I'm so passionate about surviving and survivors. Although I'm not able to rep projects where active abuse is taking place, I am very much interested in the healing and, hopefully, justice that comes after - at all ages. Feels trite to add this to #MSWL but this is where I can make a difference💜
Looking for some way to support Minnesotans from afar and am planning to add one of these to my next Bookshop order, in case anyone else is looking, too! ❤️
-Birchbark Books (Indigenous-owned)
-Literary Leaf (Puerto Rican-owned tea!)
-Strive Bookstore (Black-owned)
-Black Garnet Books (Black-owned)

A good question! I would generally say that immigrants are underrepresented in publishing, if that's you. Otherwise, I leave it up to you to decide if being underrepped has been your experience - I don't feel I'm the final judge of that! :)
this would kill me. but chunky yarn + experienced knitter = no limits I guess 😂
So excited to take one-on-one pitches at the 2025 (Online) Seattle Writing Workshop on November 7-8 - and I'll also be on a first pages panel starting at 1:15 Pacific. Hope to see you there! theseattlewritingworkshop.com

yes ☺️
Adult fiction - cozy mysteries, grounded fantasy, and romantic suspense helmed by BIPOC protagonists. Adult nonfiction - cookbooks, and nonfiction that's advocacy x the following (but not limited to): sports/exercise, health/ fitness, nutrition, medicine, and animals.
Looking forward to taking remote pitches at the 2025 Seattle Writing Workshop on November 7-8!! Anyone from anywhere can attend. I'm currently hungry for adult fiction and NF, though am also open to MG and YA!

You can wait until they respond - the DVpit link won't expire! :)
Yes that's totally fine :)
Had a chance to peek at Lucy Jean through a SCBWI critique - I don't have room for more PB on my list right now, but other #picturebook agents, take note of @laynejohnsonkidlit.bsky.social !
Got tempted into #DVpit today by all the great reposts! If I ❤️ your post and you'd like to query me use this link: querytracker.net/query/stefan...
Yes it does Brook, thanks for asking!
Across the board I appreciate anticolonialism and decolonization; non-Western-centric perspectives (and folklore); and protagonists that disrupt the status quo.
and nonfiction that sits at the intersection of advocacy and the following: sports and exercise science, health and fitness, nutrition, medicine, and animals; though any nonfiction intersecting with advocacy is welcome in my inbox.
In Adult fiction, I'm seeking cozy mysteries, grounded fantasy, and romantic suspense helmed by BIPOC protagonists. In Adult NF, I'm hunting for cookbooks from 1st, 2nd, (& so on!) -gen immigrants finding their ways back to their roots, as well as health/fitness-centric, body-neutral cookbooks;
In MG and YA I love gutsy, messy main characters in a layered narrative--bonus if there are sports, unique hobbies, or world-saving involved. I'm open to all genres in MG and YA, but prefer gutsy contemporary and grounded fantasy, horror, and mystery with a strong sense of adventure.
I'm currently seeking MG, YA, and Adult fiction and nonfiction, primarily by BIPOC authors.
Over the moon to be joining the Looking Glass team! 🥳I'm so honored and excited to take this wonderful step. I'm also open to queries for the next couple of weeks - find my MSWL below!
See: "Tack-ohs" 😭
me, fending off morning social-injustice-driven hysteria, anxiously checking the one (1) flower on my jalapeno plant
"Every tyrant falls in the end. What do you want to do that will outlive him? What part of your vision of the world will you work to build?"
When I open to queries again this Fall I will not be taking PB queries 😔
I was all in my feelings about it, but here's a way for me to stay involved with what picture book writers are up to these days and keep working with one of my favorite formats. Click the link in my bio to contact me!
