I’ve opened to picture books. I’ve missed my PB community. (Go easy on me.)

I’ll be prioritizing authors and/or illustrators from marginalized communities, books with side-splitting humor, and fascinating nonfiction (that’s not a bio).

“Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book-- you name it, I'm here for it.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

And as an outspoken advocate for greater diversity, equity, and inclusion in media, I am particularly keen to invest in the work of writers and illustrators who have historically been marginalized in American media. #MSWL

In Graphic Novels, I’d love to see:
☀️well-developed stories that are crafted in a way that allows the reader to see in different perspectives
☀️author or author-illustrator
☀️Superheroes—characters who are willing to help others in different ways

👀 Marvel fan

(3/9)

In Picture Books, I’d love to see:
☀️culture stories that shape us
☀️meaningful diverse stories that talk about love and family
☀️author or author-illustrators
☀️underrepresented voices

🎉 Look out for an announcement this week 👀

✨Illustrators are welcome to submit✨

(2/9)

I would also love to work with more #kidlitart #illustrators this year. I like bright, bold color palettes, expressive characters, creators who can tell a whole story in one image. My tastes range. See? jmcgowanbooks.com/clients

Try me! #MSWL

Hello! 🥳

I am closing my box at 12am to all genres until January 10th!🥳 So get them in!

I’ll be OPEN to ONLY illustrators!

I’m cleaning out my box slowly & will take this season to make final decisions.

A new #MSWL will come in 2022!

See you then! And Happy Holidays!🎄❤️ twitter.com/author_analiez…

Bold, big, bonkers books for younger readers – I’d particularly love to see graphic novels and illustrated books for the 7-9 readership but any big funny stories here are also brilliant #MSWL

MG: This is the area I'd most like to expand!

YA: My first love! I'm always looking for YA that stands out.
Select adult SFF & horror.
Always open to author-illustrators & graphic novels. Plus @DanieleDHunter & I LOVE novels-in-verse! We tend toward lyrical writing generally.

And here’s some specific #MSWL items:
- Contemporary MG in the vein of Corey Ann Haydu and Tae Keller
- YA romcoms
- MG and YA graphic novels, especially from BIPOC author-illustrators
- Native voices, especially from the Pacific Northwest or Inland Northwest
(2/3)

The categories I’m looking for, in order of priority, are:
- YA and MG graphic novels from author-illustrators (one person)
- MG
- YA
- Nonfiction for kids and teens
- Chapter books and picture books from author-illustrators (one person)
(1/3 #MSWL)

Graphic “Novel” #MSWL

🍂 realistic teen stories
🍂 graphic memoir
🍂 graphic nonfiction
🍂 psychological horror

Note: I’m currently only looking for projects created by author/illustrators (one creator both writing and illustrating the book).

Putting this out in the world: I love big “look books” like this & I would love to do one by a BIPOC illustrator focusing on a BIPOC community. If you’re such an illustrator & you love character, scenes, & details, hit me up! #mswl

#MSWL if you're an illustrator looking for representation, query me! Send me a DM and I'll provide you with submission guidelines.
