Happy #MSWL Day! ✏️ I am open the first few days of every month. Deets here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/katie-erickson/. I am actively seeking author-illustrators of both picture books and graphic novels with great page turns and dynamic narratives.

Thank you manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social!

Something that keeps rattling around the back of my brain for picture books is the idea that there are consequences for our actions (good and bad). Apparently a lot of people missed this memo, but I think it's one worth hammering home 🙃

I'm still sick with the flu (also currently closed to queries) but I can't miss #MSWL Day !

I represent picture book (illustrator and author-illustrator only), middle grade, young adult, and adult creators.

A jumbled #MSWL for when I open back up to queries:

It's #MSWL Day! Please take a look at my profile: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/je... I'm open for queries!

I continue to yearn for great author/illustrators to add to my list. awfulagent.com/illustrators/

My favorite PB is still THEY ALL SAW A CAT because the visual journey of that book makes me cry every time.

I'd love to find a laugh out loud character-driven PB. Who is the next PINKALICIOUS?

#MSWL

Hello #MSWL I'd love to see:
:: new trade / literary author-illustrated pb story/dummies
:: endearing, quirky, unexpected, delightful, funny characters
:: strong emotional arc | eliciting connection w/ child
See my current list of author-illustrated pub books/esthetic: tinyurl.com/2xdb64df 📚 🎨

In #PB I’m on the lookout for funny, child-centered books with a clear narrative arc and amazing character who could possibly carry more than one story. I’m not looking for PB bios right now, but am open to NF that surprises, especially if it involves the natural sciences.

Thanks to manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social for organizing #MSWL day! I’m open from 1-7 of every month and here is what I’ll be looking for in March:

I rep PB-YA and gravitate towards projects that have a clear, commercial hook and a captivating voice. 🧵

#MSWL - I'm going to become an aunt this year! Would love to see stories that feature the special relationship between aunts/uncles and their nieces/nephews/niblings. #PB #kidlit #kidlit art

Happy #MSWL to all! This is my page, updated it relatively recently: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/em... I will be open to queries again on the 3rd of March. I'd love some voicey YA, particularly with romance, picture books on topics not usually addressed in pbs & fantasy that sweeps me away.

I have not been the best at being active over here so far, but I'm using #MSWL Day to remedy that!

I'm a literary agent at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret representing picture books, middle grade, YA, and adult fiction, and select nonfiction and graphic novels.

I'm actively searching for more author-illustrators of picture books and illustrated chapter books! #MSWL

A few more #MSWL a bit early: I would love to find some chapter books and early readers (even better if you're also an illustrator).

I love board books as well, but those I want to see from author-illustrators.

For picture books, I'm willing to see text only, but I do prefer author-illustrators.
