Manuscript Wish Lists - 4/4/21

MSWL 

I love searching through Twitter for what agents and editors are looking for on their lists. So, I occasionally find the time to put it out there for everyone. Hope it lands someone their dreams!

Elizabeth Law- Editor Holiday House

@elawreads You know what we're seeing now that's positive? Rather than a picture book bio per se, picture books about a portion of someone's life, about a new art movement, the invention of something, a [fill in the blank] or moment that changed history. #Kidlitchat

@FromCarly Let’s start with the basics. Here’s my MSWL! It’s pretty thorough, but I always miss something. Basically: give me all the dark, nuanced fantasy and/or scifi https://reviseresub.com/editors/carly-bornstein-hayward #RevPit
