Hey, so if you're one of the (too many) laid off federal employees who also writes or illustrates books for kids, I'd love to hear from you. I'm always interested in nonfiction proposals for all age groups within kidlit, and science, math, and history will be even more important soon. #MSWL

In nonfiction #MSWL I'd really love to find an expert in a field with a strong existing platform and a big idea - pop culture, pop science, social science, women's issues, memoir, etc.

I'm always on the lookout for more trans girl stories, especially now whether in fiction or NF across all ages. In the meantime, you should pre-order @dirtbagqueer .rocks's ONE OF THE BOYS that fulfilled a longtime #MSWL item of a football book that gave me FNL vibes.

In #PB I’m on the lookout for funny, child-centered books with a clear narrative arc and amazing character who could possibly carry more than one story. I’m not looking for PB bios right now, but am open to NF that surprises, especially if it involves the natural sciences.

I represent creators of graphic novels and graphic nonfiction for all age categories. I’m particularly looking for graphic novel proposals that push the boundaries of the format—a book that NEEDS to be in a visual, sequential format. #MSWL
