#mswl

Hi! I'm currently closed to subs, but will be open soon. I'll announce when here, so feel free to follow. I rep picture books, YA, adult, fiction and non-fiction and love unforgettable stories. Always looking for great works! My wishlist and guidelines here #mswl :
www.jdlit.com/marie-lamba

Character-driven, humor-infused stories with a solid hook across formats—picture books, chapter books, graphic novels, and middle grade.

As editorial director at Kar-Ben, my #MSWL is all Jewish kids books. I want stories that feel contemporary, surprising, unpredictable, plot-driven, clever, fun, absurd, and/or whimsical, where the kid has agency and goes after their goals. How to submit:

OMG, I'm loving these cat photos! So excited to see today's #MSWL submission in my inbox. I'll stay open until I wake up tomorrow morning, 4:30am Eastern. Send me your #YA , #MG , #PB and Adult and Kid #NF .

And keep the cat photos coming!!

Hello #MSWL day!

As ever, I’m on the hunt for author-illustrated picture books! Humor is ALWAYS my bag!! Big hearted characters. Big emotions!!

Please note: I only rep illustrators and author-illustrators. If you send an author-only project it will be rejected unread!

Picture books are my guilty pleasure! #MSWL

MORE:
Fun & funny
Instant kid appeal 🤝 Classroom/Library potential
Lots of layers

LESS (or better, none):
Teachy or preachy
Sentimental or nostalgic
Rhyme

Books of my 💛: I WANT MY HAT BACK, SOUL FOOD SUNDAY, PLANTING STORIES... PURA BELPRÉ

It's #MSWL day and I am open to queries on Monday. Here are some things I am thinking about.

For picture books, I'm always looking for celebrations of identity like THE TRUTH ABOUT DRAGONS and stories that capture universal emotions through culturally specific experiences like BE CAREFUL, XIAO XIN! #MSWL

Happy #MSWL Day! I acquire everything from picture books to YA, including graphic novels. Behold the thread below for some MSWL items I am hoping, praying, begging, asking very nicely for 👀🥺🎉

I know most of us are dreaming of warmer weather at this point, but I'd love to see PB submissions with ✨cozy little moments.✨ Think Eliza Wheeler's A COZY WINTER DAY, Devil Elle Kurtz's THE BAKERY DRAGON, and Steve McCarthy's THE WILDERNESS.
