[Note for non-authors: Literary agents sometimes post their Manuscript Wish List items (#MSWL) on social media to invite those who are writing similar works to consider querying them.]

Jane Smith (she/her)
Still closed for queries, but I’m updating my #MSWL for the new year when I *may* open in June. My sweet spots:

• Picture Books (#PB): Obsessed w/ Mo Willems’ pigeon books. Would love to see a series like that featuring New Zealand’s Bird of the Century, the pūteketeke
• Middle Grade (#MG): A history of the Russian Revolution appropriate for 8-12 year olds
• #MG retelling of The Shining.
