#MSWL - cozy mysteries, YA or MG retellings, NF (see QM or PM for list), PB (can be author-only)

#MSWL a beautifully written PB/MG/YA touching upon and shedding light on Korean American history. Something like one of my favorite films, 말모이 Mal-Mo-E, weaving humor, nuanced characters, complicated family dynamics beating w/love, & a spirit of resistance against the odds.

This is the first time I am open to Picture Books! I am selectively looking for: whimsical and funny stories, especially those that showcase diversity. Family and friendship themes are my favorite. It's a plus if you are an author/illustrator, but not a must.

¡Feliz día de Reyes! speaking of which, don’t suppose any picture book authors out there have a fiction pb manuscript sitting in a drawer that touches on Epiphany traditions in Latine families/communities? #mswl

Illustrated picture books by individual author/illustrators. My picture book preference leans heavily on the “literary” side of storytelling and prose. Moving topics, poetic language, visually and emotionally striking protagonists, unique art style. #MSWL

"Author/illustrator picture books. I love Liz Climo & Kim Smith, beautiful & colorful art, and geeky & queer stories."

I'm open to queries again!!! Here's what I'm really wanting to see in my box right now...

#MSWL 1/?

-unique picture books by diverse authors
-joyful stories about the lives of marginalized creators in PB and MG
-MG & YA contemporary stories as graphic novels or novels-in-verse

For the new year, in addition to my forever #MSWL on the ArtHouse page, in 2023, I’m looking for some specifics!!:
- picture book nonfiction
- narrative nonfiction/memoirs (think MAID)
- middle grade National Treasure with non-founding father artifacts

Would love to see a YA "Bad Sisters" or a Sarah Dessen-type novel with BIPOC main characters. Would also love an MG with some badass main characters. How about a PB with a crazy, funny twist at the end? #MSWL

💜WRITERS💜 No need to wait until the new year--I'm open to queries and would love to see your work. YA/MG/PB fiction and NF. Make me laugh, make me swoon, make me cry. BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled and other underrepresented creators please query! #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/shar…

"I love a unique atmosphere/strong sense of place in books across the board, whether that be picture books, middle grade, or adult fiction."

Give me books for #generationartemis! All the space books EXCEPT space opera (sorry!)! Think Andy Weir, Mary Doria Russell, and Fonda Lee. Also more fiction picture books with space themes! Non-fiction is good too, but I want something fresh.

First, you can find out more about me and what I'm looking for anytime on our website: dunhamlit.com/anjanette-barr…
