Picture books with great visual storytelling (or texts that leave lots of space for it) #mswl

Picture books that address big topics of power and social justice for the youngest kids #mswl twitter.com/chidiaqian/sta…

Welcome to 2020, publishing! Agent friends, here’s a #mswl thread for pinning and perusing and adding to all year.

Forever, I’m looking for PB, MG, and YA, especially by underrepresented creators, especially contemporary fiction that leads with joy.

Misc. wants:
- Artist and Illustrators for picture books and graphic novels.
- Tarot card proposal.
- Middle Grade and YA nonfiction by underrepresented authors and spirituality.
#mswl

What I'm looking for in 2020:

* Graphic novelists & picture book auth/illustrators with tremendous wit, heart, style and flair - my taste in art tends toward the quirky, textured, European, with a strong line and lots of movement - may BE digital, but doesn't LOOK digital #mswl

The query inbox at @PSLiterary opens on Monday, and I’m so excited to add new clients to my list in 2020.

Representation info and my updated #mswl is at the link below. Let me know if you have any questions.

If I've fumblingly tried to describe my picture book #mswl to you ("I'm so tired of kindness!"), this tweet from @booktoss does it perfectly.

I’m gearing up for 2020 and decided to add picture books to my wish list, but I’m also removing adult fantasy and adult sci-fi. I still want MG and YA in those (and other) genres. See my pinned tweet for deets. #MSWL #WritingCommunity #amquerying

So who is writing the picture book about the Thanksgiving Day parade balloons who go on strike....??? #MSWL

Oh my. 💕💕💕 #mswl (...or a sales page the moment I can put this needed PB/MG on my child's shelf, if someone else gets it done first.)

A PB on the Atlanta washerwoman’s strike, or Pullman porters, or the Chicano rights movement; MG novels starring boys of color doing sports; MG or YA NF on topics of POC history #mswl

Black authors! Write me a picture book about this, please! 👇👇👇 #mswl

Would love to see more inter-generational stories from non-western cultures for the PB space in my inbox! Grandparents and grandchildren, aunts/uncles and nieces/nephews, etc. taking part in family or broader cultural traditions! #mswl

Every time I spot the SCBWI folder designed by @ogemora in my office, or read one of her books, I'm reminded yet again of how much I love collage. I'd love to see more PBs that utilize collage! ✂️📜🎨 #MSWL

I want this as a picture book #MSWL

Weird specific daughter of architects #MSWL, but I would love a pb about how buildings are designed, possibly centering around a real architect or engineer (think Baby's First Eames but narrative)
