#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!

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!

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.

📢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🫶
10.06.2025 15:30 — 👍 10 🔁 3 💬 0 📌 0This 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
08.06.2025 14:57 — 👍 20 🔁 7 💬 2 📌 1Hi! 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!
08.06.2025 14:42 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Although I'm closed to queries, I'll be checking out the #MGHub Pitch Party 🥳 I'm looking forward to reading your awesome pitches!
