Illustrated picture books by individual author/illustrators. My picture book preference leans heavily on the “literary” side of storytelling and prose. Moving topics, poetic language, visually and emotionally striking protagonists, unique art style. #MSWL

"Author/illustrator picture books. I love Liz Climo & Kim Smith, beautiful & colorful art, and geeky & queer stories."

As a reminder, Saffron is currently open to submissions for MG and YA! She's looking for creative and immersive worlds filled with adventure and intrigue, and MC's with a standout voice and lots of heart!

⭐️Middle grade humor with a big heart—I’d particularly like to explore careers outside of policing that nonetheless lend themselves to multiple adventures over the course of a series

⭐️Stories about (non-anthropomorphic) animals, human-animal bonds, nature & high-stakes survival. Think today's My Side of the Mountain. Spooky camp stories also scratch this itch!
⭐️Horror stories— genuinely scary or high-concept light humor (from Small Spaces to Ghost Squad)

*Own-voices* rep of characters with marginalized and intersectional identities in stories of adventure, romance, friendship, joy, and personal growth. Especially but not exclusively: disability/neurodivergence; queer/LGBTQ+; all BIPIC but esp Black American, Indigenous & Latinx

I'm open to queries again!!! Here's what I'm really wanting to see in my box right now...

#MSWL 1/?

-unique picture books by diverse authors
-joyful stories about the lives of marginalized creators in PB and MG
-MG & YA contemporary stories as graphic novels or novels-in-verse

Bring me strong character relationships and lush world-building. I want adventure and multi-level plots and tension that keeps me on the edge of my seat. Leave me wishing I was still wrapped up in the pages when I’m finished! #MSWL

I am especially keen to find YA mysteries & love stories, anything with an unreliable narrator & voicey MG characters who know their own minds! 🤗 I love historical & also contemporary adventures with a twist! Glorious writing is top of my wishlist - ALWAYS! #MSWL

For the new year, in addition to my forever #MSWL on the ArtHouse page, in 2023, I’m looking for some specifics!!:
- picture book nonfiction
- narrative nonfiction/memoirs (think MAID)
- middle grade National Treasure with non-founding father artifacts
- adult Black romance

My top 2 Adult Romance #MSWL wishes would be:
 
1. Adventure romance like The Mummy or Romancing the Stone—super steamy & fun, w/ a hint of suspense or the supernatural
 
2. Contemporary romance series set in a big city w/ a small town vibe—think Friends meets Virgin River

Would love to see a YA "Bad Sisters" or a Sarah Dessen-type novel with BIPOC main characters. Would also love an MG with some badass main characters. How about a PB with a crazy, funny twist at the end? #MSWL

💜WRITERS💜 No need to wait until the new year--I'm open to queries and would love to see your work. YA/MG/PB fiction and NF. Make me laugh, make me swoon, make me cry. BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled and other underrepresented creators please query! #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/shar…

"I love a unique atmosphere/strong sense of place in books across the board, whether that be picture books, middle grade, or adult fiction."
