PB:
funny picture books by queer, BIPOC, marginalized authors that have nothing to do with identity. Give me the next CREEPY UNDERWEAR or DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS or PENGUIN PROBLEMS or LLAMA DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE

illustrators and author-illustrators

For younger readers, I want clever, funny and an immediate hook. I’m particularly interested in author/illustrators and graphic novel creators for this area, but I’d love to see them in other spaces too!

I’d LOVE to see MG and YA contemporary graphic novel scripts (magical realism is good too). Author only, author/illustrator, or team—I’ll look at all. #MSWL #WritingCommunity #diversity #inclusive Query me via Query Manager.

Over at #MSWL, I've got a little list of what I'm looking for up, as well as some musings about the importance of LGBTQIA2S+ books!

Illustrators:
* Skillful portfolio w/ interconnected illustrations that accurately represent the world we live in
* Stand-out characters & scenes that compel a reader to turn the page
* Artists w/ an easily-recognizable signature look
* Images that make me laugh 😂 or cry 😢

🎉 Thrilled to tweet that I am once again open to queries.

I represent passionate authors & illustrators who wholeheartedly believe in the power of storytelling for young readers (including YA!).
