Newly opening to: Graphic Novels!

I'm looking for tightly plotted adventures with a strong hook and an elevated art style. I'm interested in similar themes as in prose: children or teenagers tackling unjust systems, an intense first emotional experience connected to a larger social topic.

Newly opening to: Picture Books!

I'm looking for dry humor that's accessible enough for children to understand but still clever enough for an adult to enjoy while reading it over and over. I like cozy, warm, gentle, soft art styles, but I'm also willing to be surprised.

Illustrators! 🎨I am always on the hunt for amazing author illustrators of any and all age range. My tastes are wide ranging - from atmospheric and whimsical to bright and bold. But I like to see the hand behind the art and I want STORY in every piece!

I have a feeling that kidlit publishers in '97 saw the art and thought, 'Wtf, this is way too scary for children. Shelve it.'

Fastforward 20+ years and they're like, 'This isn't enough, we need to bring in Stephen King.'

TLDR: I want more horror! #MSWL

2/ MYSTERY: clever puzzles, tight timeframes, and compelling characters. Hobby-based mysteries (ballet, RPGs, filmmaking, gardening/botany, climbing/hiking). Settings I'd love to see include: college campuses, elite art/music/dance world, isolated retreats, off-season beach towns, sprawling estates

When it comes to non–fiction, I’m open to fresh and smart narrative nonfiction and memoir.
I’m particularly interested in everything in the areas of politics, human rights activism, anti-racism, African-American culture, gender equality and women’s empowerment, sport, music (Hip Hop, R&B) and art.

Also in Historical, I'm interested in seeing the clash of art/artists and war/politics play out on the page, similar to Fiona Davis’s The Chelsea Girls, Elyse Durham’s Maya & Natasha, or Nicole Galland’s Boy. Also, stolen art. Or how creatives reflected or reacted to tumultuous time periods. #MSWL

- i really want some funny picture books with off-beat characters in the center! Think Olivia, Elephant and Piggy, Gaston, Pete The Cat, etc! Also, I’m big on slightly more adventurous art styles!

– just earnest love and maybe a beautiful setting as a backdrop. Second is sharp, complicated upmarket, with bonus points for a speculative twist. (Nightbitch was my second favourite TIFF watch!). I also love anything that revolves around art and ambition in some form #mswl 🍂

I also love author-illustrators/teams! However, I am NOT a fit for art-only queries.

For some styles I like, check out the M&O team of picture book illustrators: Stacey Byer, Maribel Castells, Rachel Más Davidson, Tiffany Golden, Skylar Hogan, Dawn Masi, Sue Safianoff
