...I am so hungry for immersive, beautifully written, non-European YA fantasy, and for cozy/slice-of-life SFF for MG/YA (prose or graphic novel), that for now I will allow queriers for these genres to bypass my usual requirements. #MSWL

Welcome to 2023 everyone
Pleased to announce my official #MSWL is live and available. For details on what Iāll be looking for please refer to this pageā¬ļø
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/antoā¦

Literary Agent
Illustrated graphic novels and graphic nonfiction by individual author/illustrators. MG, YA, Adult. The art needs to cleverly utilize the comics storytelling format. Iām not looking at script-only submissions at the moment. #MSWL

Editor
āļøAnd across the board, energetic, expressive, inventive, accessible, and commercial art (ideally full-color for middle grade, at least two-color for everything)

Editor
āļøMiddle grade humor with a big heartāIād particularly like to explore careers outside of policing that nonetheless lend themselves to multiple adventures over the course of a series

Editor
āļøYA contemp romance with substance, especially centering characters with marginalized identities (think Heartstopper, Pumpkinheads)

Editor
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:

Literary Agent
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)
