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. MSWL: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/as...

✨I am over the moon to welcome Gabriela Orozco Belt to Howland Literary! I immediately fell in love with her charming, bilingual picture books which celebrate culture and family and I am SO looking forward to working together!✨

I'm closed to queries but so excited to take one-on-one pitches at the online Chesapeake Writing Workshop on August 15-16. Join me! Anyone from anywhere can attend. Learn more about the virtual writers conference here: chesapeakewritingworkshops.com

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🫶

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

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 👀💛

What’s better than one agent? TWO! I am honored to have @briermarilyn.bsky.social as my first client! She is wildly talented and uber creative! @bookfairyangus.bsky.social and I fangirled so hard over her stories and illustration style and we cannot wait to share her work with all of you!

psst . . . I'M OPENING TO QUERIES ON 5/27✨ #MSWL: www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/as...

#Kidlit friends 💔 Please share this far and wide Our dear friend, Trenise Sabin, was the victim of a major burglary over the weekend. She and her husband Travis have lost everything— from clothing and appliances to irreplaceable items from their recent wedding and the urn gofund.me/ce50d993

I'm supposed to talk about my books and haven't been recently because of everything. But would you like a classic murder mystery that also talks about the grim history of eugenics in America? You know, because of the people talking about eugenics...yesterday? maureenjohnsonbooks.com/book/death-a...

Officially searching for a literary agent assistant position or some sort of an agent apprenticeship. I have one internship under my belt and I’m looking for the next step! My DMs are open for anyone who thinks we might be a good fit ☺️ Not looking to be paid—just want to learn!
