New specific whim for my #MSWL! I'd love to see more PB bios of contemporary musicians. Give me rock bands, give me rappers, give me pop stars currently killing it. (Lizzo, anyone?? 👀) I LOVE music across many genres, try me with anyone who has a fascinating, kid-OK story!🎸🎵🎶

dipping my lil toes back into Twitter to announce that i'm on the hunt for those special *fiction* #picturebook mss--i don't have many on my list, but am looking to change that! #MSWL

I'm also open to #PB, #MG, and #NF for all ages. Not looking for board books or rhyme at this time.

My #MSWL for PB: true rhyme w/ perfect meter; 99% of the time prefer text-only

Tip 1: You know where you expect the beats, so have others read it out loud. Listen for where they place the emphasis.

Tip 2: Don’t force the rhyme. 🤦🏼‍♀️

✨Cookbooks
✨Home & lifestyle
✨Retellings (YA only)
✨PB, particularly holiday

Hey D.B.! Oh gosh, that's strange. But YES—Atheneum publishes picture books, MG, YA, and graphic novels within the S&S Children's group. My specific #MSWL lives here, if you want to check it out: featherflores.com/mswl/. Any questions, give me a shout! (& ahh your pitch is 🔥🔥)

Hi book nerds 💜 Huzzah! My #MSWL is now officially live! Agented authors and creators, feel free to share this with your agent. Unfortunately for those in the query trenches, I'm unable to accept unagented submissions...I leave you with a catdog 🐱🐶

Happy Saturday and here’s my picture book bannister! Love what I get to do everyday helping to create and get books out into the world especially picture books that get kids excited about reading and learning!!! #books #bekind #mswl #mswishlist #QueenElizabeth #history

PB:
funny picture books by queer, BIPOC, marginalized authors that have nothing to do with identity. Give me the next CREEPY UNDERWEAR or DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS or PENGUIN PROBLEMS or LLAMA DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE

illustrators and author-illustrators

I’m really not taking on many picture books at the moment, but if I were to go for something, I’d want it to have a clear hook and also answer a need - a lovely story just isn’t enough for me right now.

big #MSWL item for me too, though I can only do picture books through YA

#MSWL for when I re-open Sept 1:
nonfiction business, leadership, lifestyle, cookbooks, home decor, gift books, and picture books.

Platform matters but platform is sometimes more than social media numbers.

Good morning! Finally built out my #MSWL page for all curious minds (and agents and writers): manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/iren…

#MSWL Middle Grade (not fantasy or scifi) and Picture Books. blueridgeagency.com

It was a pleasure to participate in #DVpit. I’m so impressed with the professionalism of the #writingcommmunity.

With 2 upcoming conferences and current client projects to shop, I’m closing my QM on Tuesday. #MSWL still open for NF & PB until then!

If I missed your #DvPit #PB pitch, paste query AND text in the body of the email OR paste the query in the email and attach the MS. #ownvoices #MSWL #diversity QueryManager.com/QueryLynnetteN…

I've updated my website page with a MUCH more specific #MSWL - I'm very keen to take on a couple of new clients over the summer so if you write within #ChildrensBooks, #YA, or #SFF then I would love to hear from you! For more details of my taste see:

In PBs:
* Thought-provoking or entertaining stories, but not ones whose aim is to teach a lesson
* Unique characters w/ a very specific & kid-centric point of view
* Marginalized voices that allow the reader to feel seen & heard
* Narratives that make me giggle 🤣 or tear up 🥹

🎉 Thrilled to tweet that I am once again open to queries.

I represent passionate authors & illustrators who wholeheartedly believe in the power of storytelling for young readers (including YA!).

My #MSWL for 2022 includes (simplified ... because ... Twitter 😅):
