Other specifics: ABOVE ALL, I prioritize diverse own voices from marginalized communities which is why November is diverse only. I am open to queer romance of all genres and age groups. I would love more author / illustrators for graphic novels and picture books. #MSWL (4/6)

After hanging at the indie bookstore this weekend, it is really apparent i need more comedy picture books. Fun stories. High concept. #MSWL

I feel like my picture book “brand” as an editor is on fully evident based on the titles of my 2026 books alone: Broccoli Is Trying to Kill Me, I Told a Little Lie, and If My Sister Were a Worm… #cheekyhumor #mswl

✨PB MSWL✨

I love character-driven picture books with fun and special characters, nature and STEAM themes, and books that stem from the author’s childhood or love of their culture.

I tend not to get super specific on my PB MSWLs since I love to be surprised but what I am looking for is the "heart of gold" in the story. Your book can be weird, sweet, funny, lyrical, commercial, whatever, but I want heart.

First up, I am looking for picture books with heart. If your books comps with GRANDPA GRUMPS, NOT QUITE NARWHAL, SKULLS, or any of these, I want to see.
