Happy New Year! For 2019, I thought I'd throw out some #MSWL ideas for writers. Broadly, I'm looking for all kinds of picture books by author/illustrators, MG, YA, Childrens' NF, Adult Narrative NF, and adult Lit Fiction. Details thread follows:

Opening up our @DA_Childrens submissions for 2019! If you're working on an #ownvoices #MG adventure with an unusual mythology, a diverse #YA that's as funny as Louise Rennison, some ground-breaking children's #nonfiction #PB or ANYTHING ELSE #kidlit send it my way #MSWL

I'd also love to see more high concept picture book manuscripts - give me clever, witty and/or hysterical but with a heart. #mswl

This year, I'd love to see more trade non-fiction for children and teens that goes beyond a traditional biography! Show me science, history, cultural movements, our planet, etc. in ways I haven't seen before! (bonus points if it's a graphic novel!) #NonFiction #pb #mg #ya #mswl

Clearly I love animal protagonists, but humans welcome, too 😂 #MSWL As a rule, not one for appliances or food as the main character. It’s just not for me.Also, CHICKENS. I am dying for that chicken picture book. I’ll know it when I read it, I think. #MSWL

I’m looking for picture books like Elise Parsley, Tammi Sauer and Ryan T Higgins. I prefer humorous, silly or witty picture books. Things kids (okay I) can read over and over again and still laugh. #MSWL pic.twitter.com/Q0Nhc6GGqJClearly I love animal protagonists, but humans welcome, too 😂 #MSWL As a rule, not one for appliances or food as the main character.

Thinking of sending me your picture book biography? I prefer unconventional narratives with lots of illustration potential. 😊

A reminder that Julia Child was an intelligence officer for the CIA during WWII. Oh, hey, also a reminder that I would very much like a novel about this. #mswlcia.gov/news-informati…
