PB: I'd love to see nonfiction & fiction that undermine heteronormativity/gender binaries & celebrate queer kids beginning to find words for who they are, or who don't yet have the words for "trans," "nonbinary" (how you can be AMAB, feel like a girl, & still like girls) 2/6

With #queerpit approaching, I thought I'd write up a super specific super gay #MSWL . I acquire for picture books, MG, YA, graphic novels, & nonfiction for Atheneum, and I'm looking for queer esp intersectional (BIPOC, neurodivergent, disabled) and trans/NB/genderqueer voices. 1/6

With so many pitch events fast approaching, I thought it was about time for an #MSWL refresh. I rep everything from picture books to adult fiction, but am looking to fill some particular gaps:

I'm also open to illustrators. AND I'm looking for picture books, BUT ONLY author-illustrators.

(I'm sorry to PB, MG, & YA authors. I'm not capable of reading everything at this time, but hope to open more widely in the future. For now, I'm taking referrals only).

Oop! Just want to clarify something because I realize I may have been unclear: I am looking to represent picture books and graphic novels ONLY. I'm happy to look at queries for authors, illustrators, and author-illustrators, but at this time I'm not looking for prose novels.

PB:
-Books that instill a sense of wonder and curiosity, both about the world around them and about their peers
-Books that respect kids' Big Feelings
-Soon-to-be iconic characters and their adventures
-Nonfiction where the author’s passion jumps off the page, ala Bill Nye

Guys! I’ll be open to unsolicited queries soon, so it’s my turn to post my #MSWL! Thread below⬇️

Overall: I am looking to represent authors and illustrators for picture books and graphic novels (from MG through Adult). I am also looking to uplift and highlight BIPOC and other marginalized voices.

In Picture Books, I'd love to see:
🍎Family traditions and how they shape us
🍎Silly and fun wordplay (no rhyming books plz)
🍎Poetic, lyrical books that show emotional resilience 🍎Biographies and nonfiction focusing on people and eras that have been historically overlooked
