Adult NF: I'm interested in cookbooks that teach me something new about the world

Picture books with standout/breakout characters like THE BAD SEED and MOTHER BRUCE. #mswl

With the world as it is, I'm looking for some fun/funny picturebooks, agent friends! And I love smart wordplay, too. #mswl

#MSWL Picture books! I would love to represent a pb author or author/illustrator. I love whimsical ideas, lyrical writing, fic-informational, nf, and more. If you're unsure, please query!Picture Books are my absolute favorite. It would be a dream to add an author/illustrator to my list who's style is bold, dark, or moody similar to Jon Klassen or Ashling Lindsay #MSWL

I'm a huge fan of fairy tales but I've not come across a lot of these featuring marginalised characters. Are fairy tale retellings that feature diverse characters marketable in the current climate? #askDVpitThis is actually like the top of my #MSWL; I love retellings and would love to see more that include characters from marginalized backgrounds (and that holds true from PB through YA for me) #askDVPit

Feeling a little down about the idea of working from home, and from the realization that I likely won't travel to Chicago next month and see my family. Agents, now would be a GREAT time to slide into my inbox with a heartwarming and cutesy picture book! #MSWL

This colony of glowwormsāone of the largest in all of New South Walesāilluminates the stale, inky air like a constellation of blue-green stars. trib.al/4q6NtKAJust want to reiterate that I've always wanted to work on a glowworm picture book! I think it would be so visually dazzling. #MSWL

Iāve toyed with the idea of writing a Grateful Dead picture book for years but canāt figure a way into the story without mentioning drugs so... Someone else might have a good idea though so I guess I should tag it with a #mswl āš¼ā¤ļøšš

Updated #MSWL: humorous PB's with a surprise twist, and non-fic focusing on unsung heroes (pref. #ownvoices), MG with a clear narrative arc, unforgettable characters and a strong emotional core. Stories that bring out the magic in the ordinary. And ghosts!
