One last particular spooky #MSWL : A Japanese horror featuring Japanese ghosts / folklore from a Japanese author would be AMAZING. If you can comp to a Chilla's Art game, I would be so happy. OR a horror centered around video games would be *chef's kiss*

Young adult contemporary & historical fiction like GWEN & ART ARE NOT IN LOVE; YOU’VE REACHED SAM; WE ARE OKAY; and THE DAVENPORTS.

DO NOT send me:

Anything generated by AI; AI is not art, it’s a copout. It’s ok for research only.
Epic fantasies like LOTR
Sci-fi, space operas, robots, etc. I’m not a science-y person
Anything political, incl vaccination debates and trump supporters
Extreme violence
(Cont’d…)

Back to work next week and I’m so excited to check my inbox! 🤩 #kidlit #kidlit art #MSWL #PB #editor

*art by @ katiemadethat on insta

Illustrated fiction and graphic novels! These are (obvs) forms rather than genres, so I am open to them across every age group. I love the interplay between words and art and want to see people push the boundaries here. We shouldn't have to give up pictures when we grow up!

GRAPHIC NOVELS:
-airier, unique, dynamic MG and YA GNs whose art feels purposeful, like this book HAS to be in graphic novel form to shine

"Send me your illustrated picture books with literary sensibilities. I'm looking for whimsical stories, fascinating nonfiction, and stunning art."

"Intense, twisty stories about best friends set against the backdrop of competitive, high-stakes, art-based industries: this is what I live for!"

16. My stance on AI: Do NOT send me anything generated by AI. That is not art, it’s a copout. AI is ok to do research but in no way, shape, or form should it be used to “create” a story. Humans do the storytelling; AI steals it. My opinion. 🤷🏼‍♀️

please submit all of your queer novels, especially if the plot doesn't necessarily revolve around them coming out or trauma (not that i don't want those). i would love to see stuff like GWEN AND ART ARE NOT IN LOVE and JUST YOUR LOCAL BISEXUAL DISASTER

Hello authors & artists~I'm fortunate to work with some very talented individuals. They've made my life better through their stories & art. I love #kidlit & so, for several days this month, I'm opening to queries @StormLiterary Read details & #MSWL here:
www.stormliteraryagency.com/submissionguidelines

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

This reminds me that I would LOVE to see (nonfiction) books about art history with new research or from new perspectives or intersections with other fields! #MSWL

I'm currently open to queries for: PBs, art/illustrations, thrillers, mysteries, psychological suspense/thrillers, & adult nonfiction (see Query Manager for list: QueryManager.com/QueryLynnetteNLynnetteNovak). I'm TEMPORARILY closed to queries for MG & YA projects. #MSWL #WritingCommunity

Illustrated books. I’d say about 60% of my list is illustrated. Some of them are meant to be written/drawn in, some have art sprinkled throughout—but all of them help you connect with yourself in creative ways. #MSWL

Is it the puzzle within CAIN'S JAWBONE that currently has it at 8 on ALL OF AMZN??

Or is it the @tomgauld cover art? (It's the Tom Gauld.)

#MSWL: a graphic novel puzzle book.

👇 means I’ll be open to queries starting tomorrow (hoping this system will make the process more manageable for everyone!)

I’m looking to add to my list of passionate authors & illustrators who love & believe in the art of storytelling.
 
With that, my current 2023 #MSWL: 1/7
