I'm excited to announce that I am a Literary Agent Apprentice with @CorvisieroLit and am now accepting queries! Follow the link in my bio for my full #MSWL , and how to submit. Send me all your upmarket speculative fiction 🤩 #amquerying #WritingCommunity #amagenting #publishing

I think this needs to be a picture book …like, immediately! 🐭🥰

3. FABLES

If you have stories that are folklore lite, I want them! They can be imagined or real stories from a culture.

Examples: 1001 Arabian Nights, Aesop's Fables

2. MORALS and LESSONS

I'm keen on publishing books that teach children about virtues (e.g., forgiveness, patience), emotions, and mistakes through a fun or engaging story.

Examples: The Boy Who Cried Wolf, My Hijab Is My Crown, Who Will Make Iftar With Me?

1. COMMUNITY

I'm the perfect one for you if your PB focuses on teaching children how to navigate this world with kindness, compassion, and sympathy toward themselves OR others via a story.

Examples: Brown is Beautiful, Eyes That Kiss in the Corners, My Block Looks Like

For the first time, I will be open to select picture book submissions for Shush or Sorra Books (on top of chapter books)!

What I'm looking for — a quick #MSWL 🧵

I’ll be open to queries February 1-February 29

#MSWL #kidlit #WritingCommunity

Back to work next week and I’m so excited to check my inbox! 🤩 #kidlit #kidlit art #MSWL #PB #editor

Dear #kidlit #WritingCommunity all this #editor wants for Christmas is your weirdest and funniest character-led stories that break all the rules 😜🎄🎁 #PB #MSWL

Out of Office: 12/16/23 - 1/4/24

Happy Holidays! 🥰

I also want this #mswl

Since we're all kinda talking about our wishlists, can I just say I am still always looking for picture book stories that are weird. And maybe don't really teach you anything. Bonus points if the protagonist is a weird little girl.

Future #MSWL & QM update:
I have less than 40 undecided queries/submissions. I plan to reopen mid-late January to a few genres. This info is not on my website or MSWL page yet— it’s just a head’s up and I hope it’s helpful!

✨ ADULT FICTION✨
• contemporary romance - think Emily Henry but low spice or Melissa Ferguson
• upmarket / book club
• cozy mysteries

✨ NONFICTION✨
- same as what’s on website -

✨ KIDLIT ✨
• PB/MG/YA - classic-style with a literary bent. Secret Garden. Bridge to Terabithia. Winnie-the-Pooh.
• PB - humorous character-driven series

‼️Not looking for SEL or rhyme.‼️

While I'm thinking of queries, I've decided to update my #MSWL for the new year. Check it out here:
serarivers.com/mswl/

Appropos of nothing, would love more PB and MG submissions (and YA why the hell not) about unions #mswl

Recently updated my #mswl ! #amagenting #opentoqueries

#mswl #pb I’d love to rep a #nonfiction #picturebook about the evolution of bathing!

Humor. Humor. Humor.
