For PBs: author/illustrators only. (I know that stings a little. Sorry?) I like modern art styles, whimsical-with-heart stories, light humor, honest kid emotions, and simple prose. +100 for women and POC author/illustrators. #mswl

Stepped inside @BankStreetBooks mere moments before the downpour began & well, there are worse fates than waiting out a thunderstorm in a bookstore. ⛈📚⛈

Update: read some books. ☔️📚
Related P.S. Standing #MSWL request for all your kids/MG/YA graphic novels! Illustrators, authors, and/or author-illustrators are all welcome. (I’m probably not the right agent for adult graphic novels/comics, tho.)

So if you are submitting a Graphic Novel to me, let's talk what I want to see:
#amquerying #MSWL

-Script that is more "Hollywood". I am not a fan of the panel by panel art direction.
-2-3 pages of sample pages if you are the illustrator and character designs
-Synopsis

Librarian friends, has there ever been a picture book starring a dog in a cone (am I missing something obvious)? If not...author/illustrators, here is your inspiration. #mswl

Illustrated middle-grade stories! #mswl There are kids out there clamoring for them. Kids who find an all-text novel too scary. Kids who have outgrown chapter books but who aren't ready for a novel. They need those illustrated stories!
