#MSWL I had to return Leila La Brujita Perfecta to the library and now have a vacant hole for PB stories that bring on all the whimsy of Flavia Z. Drago's work.

If you're a BIPOC author/illustrator with a dummy or working on a dummy that can fill this, I want to hear from you!

ICYMI my first 2023 #MSWL 🥰

Early Reader #MSWL: If you’re a BIPOC author-illustrator with the start of a GN novel series like Narwhal and Jelly with the laugh out loud moments of Supertato PBs, I’d love to hear from you.

PB #MSWL: I would love to partner with an author-illustrator with a dummy that uses monochromatic/B&W illustrations with minimal colors. Examples:

Hi #AmQuerying community! I'm thrilled to start seeking writers & illustrators to rep at @GalltZacker! :]

Though I'm not planning to fully open to queries this year, I am open to email queries for select projects from BIPOC writers/illustrators matching the descriptions below.🧵

In honor of #MSWLDay, reposting what’s at the top of my #MSWL … Illustrators/Author-Illustrators:
•Well-thought-out portfolios w/ illustrations representing our diverse world
•An easily-recognizable, signature look
•Images that emit any kind of emotion
See my feed for more!

It's #MSWL Day, & what I'm most excited about right now is LOVE stories! Please, please gimme 'em! Also, I'd love to see thrillers in the adult & YA space. There's more–because I'm greedy like that–so check out the new manuscript wishlist page. Thanks! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/Jemi…

I still have a handful of older queries and submissions to read, but I'm officially open to queries again! Looking for crossover speculative fiction, thrillers and horror with speculative elements, and 2SLGBTQIA+ picture books from authors or author/illustrators! #MSWL

PICTURE BOOKS—I am specifically looking for author-illustrators in this space. Send me anything that is humor-driven, brimming with heart, and/or has a touch of magic. Some of my favorites: THE NIGHT GARDENER, WE DON’T EAT OUR CLASSMATES, ALMA, THE BEAR AND THE PIANO. #MSWL

I'd love to see more author/illustrator graphic novel projects in my inbox 👀 #MSWL

"I'm looking for graphic nonfiction by author/illustrators for all age categories."

I’m looking to add to my list of passionate authors & illustrators who love & believe in the art of storytelling.
 
With that, my current 2023 #MSWL: 1/7

For some styles I like, check out the M&O team of picture book illustrators: Stacey Byer, Maribel Castells, Rachel Más Davidson, Tiffany Golden, Skylar Hogan, Dawn Masi, Sue Safianoff

Tagging with #mswl for visibility! Reach out if this describes you.

2023 #MSWL 🧵! I represent picture books through YA (+illustrators!) and in all categories I am particularly looking to represent more non-white, queer, and disabled creatives. As a white, cishet, abled woman, I truly appreciate the trust you put in me by sharing your work.
