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.

For MG I'm interested in finding a high concept fantasy adventure, or a funny heart-warming narrative. I'm always on the look out for writing from underrepresented voices and so please do get in touch with your stories. 2/3

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

Teen action/adventure! I didn't know I wanted this until I lost out on one... and now I'm desperate for one and I can't find it! I'd love something that sits in the Alex Rider space, with genuine heart-in-your-mouth danger.

Agents, I’m on the hunt for a Christmasy holiday picture book but think family/cozy and less Santa. Note: no unsolicited manuscripts please; agented submissions only #kidlit #MSWL
