I have a deep and abiding love for "spooky" picture books that are really cozy stories with supernatural characters. A ghost gets over it's fear of public speaking? A skeleton and a zombie become friends? That's my jam.

Newly opening to: Picture Books!

I'm looking for dry humor that's accessible enough for children to understand but still clever enough for an adult to enjoy while reading it over and over. I like cozy, warm, gentle, soft art styles, but I'm also willing to be surprised.

Team howlandlit.bsky.social made me a gorgeous new #MSWL brochure. Here’s what I’m looking for when I open back up to queries in May.

As requested, an expansion on my picture book #MSWL

Across the board, I'd like to see more funny books, but especially in picture book and middle grade. #MSWL

Tuesday and I'm thinking a bit about my #mswl

I'm feeling *cosy* at the moment. I want stories that are all vibes and textures. Driftwood, oak floors, cobbled streets. Everything from PBs to NA give me your stories that are curl up in the corner, low stakes, hot coffee.

I have started calling picture books that are fun and entertaining and a bit commercial with a subtle message or theme as "pickles". They're not really vegetables, but they are made out of cucumbers. Kids don't think of them as vegetables (but again, cucumbers). That's the PB I want #MSWL

PT. 2 #MSWL 💜✨🐦‍⬛

Reupping this for #MSWL day and also to remind everyone I am also very interested in picture books from author-illustrators!

Ooo, I’m kinda late, but Happy #MSWL Day!!! I’m an agent at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency (andreabrownlit.bsky.social).

🤔, I’m especially looking for horror, thriller, romance, & artists (GN, PB, CB/MG, & covers). But you can find out specifics here:

#MSWL day!

I'd love to add more funny and spooky to my #pb and #mg list!

Happy #MSWL day!! I’m Analía, an associate agent at @andreabrownlit .bsky.social. It’s hard to choose one dream project (I want it all!!), but here are some elements +/or vibes I would love to read! open to PB, MG, and YA ✨ see more here:

Happy #MSWL Day! ✏️ I am open the first few days of every month. Deets here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/katie-erickson/. I am actively seeking author-illustrators of both picture books and graphic novels with great page turns and dynamic narratives.

Thank you manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social!

Something that keeps rattling around the back of my brain for picture books is the idea that there are consequences for our actions (good and bad). Apparently a lot of people missed this memo, but I think it's one worth hammering home 🙃

I'm still sick with the flu (also currently closed to queries) but I can't miss #MSWL Day !

I represent picture book (illustrator and author-illustrator only), middle grade, young adult, and adult creators.

A jumbled #MSWL for when I open back up to queries:

It's #MSWL Day! Please take a look at my profile: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/je... I'm open for queries!

I continue to yearn for great author/illustrators to add to my list. awfulagent.com/illustrators/

My favorite PB is still THEY ALL SAW A CAT because the visual journey of that book makes me cry every time.

I'd love to find a laugh out loud character-driven PB. Who is the next PINKALICIOUS?

#MSWL

Hello #MSWL I'd love to see:
:: new trade / literary author-illustrated pb story/dummies
:: endearing, quirky, unexpected, delightful, funny characters
:: strong emotional arc | eliciting connection w/ child
See my current list of author-illustrated pub books/esthetic: tinyurl.com/2xdb64df 📚 🎨

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.
