✨To all the picture book authors of the world✨

I have been closed to unsolicited picture book subs for a while, but now, I feel really good about bringing on a few authors.

I’ll be open to picture book subs for a small window August 10-Sept 1 only

My dream PB #mswl below:

In my recent addiction to food-focused travel TV, I've learned a bit about Queen of Creole Cuisine Leah Chase and how she literally fed the '60s civil rights movement and wow what a queen indeed. Could be an awesome PB bio subject...👀 #MSWL

I'm open for queries and updated my website with a new #MSWL, focusing on author-illo board books and chapter books; picture books and middle grade (fiction and non-fiction):

“Fandom books and other illustrated, geeky/pop culture non-fiction for YA and MG (maybe even PB?) readers.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm also acquiring the select picture book! I'm looking for heartfelt stories about marginalized folks' experiences, nonfiction bios, and laugh-out-loud pbs with sneaky adult humor.

Today is my first day at Penguin Workshop, an imprint of @penguinkids! Agents, please see below for my #MSWL.🥰

As a female engineer I am looking for middle grade, YA and PB about girls in STEM. All genres. Who achieve their goals thru bravery and not necessarily confidence. I want some real models not role models for our young women. #mswl #WritingCommnunity

I should note here - I would LOVE to see more PB queries from authors whose experiences are underrepresented in publishing. That's permanently on my #MSWL!

Wow, I’d love a picture book MS about something like this from a Black author — celebrating the history and present of Black men’s style. So sharp! #MSWL

#MSWL mucus is fascinating! Is there already a #pb out there on it? If so, please share, if not, please write it! I'd love to rep an nf children's book or even info fiction about mucus!

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

This would be a GREAT base for a picture book! Authors, agents... 👀 #mswl

“I want to see more books across genres about women in science/biology fields. YA, MG, PB, GN, adult, fiction, nonfiction. Send me your titles.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm particularly eager to build up my MG and Adult lists, but I can't resist a good PB or YA.

I'm perennially on the lookout for BIPOC, LGBT, and Neurodiverse creators in all categories.
