I'll DM you!

#MSWL round three! 🧡
I'm currently closed to #YA, but if your project matches these vibes or can comp to one of these books, send me a DM.

#MSWL round two!
This time for graphic novels 👀

Happy #MSWL day to all who celebrate 😉 I'll post a variety of wish lists throughout the day, but here is what I'm looking for in the #MG space!

Haha I like both!

Welcome to Howland Literary!
I am unbelievably excited to represent Cate and her work! Her YA paranormal romance is to die for—pun intended—so editors, get ready!

I'm open to middle grade queries!
#MSWL

You are amazing! Congrats!

✨EXCITING NEWS!✨

I'm thrilled to share @mariawenadcock.bsky.social will be joining the Howland Literary family as my new picture book client! Maria is a wildly talented and skilled writer who had me hooked from the first manuscript she shared. Great things are happening with my small but mighty team! 🫶

Just a reminder, I am closing tonight at midight!

Well, I was going to open to queries tomorrow but I just can't wait 🤓 From now until November 7th (or until I reach 200 queries) I am open to marginalized authors only. I will reopen to queries widely after the New Year.

I just hit 500 queries for July, so I'll be closing my inbox this Wednesday, 7/23, at midnight. I will likely stay closed for the month of August. Thank you so much to everyone trusting me with their work! I have some pretty special stories in my inbox right now 👀✨️

📢CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT📢
@bookfairyangus.bsky.social and I are absolutely, positively, undeniably OVER THE MOON to announce the wickedly talented @uriiswriting.bsky.social has joined our team! His #MG horror had me SHOOK and we can't wait to get it out into the world! Uriel, LET'S DO THIS! 🥳❤️

I was lucky enough to receive some truly exceptional material over the last two days, so in order to prioritize those manuscripts and my submission inbox, I’m closing temporarily, but will open again soon🫶

This time around I was just looking for contemporary, but next time I open, I’ll open wide in all genres again.

I’ve answered all queries so I’m doing a soft re-open, narrowing down my #MSWL to focus on areas I didn’t receive many queries when I initially opened. I’d 🩷 to see your chapter books, MG: contemporary, MG: nonfiction, MG: novel in verse, YA: contemporary, & YA: novel in verse

Hi! Sorry about that, I’ll have to update my general MSWL. I got close to 800 queries when I first opened which gave me so many awesome stories to consider, but right now I’m only looking at the genres I got limited queries for. I hope to open wider soon!

Although I'm closed to queries, I'll be checking out the #MGHub Pitch Party 🥳 I'm looking forward to reading your awesome pitches!

#editors watch out for @briermarilyn.bsky.social 👀💛
