Two things I’d like to see more of in my box: adult nonfiction and #illustrators . Query me through Query Manager. #MSWL #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

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.

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.

As 4/15, I am completely caught up on queries.

Still looking for author/illustrators!

I'm very hungry for MG and YA non-fiction.

We are going back to the moon. Send me your space race non-fiction! The Right Stuff for kids! Voyager 1 is turning 50 soon! Give me SPACE!

Since I'm participating in #MoodPitch, I'm opening my inbox to general sub until 8PM! I am NOT open to YA at this time. Would love to see more #NF proposals + happily seeking #illustrators interested in creating coloring/activity #books geared toward #mindfulness! #MSWL

"I ❤️ representing a wide range of illustration styles, from hand-drawn to digitally rendered to collage to unconventional mediums. The main thing I'm looking for is a unique, distinctive look from picture book author/illustrators."

#MSWL - some specifics but it doesn’t mean I’m not open to other things
F/F romances — especially adult romances
Thrillers/mysteries
Historicals from underrepresented voices
Adult light fantasies
Feminist stories
Author/illustrator GN
Stories w/ speculative elements

#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."
