Day 9 of #25DaysofMSWL: I want commercial picture books with re-readiblity and strong writing. #MSWL

#MSWL

#MSWL for picture books or even MG nonfiction #25DaysofMSWL

#MSWL for Picture book nonfiction. #25DaysofMSWL

#MSWL for Picture Books #25DaysofMSWL

I love the idea that magic could be lurking in our world, if only we knew where to look. Have such a story (PB, MG, YA, adult speculative/horror)? Please send it my way! #MSWL

#MSWL for a picture book or MG biography from an #ownvoices author or author-illustrator!! (If this creator is also a librarian that would be 💯!)

This is a picture book. #mswl

"Romance, Literary, Commercial, Suspense, Young Adult, Middle Grade, and Picture Books." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

A lyrical #OwnVoices PB about a house blessing (or cleansing) ceremony/ritual. There are so many beautiful traditions out there from different cultural/religious backgrounds. #MSWL

This aesthetic and energy is my picture book #MSWL

Since it's #NationalCatDay, this is the perfect day to tweet that I NEED a PB about a cat. (Preferably from an author/illustrator.)

P.S. My cat Maple is sitting on my lap as I type this and she approves this #MSWL item.

Looking at my inbox, wishing it had a fun picture book centering an Asian child. And some without gender roles/stereotypes. And maybe one with ballet. Just thinking in two minutes before a meeting. #mswl

“Picture books based on cultural traditions/history.” @msmariavicente #MSWL bit.ly/2P9Z0aX

Lastly, as a PB writer... PBs! I have a stupid sense of humor so anything funny like Elise Parsley or Jason Carter Eaton. One of my favorites is RL Stine’s LITTLE SHOP OF MONSTERS. #MSWL

We are now a team of TWO book-hungry agents @DA_Childrens. #MSWL #YA #MG #PB #Childrensbooks, particularly looking for #diversevoices

Maternity leave is over and I am back at my desk and READY TO READ. #MSWL #YA #MG #PB #Illustrators #ChildrensBooks

2. #OwnVoices PB/MG/YA
3. YA Rom Com

I am so thrilled to join The Bent Agency as a literary agent!

Writers, send me all* your books!

*Specifically good ones that fit the linked criteria. Bonus points if they include mighty girls, dogs, sisters, baking, or magical happenings.

#MSWL a picture book about an endearing mosquito that doesn’t understand why everyone is always swatting it. I’m being dead serious who is writing this for me.
