In which my affection for Joel Gray only grows...

Playwrights, I am happy to read any Ghostlight YA, middle grade, or picture book manuscripts you write. #amagenting #mswl

My picture book #MSWL changed recently: I’m looking for author-illustrators (instead of text only projects) but I will make an exception for contests (like DVPit!), critiques, and conferences.

#MSWL includes all YA/MG/PB except fantasy. I'm hungry for something that grabs me in from the first line and totally distracts me from COVID worries. stringerlit.com

And I will most assuredly miss lots of pitches today (yay kids at home!). My queries are open regardless of today's event. I'm always looking for funny, madcap adventures in MG and big sweeping escapist stories in YA (all genres, but not the bloody ones). #DVpit #MSWL

👉Call for submissions! Check out our manuscript wishlist! #kidlit #kidlitart #mswl #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity #dvpit #pb

Throwing out a few Monday #MSWL items into the universe while we’re all still under quarantine. I’m enjoying doing this as I’m looking to build my list right now across PB, MG, and YA, with a focus in MG. Agent friends, if we haven’t connected yet, let’s!

Exciting bookish news: I have a shiny new #MSWL page! Agent friends, take a look (and hit me up if you want to geek out over mutual faves): manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/feat…

My client list is super queer but I am definitely on the lookout for stories by trans women, both in fiction and non-fiction! We need these stories. I represent all ages, but primarily focus on childrens, picture books through YA! #mswl

Day 34: I have one solitary crisp, white eyebrow hair. Pajamas have fused to my body. I eat pickles for breakfast now.

Agents! I'm looking for manuscripts to boost everyone's spirits! Heart-warming MG! YA fantasy to get lost in! Funny or sweet PBs! #MSWL

This pandemic is hitting all of us differently on an emotional level, I know, but it's kind of making me crave stories about people worse off than we are... Does this make me a bad person?

Even so, I'd love to see more apocalyptic survival stories in my submissions box! #mswl

My kingdom for a picture book about rats trying to prove they’re as cute as mice. Positive rat PR would truly make my list complete #mswl

Rhythmic picture books that make for great read aloud. #mswl

while working from home, I've had Romancing the Stone & The Mummy playing on repeat, and I'd love to see a romantic adventure/suspense pop up in my queries #MSWL

Somebody please send me a picture book ms titled I HATE HUGS. It must not end in a change of heart. #mswl

I would love to see a funny, exciting #UF (Urban fantasy). Deets on how to query me here: cityowlpress.com/queries/ Deets on my preferences here (please read): enigmaticeditor.blogspot.com/p/likesdislike… #MSWL #querytip

I desperately want to go to space right now! I'm not much of a hard #SF person; I love character-driven adventures with heart a la Becky Chambers, and more sweeping space operas (ragtag crews, seemingly impossible odds, battles and hijinks, and...ahem...some romance) #MSWL

Picture books (fiction or NF) that show neurodiversity, disability, LGBTQ+ family structures, diaspora or immigrant experiences
Adult NF: I'm interested in cookbooks that teach me something new about the world
#mswl

Picture books with standout/breakout characters like THE BAD SEED and MOTHER BRUCE. #mswl

With the world as it is, I'm looking for some fun/funny picturebooks, agent friends! And I love smart wordplay, too. #mswl

I would love to see a funny, original #UF (urban fantasy) romance. Deets on how to query me here: cityowlpress.com/queries/ Deets on my preferences here: enigmaticeditor.blogspot.com/p/likesdislike… #MSWL #querytip
