ whispy whimsical worlds
❤️ diverse characters

I’m in the process of updating my #MSWL profile, but in the meantime if anyone has a MG/YA graphic novel they’d like to query, I’d love to see more of those!!

I'm open to Graphic Novels for all age groups.

I'm open again to science fiction and horror, though still being extra picky there. I like my horror to have social commentary.

GN: absurd, funny MG; fantasy/spec like This Was Our Pact; YA like The Prince and the Dressmaker, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up..., Genderqueer, Go with the Flow, The Magic Fish, beautiful coming-of-age like This One Summer that lingers w/you but make it all gay gay gay. 5/6

With #queerpit approaching, I thought I'd write up a super specific super gay #MSWL . I acquire for picture books, MG, YA, graphic novels, & nonfiction for Atheneum, and I'm looking for queer esp intersectional (BIPOC, neurodivergent, disabled) and trans/NB/genderqueer voices. 1/6

👋 I'm Ivan! Assistant Editor at Sourcebooks, Kids!

📚 Open to submissions: Picture books and graphic novels!

GN #MSWL : If any creators/agents have a project w/a similar vibe as this, I'd love to see it! I'm also on the lookout for coming-of-gender stories; queer romance; contemporary like Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up.., This One Summer, Go with the Flow; absurdly funny MG/early readers

"I love all the graphic novels. Send me the next LAURA DEAN, PUMPKINHEADS, or ALWAYS HUMAN."

My agent profile is finally up at MSWL! Check me out at:
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/t-s-ferguson/

Oop! Just want to clarify something because I realize I may have been unclear: I am looking to represent picture books and graphic novels ONLY. I'm happy to look at queries for authors, illustrators, and author-illustrators, but at this time I'm not looking for prose novels.

Hyper-specific I LOVE: Ensemble Casts; Found family; QPR (queerplatonic relationships); Time travel/multiverse jumping; witch covens as femme solidarity; Non-traditional sports (roller derby, parkour, pro wresting); Tabletop RPGs (and it doesn’t just have to be D&D!)

YA and up: Family dramas that make you LOL or weep, no in between; Cute romances; kids trying to find their people and find themselves on the way; All sorts of spec-fic; all kinds of horror; cyber/solar-punk, with an emphasis on the punk; books that will radicalize kids

MG: Fun, commercial stories; whimsical Ghibli-like adventure; accessible fantasy; spooky, monster-focused horror

Overall: I am looking to represent authors and illustrators for picture books and graphic novels (from MG through Adult). I am also looking to uplift and highlight BIPOC and other marginalized voices.

2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:

In Graphic Novels (young readers, MG, and YA), I'd love to see:
📷 STEM topics for young readers
📷 Tweens saving the world
📷 Queer teens living their best lives

For the basics, I represent: MG horror, mysteries, & thrillers; YA SFF, horror, mysteries, & thrillers; adult SFF, horror, mysteries, & thrillers; select YA/adult GN; and select adult NF. More niche wants below ⬇️
