not to sound desperate or anything, but i would absolutely love to see more latinx picture books in my inbox #mswl

I am open once again for #pb submissions! On my #MSWL are stories with a blend of humor and heart, stories with unusual main characters, and SEL stories that feel authentic. #WritingCommunity #kidlit #authorcommunity

My client list is filling up, so I will be even more selective this time. My #mswl includes:
- high concept board, picture, and chapter books (new concept easily understood in just a few words)
- YA contemporary like Jenny Han and John Green (commercial but bends a bit literary).

Hi cuties! Who’s got a picture book text about the Amazon? Fiction or nonfiction, or a little bit of both—I’ve got a hankering! #MSWL

#PB Timeless picture books, especially w/ a new format or approach. Unexplored topics, new perspectives, exceptional writing, true-to-life characters. Kid-facing, non-didactic, empowering, authentic, award-worthy.
Also fun, quirky, and funny picture books!

I’d love some in my inbox please? #MSWL

Happy Monday Funday and just sharing my picture book banister!!! And remember kids: reading is fun! #books #literaryagent #BeKind #MSWL

📚 PB: Currently, my wants in the PB space are for author/illustrated manuscripts. Bonus points for humor. I *love* to laugh, especially now. I love the smart-but-side-splittingly-funny vein.

No specific #MSWL but I'd really love a story that meets all the guidelines below and is told with energy and humor.

looking for:
🥸 laugh-out-loud, wry, absurd PBs
👩🏽‍🦳 contemporary, high-concept upmarket MG and YA focused on stakes, and emotion
🩷 romance with BIPOC voices
🏠 uncommon or intergenerational relationships

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
